This seems like an ill-planned, knee-jerk policy that has no basis in reality or long-term planning. The Ontario government is demanding data prior to approving new bike lanes, but there is no corresponding requirement for data showing the business case or cost-benefit analysis for removing existing bike lanes. There is a growing body of evidence showing that bike lanes benefit neighbourhoods, increase business, and *reduce* traffic volume and congestion. Why are we tearing up existing infrastructure? It is incomprehensible why the government would spend money on this project, other than to buy car driver votes, especially when our healthcare and housing systems are strapped for funds. If this bill is passed rest assured that I will not be voting for the provincial conservatives.
