Please don't remove bike lanes. I began riding my bike again to commute at the age of 40 because bike lanes made me feel safe again. Transit is unreliable but I can depend on my bike. If I don't ride, I will have to drive my car (which is collecting dust) and I know I'm not the only one.
All the bike lanes we have were installed after extensive public consultation and study. Having some minister who doesn't even live here decide based on his feelings if a bike lane is justified or not, is dictating.
People will die if you do this. In my neighbourhood I see mums & dads taking their kids to school on the back of bikes. There are roads here where bikes out number cars during rush hours. Let people make the healthier, cheaper, and environmentally friendly choice safely.
If you want traffic to move, install smart traffic lights. Help transit to function reliably.
