This bill is an absolute misnomer. Removing bike lanes will lead to more people in cars, causing more traffic, more citizen deaths, more pollution, and worse cities across Ontario.
Also, it is a massive example of government overreach. Cities are responsible for their own roads and infrastructure. The Ontario government has no place telling cities what they can and can't do on their roadways especially when they have done their own research into the needs and wants of their own residents.
Bike lane have been proven to increase spending at adjacent businesses, have negligible impacts on driving times, do not impact emergency response times, and they increase the number of people cycling while reducing pedestrian and cyclist deaths.
Removing existing bike lanes will lead to more people dying. If the province is serious about Vision Zero, they will vote down this bill
