I strongly disagree with the removal of bike lanes for several reasons:

- bike lanes in Toronto should be the City of Toronto's decision. The Ontario government needs to focus on priorities that are in its own jurisdiction

- bike lanes make cyclists safer, reducing accidents. This makes biking more attractive and encourages cycling. Removal of the bike lanes is dangerous for cyclists - increasing injuries, death and insurance claims (least important, but if you're counting dollars).

- removal of bike lanes will increase car traffic as cyclists who can no longer safely bike to work will need to resort to driving. Studies show that increasing the availability of bike lanes eases traffic congestion.
