"Ontario is looking to fight gridlock and get drivers where they need to go faster." This line is the most offensive part of the proposal. This is not a provincial issue, but a direct attack on downtown Toronto.
Without safe efficient alternate transportation routes, such as the bike lanes proposed for removal, how should the current cycling population be expected to move around the Toronto? Prioritizing driving suggests more people will be pushed to drive, nullifying any proposed reduction to congestion.
And why should drivers be prioritized? Toronto has a solid public transit network. If drivers are frustrated, they should be considering alternative commute options like the subway or streetcar.
More cars = more traffic. We should be celebrating any reduction to number of vehicles on the roads.
