This is an objectively terrible plan:
1. A complete waste of money to destroy bike lanes that were just built. We have a crumbling healthcare system that could use some funds right now
2. Pandering to cars does not improve traffic. They take up too much space so you will never move as much people in equivalent space for bikes
3. Let the elected officials in the municipalities decide what streets should have bike lanes. People in Peterborough should not have influence on what Torontonians should build on their streets
4. Bikes are way better for the environment than cars, we are at the beginning of a climate crisis so the bare minimum of supporting non polluting travel would be nice
5. Multiple studies on Bloor have shown that pedestrians and cyclists are more likely to purchase goods from local stores. Bike lanes are literally better for business too

It is a shame our provincial government is wasting time and money to make the province a worse place. We should not go forward with this proposal.
