I’m really disappointed at the threat of removing existing bike lanes let alone placing barriers to building new ones.
I’m primarily a driver but try to use cycling and transit for shorter trips within the downtown core. The removal of existing infrastructure will make the use of these alternatives more dangerous and less convenient, forcing me and many like me to use my car for all trips, adding to even more gridlock.

As a driver the largest source of congestion in my experience is parked cars and delivery vehicles, even during rush hour where stopping is prohibited.

If the province really wants to deal with gridlock it should reevaluate on street parking, be tougher on enforcement of parking/standing/stopping signage, and instead of wasting money changing already existing bike lanes should prioritize the opening of transit projects that are many years delayed.

I feel here the provincial government is overstepping into municipal affairs instead of focusing on its neglected responsibilities such as healthcare and education.
