I no longer live in Toronto…

I no longer live in Toronto but this is not sound policy. This is very clearly a municipal issue, and a waste of provincial government resources that would be better served exploring other more pressing land-use issues over which Queens Park actually has jurisdiction. The arguments in support of removing these lanes are not based in evidence, but rather informed by a narrow consultation of a minority of stakeholders, bolstered by biases. This policy relies on magical thinking, to suggest a policy solution for urban transportation that does not align with a single other jurisdiction which could by any metric be seen as leading in this area (including for motorists).
