The removal of bike lanes is completely backwards. More traffic lanes in the city increase traffic as more people are forced to use cars, they make the city less safe for pedestrians and bikers and are terrible for not only the natural environment but for the cities cultural environment as well making Toronto look ugly and unwelcoming.
We need to add more bike lanes as this creates induced demand for more people to bike places making the city healthier in the process. Also it is such a waste of taxpayer money, of MY money to remove bike lanes?? it makes no sense to spend money on removing something that has been a net benefit to the city by every metric.
If people are having difficulty commuting from outside of Toronto there should be space for more buses, subways, and trains to allow for a more efficient commute, not increasing traffic by requiring more people to drive.

If any bike lanes start being removed protests will be organized and there will be much push back please don't ruin our beautiful city and province with more roads.
