As a driver in Toronto, I prefer to drive on streets that have bike lanes, especially the ones that have a curb separating bikes from cars. Not having to share a lane with cyclists makes driving so much less stressful. Plus because bike lanes get more people to ride bikes instead of driving, that means less traffic congestion (not more). What's more, the BIAs along Bloor are now confirming that their business actually went up after bike lanes got installed. They're literally a win for everyone.

It's clear that removing bike lanes isn't based on facts, it's based on childish personal grievances coming from the top. It will be using my taxpayer money to make traffic worse, harm businesses, and cause more crashes. The Progressive Conservatives are supposed to be about fiscal responsibility. Start acting like it. I'm not interested in voting for a party that meddles in municipal decisions and uses my taxpayer money for petty score settling.
