I use the Bloor bike lanes that this bill proposes to rip out every day to travel within the city. It used to be so much more unsafe when the bike lane didn't exist.
The Ontario government shouldn't be imposing red tape and bureaucracy on local infrastructure like bike lanes. It should be left up to the people who are residents of that city.
6 cyclists have died in traffic accidents this year. Removing the bike lanes is only going to make the safety issue worse, and make drivers more nervous when they have to share the lane with cyclists.
This is a needless waste of taxpayer money. We paid to put the bike lanes in initially, and everybody waited extra time in traffic due to that initial construction. Now you want to pay more to rip them out, to create more construction, when they will probably just go in again when ford is out?? what a needless waste!
If the bike lanes are ripped out, the traffic improvements for commuters will be marginal at best , but it will have a disproportionate negative affect on cyclists who actually live in the city.
