I'm absolutely in favour of the province putting a stop to additional bike lanes being added in cities at the cost of removing vehicle lanes.

As a cyclist, some of the recent bike lanes in Toronto are way under utilized. As a result of traffic lanes being removed, vehicle traffic has moved from main street (Bloor st) to neighborhood side streets which are not designed to handle the volume of cars. The increase traffic on neighborhood (residential roads) has lead to speeding, and increased risk to residents living in those neighborhoods.

Streets such as Bloor st, which have a subway line already should not have bike lanes as there is ample way to move around. Same goes for other major streets which have street cars/bus lanes. Bike lanes should be installed on secondary roads which are NOT serviced by pubic transit.
