I haven't seen any data to justify this decision and am concerned that it will compromise my safety while biking. I own a car but I enjoy cycling during my off days. Removing bike lanes from major streets doesn't change the fact that my destinations are often on those major streets. Forcing me to share the road along those stretches with cars will not make me safer.

I'm strongly opposed to the introduction of more red tape on city governments that are already struggling to provide new infrastructure. I'm livid that the most cost-effective form of transportation, relied on by low-income Ontarians, is being discouraged while cars are being treated as the default. The government should not be hostile to the needs of it's poorest citizens, nor should it be making decisions based on rule-by-dictate, rather than evidence based outcomes.
