This proposal is terrible.
I don't drive. I've driven in the past, but it's such an awful experience that I moved somewhere I wouldn't have to. I take transit and, when it's safe and convenient, I bike. This proposal threatens the way I get around my city. It threatens the way thousands of people get around their cities in Ontario. Not only requiring provincial approval for every safe bike lane, (yes, every safe bike lane, because a safe bike lane cannot simply be painted in the gutter) but also ripping out existing bike lanes because drivers cannot handle taking up any less than 90% of the width of the road.
Cars are weapons. A cyclist cannot harm a driver. A driver can very easily kill a cyclist. The entitlement that drivers feel to hog the entirety of the transportation system gets people killed. Bike lanes save lives, and the promoters of this proposal will have blood on their hands.

If you want the roads to be less congested, you need fewer people to drive. Ripping out bike lanes is exactly contrary to that end. Ontario needs more bike lanes, and more numerous, more frequent, and cheaper transit options.
