It has been proven that bike lanes are beneficial to cities. They reduce traffic fatalities, they increase the number of people visiting businesses and they help speed up traffic.

Your decision to remove bike lanes in Toronto will undeniably cause people to die. This has already been the deadliest year in Toronto's history for cyclists, how on earth is removing bike lanes going to help this. If you remove bike lanes under the premise that you want to speed up traffic you are announcing to the whole world that you value 5 minutes of your time more than the lives of living breathing humans.
Bloor, younge, and university are all destination streets. They have plenty of business on them which our vital to our economy. The lanes on Bloor have driven more people to visit the businesses, and people who bike spend more money at these business. Therefore, bike lanes are beneficial to the economy.
Please think of this from a pragmatic, data driven lens, and not pandering to your voters.

Your job as a leader is not to ensure your reelection, it is to create a healthy and thriving province, something which you have grossly failed to do.
Do better.
