The Province of Ontario should not have jurisdiction to decide whether and where the City of Toronto ca n have bike lanes. It is a gross overreach of power, at the Sour Grape Premierès whim. *See Science Centre Overreach to help Ford Buddies get rich.
An even stupider idea is to further disrupt traffic to rip out the busiest bike lanes in the city. Bloor-Danforth ave and University are probably the most used lanes. Strongly suggesting that all municipalities justify their future bike lanes does make sense, but the provinceès oversight should be a rubber stamp on what the city decides, not an overturning.
The stupidest idea I have ever heard was putting another highway UNDER the 401 -- ie stopping traffic on the nations biggest highway for years. One could almost expect this kind of stupidity from an episode of the Simpsons.
If the Gov of Ontario wants to do something smart, it should decree the former sale of the publicly funded 407 to a private consortium as illegal, and keep those future revenues to fund traffic expansion in the province.
