Removing or restricting bike…

Removing or restricting bike lanes is the wrong thing to do!!!
Bicycle lanes improve bicyclist safety and improve traffic flows for all people including car drivers. The government has no reliable statistics to back up their notion that removing bike lanes will make any noticeable difference to the commuting times for car drivers.
Bicycling is better for fighting climate change and improves people's health (which is very important given the heath care crisis we are currently in) so if anything, the provincial government should be funding more bike lanes not forcing Toronto to remove them. It is such an absurd waste of taxpayer money.
Shop owners say that bike lanes actually improve business for them as more bicyclists stop to buy goods than car drivers do.
This proposed legislation will not reduce gridlock or save time for car drivers and is moving the province in the wrong direction.
