There is zero evidence that suggests that removing bike lanes will improve traffic flow. The only way to get Ontario moving is to provide safe, efficient alternatives to driving and studies from across Canada, the EU, the US and Australia show that building good cycling infrastructure reduces the number of cars on the road. Not only does this legislation go against urban planning best practices, it is a massive provincial overreach that adds unnecessary red tape to municipal planning.

This is transparent pandering to suburban voters who don't understand that bike lanes don't cause traffic—cars do.
