It is critical that municipalities have the ability to take action that will help the people living in their boundaries. This proposal from the provincial government is overreach and has negative consequences for basic governance. Equally troubling is the provincial government incorrectly citing "facts" to support its position on bike lanes (e.g., that only 1.2% of people commute by bike) and conflating issues to buttress their position. Doug Ford is actively promoting misinformation.
As a resident of downtown Toronto who owns and drives a vehicle, I am 100% supportive of expanding the existing cycling infrastructure. Eliminating bike lanes will not reduce congestion. It will reduce safety for cyclists and slow traffic even more.
Please stay in your own lane and stop meddling in what is rightfully under municipal jurisdiction.
