Removing bike lanes will not…

Removing bike lanes will not stop many cyclists from using their bikes for their commute as many do not own cars or prefer not to use public transit (due to its own long list of issues). Lack of bike lanes will not reduce gridlock as cyclists and drivers will be forced to use the same lane resulting in slower speeds especially rush hour and increasing potential accidents.

It also goes without saying that it will cost the province/city a lot of money - money that could be used instead on something which could make an immediate positive difference for Ontario residents e.g. hospital funding and education systems. If the bike lanes are removed and there is not an improvement on traffic congestion, taxpayers would deem it a complete waste of money on something that was unnecessary.
