It is absolutely baffling that the provincial government considers removing and restricting bike lanes as an effective method for reducing congestion. Automobiles continue to be the most polluting, dangerous, space-inefficient, and expensive ways for folks to get around and it has been proven time and again that the only way to fight congestion is to give people viable alternatives to driving. I have linked a recent CBC article supporting these statements. If the government really wants to fix congestion, it would speed up the Finch and Eglinton LRT projects.
There are also other unsavoury portions added to the bill, which the bike policies are no doubt to distract the media from, such as removing the environmental assessments for the pointless Highway 413 project and increasing the speed limits on our already dangerous highways.
Cyclists will die as a result of removing protected bike infrastructure. These deaths are preventable.
