I really disagree with this proposal. Bike networks are essential for safety, get people out of cars and into modes of transportation that keep them active and healthy, and create fewer harmful air pollutants and GHG emissions. I use several bike lanes that have required removal of a lane of traffic and I feel so much safer and willing to ride. Not only that, they are PACKED with cyclists, especially at rush hour. My biggest frustration with this proposal though is that adding bike lanes saves me time compared with any other mode of transportation in Toronto. Biking to work (30 mins) is much faster than transit or driving ( 4o minutes to over an hour). Lastly, this should be a local decision, based on knowledge of the local context and not up to the province.
