It is quite frankly, unimaginable to me that in a year with this many deaths and injuries to cyclists that this government is taking such a regressive step. For a city that would like to be treated as world class, we are proving once again that we are in fact anything but.
As someone who cycles daily, this legislation will absolutely make my life more dangerous. And it will only serve to increase traffic congestion. I don't trust the average driver to give me the legislated safe clearance distance while they pass me, so if the bike lanes are removed I will absolutely be taking the entire lane, every single time that I ride. I'm not sure how traffic congestion will decrease when all lanes are reduced to my casual cycling speed.
Best of luck with that.
