As someone who uses multi modal transit on a regular basis (driving a car at least once a week, a motorcycle once or twice a week, bicycle 4-5 times a week, and public transit 4-5 times a week), the idea to enforce not just the oversight, but full on removal of bike lanes, at the provincial level is a broad overreach and should be left to the decision of cities and their councillors. With the legislation being targeted at Toronto (as evidenced by the removal portion of the bill) the city is much too dense to focus on car infrastructure, and reduces the city and country's ability to meet our our climate goals.
Unless the Premier and MPP's wish to put their money where their mouth is, and actually fund subways to a proper degree, they need to step back and step off. (For comparison of funding, compare Singapore to Toronto since the groundbreaking of the York Spadina Subway Extension)
