Bike infrastructure is fundamental to the urban transportation system. Removing bike lanes does not improve traffic, but instead forces more people into cars further clogging up the roads, while forcing cyclists to dangerously mix with traffic or pedestrians.

Shouldnt drivers want cyclists to be separated from driving lanes? this lets the cyclists stay out of the way to improve traffic flow. Should pedestrian paths also be removed for car space?

Cycling is a very space-efficient method of transportation. Moving 100 cyclists down the road requires far less space than is required for moving 100 car passengers (likely requiring 70 cars).

Further, street designs and local infrastructure meddling by the provincial government is simply government overreach, increasing red tape and bureaucracy.
