This is clearly a betrayal of Ontario's commitment to reduces greenhouse gases. Multi-modal transportation is a key strategy for reducing emissions from transportation. Currently, transportation is the largest category of emissions in Ontario:

Further, a City of Toronto survey shows that people are feel twice as comfortable on streets with on-street bike lanes or cycle tracks:

Therefore, removing these bicycle lanes will make it more difficult to access car-alternate transport modalities - which are essential for reducing emissions. Removal of these lanes are clearly an abdication of any attempts to reduce emissions from transportation.
