This is a cynical, populist attempt that purposely misleads people to conflate bike lanes with traffic congestion. Studies around the worlds cities show that bike lanes improve congestion in the mid to long term, provide safe travel for cyclists, and promote healthier, greener travel. We have a subway system, streetcar tracks, and bike lanes. There is no need for the majority of Torontonians to be driving for their commute or even on a frequent day to day basis.

This is a shameful overreach of provincial powers and will lead to injuries, deaths, more polluted air, and in the mid-term to long-term, MORE cars on the road resulting in equal congestion issues. This is not the way. Let us keep our bike lanes.
