This plan to remove bike…

This plan to remove bike lanes from Bloor/Yonge/University is phenomenally stupid.

How much taxpayer money has been spent on installing these bike lanes and now how much taxpayer money will be spent ripping them out? Also, if a municipality wants to install bike lanes shouldn't that be up to the municipality? I live in Toronto. I don't care if bike lanes are or aren't installed in Brampton or elsewhere. That's none of my business. What's with all this government red tape preventing stuff that people who live in these neighborhoods actually want in their communities. This doesn't seem inherently conservative.

If cyclists choose to continue to cycle on these streets once the bike lanes have been removed, they will be entitled to take an entire lane. That won't help address congestion. It certainly won't prevent cyclist deaths. What's this going to actually solve?

I'm not surprised by this plan, just disappointed.
