I am a daily bike lane user. I ride to work every day. It has changed my life, I've lost 20lbs, my commute has been cut in half. If bike lanes are removed, I will still ride my bike. I will slow down traffic, I will cause congestion. The bike lanes allow for us to ride in safety and to get to our destinations quickly. It is anti-democratic and a gross overreach of provincial authority to override our municipal councils to ban local development decisions.
Bike lanes are efficient, cheap, save lives, and improve traffic according to every peer reviewed study. I will link to this recent one done by the university of Toronto: https://news.engineering.utoronto.ca/machine-learning-analysis-sheds-li…
I quote the article: "Another key finding was that there are some routes that appeared to be essential no matter what strategy was pursued."
“For example, the bike lanes along Bloor West show up in all of the scenarios,” says Saxe.
This regressive policy should be immediately withdrawn.
