This is a bad idea that does…

This is a bad idea that does not make sense, will not achieve the goals it's designed to achieve, and is essentially a step backwards for the province. We should be encouraging residents of the province to use modes of transportation OTHER than cars; not making it harder for people to use those alternate modes of transportation. Biking infrastructure has improved so much in the city over the past few years. As a result, more people than ever are biking instead of driving, thereby reducing the number of cars on the road and reducing congestion and gridlock. It is absurd to blame bikes for the bad traffic. The problem is that we have too many cars on the road and too many people driving in the city without paying their fair share. Removing bike lanes is only going to make the problem worse. This is also completely outside the scope and mandate of provincial authority, and should be left up to the municipalities to decide for themselves. Finally, it is ludicrous and irresponsible to spend my tax dollars ripping out bike lines that have already been built; especially those on Eglington, that the province itself just installed.
