Please do not waste MORE taxpayers money like we have already seen wasted with other projects, by removing bike lanes. Instead please consider using the money that would have been used to remove much needed bike lanes, to make transit more available or speed up construction both of which are contributing to traffic. It is frustrating for tax payers to see that money continues to be wasted by reversing things that have already been paid for.
Please remember that the province is not made up of only people who drive cars. Some drivers may not like bike lanes, but for those who use them, bike lanes makes it safer and saves lives. Many who use bike lanes are parents with families, who live downtown specifically to have a drive-free lifestyle. They also use transit and they also pay taxes.
Bike lanes are a minor irritant and removing them would be a "soft win" which will appease a few, for a brief period of time, but in the long run will make NO difference to commutes but will increase the risk to those who cycle.
