Removing safe transportation options like bike lanes is terrible policy for a growing city like Toronto. If I don't have safe bike lanes, I am more likely to use my car, and increase congestion. The rate of population growth cannot support car centric infrastructure. Removing bike lanes will not result in noticeable commute time improvments. Money will be wasted, everyone will still complain about Toronto traffic, and the conservative government will forever tarnish it's "common sense" claims, when this policy fails. Moreover, the rural voters the PC party relies on, definitely won't see the benefit to removing downtown Toronto bike lanes, they will however hear about all the wasted taxpayer funds. Oh, and the congestion increases from the construction needed to remove bike lanes on main arteries will go on for years. This is unimaginably bad policy.
