There is no reason to…

There is no reason to believe that Provincial government should be involved in decisions that should be made at the city level, especially with the installation or removal of bike lanes. I use these bike lanes often to commute to work, and by doing so I'm reducing the number of cars on those roads. I've been riding along Bloor for 30 years, and it's only since the bike lanes have been put in that I feel safe to ride. It's not perfect - there is still constant construction along the Danforth/Bloor corridor that adds congestion. Honestly, it's this construction that slows down traffic more than the lack of a second lane.
The suggestion to move the bike lanes to side streets is asinine and will lead to more injuries - side streets have so many 4-way stops that would make riding impractical. If you don't have safe bike lanes then people are less likely cycle, or will try anyways and get hurt. In this case you're prioritizing profit over lives, and that is extremely short sighted. I also drive to work and when I do realize that it's going to take time, and in no way do I blame that on the bikes.
Stay in your lane. Focus on provincial issues like highways and leave the details of the GTA to the people we elected to deal with the issues and know them best.
