I was alarmed to learn of this proposed legislation. Removal of the three bike lanes is wasteful and illogical, and removes choices from Toronto commuters. Congestion has been awful for decades, and the only effect of these bike lanes was to provide a safe alternative to sitting in gridlock. Perhaps if bike infrastructure and transit received more attention, congestion could be alleviated further by getting many more cars off the street. Instead, this government prefers the crab in boiling water approach to transportation - we must all be forced to sit in traffic with our premier.
Furthermore, the provincial legislature should not be interfering in urban planning decisions made at a municipal level. This kind of massive government overreach is grossly hypocritical on the part of a "conservative" government.
I have voted conservative in the past but this is the straw that broke the camel's back, and I will not make the same mistake again.
