This act should not pass.
Bike lanes take up 1/5 of a lane on each side of road and do not contribute the more traffic jam. Bike lanes help to reduce more traffic off the road by replacing cars that would be normally on the road with bikes on the bike lane that take up less space and do not contribute to automotive congestion.
Removing a bike lane or two on a road would not add an additional lane to a road nor even if it did add a lane, studies have found that more lanes do not equate to better traffic flow.
Bike lanes also prevent unnecessary deaths of people who travel on bike. Bikes are means of transportation for all Ontarians regardless of income level and physical ableness. Taking away bike lane is to take away individual freedom and safety of universal right to mobility.
