I live in Halton and commute to Toronto for work. I strongly disagree with the removal of bike lanes unless the dedicated bike lanes are replaced with an alternative prior to removal (I.e. an underground cycling network or dedicated bike lanes on a nearby parallel street). With the bixibike network and cycle couriers, bicycle is currently one of the fastest ways to get around the city and, unless we are trying to discourage active transport, cyclists sharing a lane with cars seems to slow traffic further and makes me far less confident when driving in the city.
