I'd appreciate if decisions by the provincial government were made using evidence-based research. There is lots of research showing that gridlock is caused by citizens relying on cars as the only viable form of transportation. There is research showing that building more roads or having more lanes does not reduce gridlock in the long term. There is research that shows that 90% of people shopping along Bloor street are pedestrians or cyclists. Removing bike-lanes goes against all this research and has no research to support it will actually reduce gridlock or save "me" time.

I live in Hamilton and I want a city where I can feel safe to cycle anywhere in the city. And hamilton has done a great job improving their cycling network. I can cycle 5km to work on 95% dedicated bike lanes. I also have a car and would not cycle if I had to share the lanes with other vehicles. By removing the bike lanes, you will be adding my car back onto the road and increasing gridlock.

Please stay out of making decisions that you are not following the research on. It may get you a few votes in the short-term, however it will damage your legacy for decades to come.
