Data collected on what the two things this bill seems to intend: 1) reduce gridlock, and 2) improve the safety of cyclists indicates very clearly that the removal of bike lanes will not solve either of these problems.
Gridlock is improved by increasing high-volume transit like light rail and bus routes.
I live in London, ON and should be able to get between London and all parts of the GTA without a car — that is a tricky thing to do right now. VIA rail is often late and quite costly, buses on the 401 still have to sit in 401 traffic. I just got back from Europe — they can show you how it’s done.
The removal of bike lanes will result in cyclists being injured or killed by motorists.
As leaders of the province, it is not okay to ignore best practice and just do what a loud minority wants — people’s lives are at risk here.
You must abandon this bill and look into the actions that will actually result in the reduction of gridlock.
