If you think that getting rid of bike lanes will reduce traffic then you've been reading the wrong reports. They've actually been proven to increase traffic because there will be more drivers on the road.
If you want to decrease traffic, why don't you start with actually completing some of the work on public transit lines like the Eglington Crosstown or any of the insane amount of construction on the GO train lines. Or regulate automobile manufacturers so that car sizes decrease so they take up less space on the roads. If you think riding Toronto/Ontario of bike lanes will protect pedestrians then you're wrong as well. The increase in car sizes and increase of cars on roads will only lead to an increase in pedestrian deaths.
I am demanding a reconsideration to removing bike lanes as well as ceasing the 413 being built. Getting rid of greenbelt is exactly why there is constant flooding in Toronto during the summers. To continue getting rid of those protected lands will only lead to more flooding and other ecological disasters that will make Toronto and Ontario less habitable.
There are many ways that you can prioritize and protect the people of Ontario, neither of which are paving the greenbelt or riding Toronto of bike lanes. I urge the province to reconsider and find evidence-based solutions to the province's issues, like how the more readily available healthcare allows preventable diseases to be caught before they are expensive for the Province/tax payer.
