The provincial government…

The provincial government should leave matters such as bike lanes to the municipalities. This is a clear overreach of power and targets bikers disproportionately, starting by tearing out three bike lanes in critical downtown locations. If this bill is supposed to provide a framework for determining the removal or addition of a bike lane, why do these routes automatically get a pass on that process? Additionally, removing bike lanes only increases the danger for bike and car commuters alike. Food delivery cyclists will be out on the roads working whether there are dedicated bike lanes or not, just as other commuters downtown where it just doesn't make sense to drive 5 km for 15 minutes when they could bike for the same amount of time. Removing bike lanes will not magically improve traffic in Toronto. The province needs to stay in their lane.
