I strongly disagree with the proposal to eliminate bike lanes where they prevent the creation of additional lanes for motorists. Even with the bike lanes we have, hundreds of bicycle-car/truck collisions, injuries and death occur every year. Removing bike lanes will make the situation worse. In addition, cyclists will likely (and understandably) use pedestrian paths, creating collision dangers with pedestrians. As you know, promoting walking and biking are important to improve people's health and reduce pollution. Prioritizing cars will only increase traffic congestion and worsen people's health. So stop micro-managing, and WITHDRAW this proposal, or at least leave it to each Ontario municipality's control as to what works best for them.
