The idea of removing bike lanes from streets in the biggest city in Canada makes 0 sense. No other major city is doing this. There is no data whatsoever backing up the removal of bike lanes to improve traffic.

If the issue is indeed that emergency vehicles are stuck in traffic then more and wider bike lanes should be built instead. Emergency vehicles can easily use the bike infrastructure to move through traffic. Bicycles, scooters etc can easily get out of the way should emergency vehicles need to use the lanes. Cars cannot, and replacing a bike lane with another traffic lane will only propagate the issue as cars will fill the new lane and emergency vehicles will continue to remain stuck in traffic.

Stop this nonsense that literally no one asked for.
