I believe this is a super shortsighted bill that will cost all taxpayers a lot of money to make the situation worse. As a renter close to Bloor street I rejoiced when the bike lanes were installed as I finally had another option to commute and get around the city in a more pleasant way. The only way to reduce traffic congestion is to give people alternatives to driving, and removing bike lanes to ‘solve traffic’ is proven to not work.

Bike lanes also add a backup option to the transportation network, for example when there was a subway delay it was quick and easy to just hop on a bike share and bypass traffic. They also make it safer for all road users, not just cyclists, by narrowing the roadway and slowing cars. And keep in mind that we still have highways for cars to go fast on, but we need to prioritize safety first on residential and urban streets.
