It is a colossal waste of taxpayer funds to REMOVE any bike lanes that have been installed, and a gross overreach by the provincial government to dictate what is done on municipal streets by local elected officials.
The Ontario government needs to stop this “war on car” rhetoric and focus on the healthcare, education, and transit issues it has been neglecting.
Cities should be encouraging cycling and alternate methods of transportation to reduce traffic congestion. The province should focus on delivering the LRT and GO projects that are underway, but over budget and behind schedule.

Bike lanes are live lanes of traffic that help keep people moving. You want to open up more lanes? Ban on street parking on primary roads. A parked car impacts traffic more than a bike lane does.
