I use Toronto's bike lanes every day. Commuting by bicycle is fast, inexpensive (for me and for road maintenance), good for my health and helps support climate change mitigation. Removing existing bike lanes and blocking the development of new infrastructure will not only make cycling more dangerous, but it will have a negligible impact on commute times (as referenced in the extensive literature on the subject). Most of all, it would be a waste of money and a disruption to commuters. Much of this work was just completed (eg University Ave) at great expense and disruption. As it stands, I will not consider voting for this government in an upcoming election based on this matter and other interference in municipal affairs. This government's actions are not conservative, just populist and counterproductive.
