This does not seem, to me,…

This does not seem, to me, to be a proposal made in good faith to benefit drivers in Ontario. Were it truly the case that the objective is reducing gridlock, the actions that the province proposes should effectively reduce the high number of cars on the road - the precise cause for gridlock in the first place.

Removing bike lanes WILL result in more bikes in car lanes which does not serve the objective of reducing gridlock.

Should cyclists be dissuaded from cycling they may instead opt to commute by car, adding more cars on the road, which does not serve the objective of reducing gridlock.

Adding more traffic lanes in service of reducing gridlock is not sustainable either. If the province prioritizes infrastructure for driving over other alternatives, will this lessen or grow the number of cars on the road over time?

Please consider the perspective that gridlock can be reduced sustainably by, instead, investing in infrastructure that makes alternative modes of commuting - cycling, public transit, walking, and so on - more appealing than driving. This is how we can effectively reduce gridlock in Ontario without stripping vital, modern transportation infrastructure.
