Removing installed bike lanes from city streets is an incredible waste of resources, an overreach of provincial jurisdiction, and a terrible idea for improving commute times. Bike lanes enable safe and active transportation for many road users in the city of Toronto. Biking is nearly always the fastest way to get around the city. Bike lanes ensure that these commutes are as safe as possible. Bike lanes help to reduce emissions by encouraging those who might otherwise drive to take a more climate friendly option.

Removing bike lanes is an exceptionally cynical policy choice. I urge the government to reconsider this bill.
