This is disappointing on so many levels
First, Provincial Government meddling in Municipal affairs? There are so many Provincial issues, Health Care, Housing and so many more and this Government decided bike lanes are top of the list to resolve
Bike Lanes save lives and give people more opportunities to move around the city. Not everyone owns or can afford to own a car and the Lanes give us another option.
Removing bike lanes are not going to magically relieve congestion. Go and talk with traffic engineers. They will tell you, adding a lane doesn't help. You know what helps. Better Transit. Safer streets for pedestrians and cyclists. More opportunities to leave the car at home or better yet, not to need a car.
Instead of beer at the corner store or a tunnel under the 401 or the 413. Put all the money into OHIP, or download the money to cities for better transit or better street design.
I personally have been using a bicycle as my main mode of transportation for the last 40 years. I have never owned a car and the bike lanes were amazing when they were introduced.
