1. This legislation will cost the lives of people trying to bike from place to place who will be in greater danger of being struck by cars.
2. This legislation will not reduce gridlock. Removing a few bike lanes will come nowhere close to meeting the latent demand for increased lanes of traffic. You have to meet that demand with sustainable, regular, and reliable forms of driving alternatives (which will have the knock-on effect of actually reducing the amount of drivers on the road and reducing gridlock).
3. The province should leave municipal decisions to municipalities and their ELECTED governments. It is very undemocratic for the province to step in on this issue and it subverts the will of municipal residents.
4. Why, when there are so many issues in Ontario including an underfunded healthcare system, is the province engaged in the drastic inefficiency of ripping up an existing project, wasting both the money initially spent on the bike lanes and the money spent to take them out?
