I am opposed to the removal…

I am opposed to the removal of bike lanes in the absence of an expert-led and data-based analysis of both the costs of bike lane removal and the costs and benefits of bike lanes and a transparent reporting process.

I understand that the government’s plan to remove bike lanes will cost me, an Ontario taxpayer, nearly $50 million to remove the lanes and forego sunk costs of nearly $25 million (planning and construction costs for existing lanes), bike lane removal will require 9 months of construction, slowing traffic, and that at the end of the day little driver time will be saved.

This is ridiculous. Instead of wasting time and money on this, I would ask that you please commit those resources to something that *builds* this province, not something that wastes my tax dollars.
