Every bike is a car off the road. Cyclists will not go away if you remove their lanes. They just will have to either a) drive, adding further vehicles to the road and increasing congestion, or b) exercise their right to take up an entire lane, again, slowing traffic and putting them at much greater risk of harm.
Many people rely on bikes to get around Toronto and this proposal is effectively proposing to remove the equivalent of the 401 for bikes.
I implore you to research induced demand. Removing these lanes would devastate millions living in Toronto who rely on this crucial piece of the bike network and only exacerbate Toronto’s traffic problem.
Please leave decisions about Toronto’s bike infrastructure up to Toronto; this is not a provincial matter.
