Bike lanes are incredibly…

Bike lanes are incredibly important to getting around Ontario. As a resident, I rely on them on a daily basis, as bicycles are my main mode of transportation. I do not own a car, nor am I currently in a position to buy one. The bike lanes help keep me safe, and removing them will only force me to bike in the road, which most certainly will not help congestion, safety, or anyone's happiness.

Beyond that, this act is a gross overreach of the provincial government. This is the very definition of adding red tape to getting things done, and it's incredibly disappointing to see a government that touts decreasing red tape and strong mayor powers propose this.

Given that hypocrisy, we can only conclude that this is either a power grab, lines someones pockets, or is an attempt to incentivize anti-cycling voters to vote for you. None of these are acceptable of a government meant to be looking after its citizens and it most certainly won't be forgotten if passed.
