The idea of removing bike…

The idea of removing bike lanes to help the flow of traffic is completely neanderthal thinking. Cars and parking create more traffic, not a small, protected lane that allows for speedy bicycles to pass through.
The success and growth of the Toronto city bike program should, to any reasonable member of parliament, prove the success and desire for the city of Toronto to have dedicated bikes lanes... That is on top of the studies that already prove that bikes do not add to traffic woes.
I would suggest that the provincial government stop trying to make itself look good to rural voters by trampling on the authority of municipal governments and the desire of the citizens that actually live within it.
