The idea that removing bike lanes would help ease congestion is a laughable and illogical excuse for provincial government overreach. Why are we so concerned with bike lanes when it has been objectively shown that active transportation and accessible public transportation are actual solutions to traffic issues? Let alone the environmental and safety impact of having fewer cars on roads. And why is this coming from the provincial government?

I do not understand why the focus isn't on reducing the number of cars on roads, as that would actually help with gridlock. The provincial government does not seem bothered by that and wants to stick to induced demand. What is it with this government's need to make decisions based on anything but actual data?

Please stop meddling in municipal politics to implement absurd policies for what feels like the sole purpose of getting a headline.
