This is a shockingly bad…

This is a shockingly bad idea across so many different levels. I see nothing but economic, environmental, and public health and safety regression as a result of this change, as well as increased congestion as cyclists are forced to take the lane. Removing these bike lanes is staunchly opposed by businesses and cyclists for a reason. As other major cities like Paris take steps to reduce the number of cars moving through their urban cores, it is shameful that we would be forced, in what is undeniably provincial overreach, to move the other way.
