This proposal is unacceptable. Bike lanes that are already built should not be removed. Induced demand has been proven in plenty of research, so this will not reduce gridlock at all, it will just encourage more people to drive and get stuck in gridlock traffic, and increase the number of cyclists injured or killed by vehicles.
The numbers you have used to show cyclist usage do not accurately reflect the actual percentages of people in those neighbourhoods who use the bike lanes, as you have included numbers for the greater GTA areas outside of the downtown area, so that is deliberately misleading.
Requiring provincial approval for bike lines is a ridiculous addition of red tape and is completely unnecessary.
This proposal is also trying to sneak through not needing an environmental assessment for expanding highway 413, which is also unacceptable.
This proposal should not be accepted.
