We’ve just spent tens of millions of dollars and about a year changing our street (College Street in Toronto) to include a larger bike lane and it would be inconvenient and a terrible waste to undo that.

And as a driver, I don’t notice any difference in the amount of time it takes me to get places. What i do notice is that I am no longer super stressed about sharing the road with cyclists, and that pedestrians are not in the street as much too (although I am still careful to look out for both).

I also think it’s not appropriate for the Ontario government to step in on a regional/municipal issue such as cycling lanes. It should be up to the individual local governments, as it is now.

Would it not be more prudent for the Ontario government to focus on province-wide issues, like improving the healthcare system?
