Bike lanes provide a safe and convenient travel route through the city, especially where public transit is lacking or inefficient (i.e. most of the city). Removal of bike lanes is short-sited and will just result in more congestion as there are more cars on the road, who are arguably the most selfish road users, constantly disobeying road regulations (illegal stops in the curb lane, blocking the box of intersections, coasting through pedestrian crosswalks without stopping or indicating, etc.)
This bill present a safety concern for all road users and should not be entertained. We should be making measure to REDUCE the number of cars driving unnecessarily through our city.
Furthermore, this is an issue for individual municipalities to handle - the Provincial Government and Doug Ford have no place to dictate how an individual city should be internally run. This is a gross overstep of the political systems in place.
