This proposal is a horrific step backwards for the province of Ontario because it has been proven that bike lanes reduce congestion (see link). All cities in Ontario and Canada should be enabling non-automotive (pubic transit, biking, walking, etc.) traffic because it is in all cases better for the environment. Plus active modes of transport reduce obesity and improve people's health leading to better quality of lives and less strain on am over-strained health care system.
On top of that it has been proven that more lanes just increase congestion, so as much as there might be a temporary reprieve the traffic will increase and the congestion will only be worse.
If this proposal passes I will never vote Conservative again... and I have always voted Conservative.
