This is gross overreach by the province. It also ignores all current research on efficient urban planning. A robust city infrastructure offers options for safe travel that include walking, cycling, public transit and driving. Considering that the bike lanes being suggested for removal are along the lines of the already overburdened and under maintained subway, this shows a complete lack of forethought and vision. The plan should be to connect the disjointed portions of the cycling network, which would increase its use and thereby take cars off the road, decreasing traffic. Instead, this bill proposes to waste tax payer dollars by ripping up existing infrastructure. SHAME!!!! This is ignorant, backward and selfish policy proposed by a motorist trying to preserve his own interests, not do what is best for the city! SHAME!!!
If the province wants to keep touting Toronto as a "World Class City", perhaps it should try to keep pace with the infrastructure models being used by actual word class cities instead of sticking its head in the sand.
