This is a terrible idea and…

This is a terrible idea and done for obvious political exploitation, I am disgusted.

What does the government think will happen if bike lanes are removed, that cyclists will just disappear? Cyclists will still be present on roads and actually cause more congestion because they will not have a dedicated space. It will make roads more chaotic and dangerous.

Congestion is an issue in Toronto. The government is obviously avoiding the clear issue, which is allowing developers to clog up roads endlessly while doing their work, a lack of reliable public transport to encourage people to leave their cars at home as is done in all major cities around the world. Those cities, incidentally, are all expanding their cycling networks, not dismantling them.
