Why is the provincial government involving itself in municipal affairs to a degree that it undermines the local decisions made by civic leaders elected by city residents?

Bike lanes are decided by elected officials at city hall. Monies for bike lanes are from municipal funds. The province has jurisdiction over the highways. The province should help fund transit services and bike lanes in cities. Look to Europe and how their urban plans to reduce traffic congestion, improve air quality and keep their citizens moving (cycling, walking) which improves mental and physical well-being. All this produce positive outcomes for health and environment.

The proposal to remove the bike lanes in Toronto is a waste of money - for what was already spent and to change the infrastructure back for cars.
