I am not in favor at all of the Provincial government making decisions for municipalities. We elect our councilors to make local decisions such as bike lanes. Hamilton councilors have listened to cyclists and car users when it comes to installing bike lines.
The provincial government seems to be deciding what is best for cities eg LRT going nowhere when electric buses and dedicated bus lanes would be much better. To make these improvements in transit local municipalities need cash help from the Province so that roads are designed to allow for all types of traffic to use the road space.
We need better transit to reduce grid lock if you do not get cars off the road then nobody will go anywhere no matter what the type of travel they decide to use.
Removing bike lanes is not going to change city transit, listen to transit experts not the folks who drive cars.
I do drive a car and I will admit every trip takes longer than it used to at certain times of the day, but removing or not adding bike lanes has very little impact on travel time.
In fact cyclist move faster than cars, promote cycling.
