This is gross provincial overreach and impugns on people's abilities to elect local politicians to represent their interests. The bike lanes in Toronto are supported by the local community and city council has recently voted to reject this proposal, showing the provinces misstep in trying to enforce these changes.

Furthermore, bike lanes play a large part of reducing traffic in cities, not creating it. It's clear to see that the large amount of space taken up by cars both on the road and while parked causes much more traffic than relatively tiny bikes that are using these bike lanes. By removing these bike lanes in favour of lanes for cars, the Ford government will be creating more traffic not only in the streets that it is removing the bike lanes from, but also in other parts of the city as well.
