I feel that this bill has some extreme impropriety - the provincial level should not be meddling in Toronto level affairs simply to pander to Northern Ontario voters.

If the issue is truely about lane congestion, the great impact with least enforcement cost should be targetted at building developers who demand lane closures when they could be bussing in workers like many more advanced countries do. Building developers have been using Toronto's streets as a proxy extension of their building sites for years, but because monied interests are involved they are not the spotlight issue here.

Traffic studies have already shown that the absence of bike lanes correlates to increased collisions and cyclist harm, and the current bike lanes are grossly abused by delivery drivers and Toronto police as free parking already. Removing these lanes will harm businesses in the areas since cyclists will have diminished safety.

Do the right thing and stop selling out Toronto and the province into the pockets of private developers who are the ones actually clogging up city streets.
