while i think the city of Toronto has lacked strategy and commons sense when placing bike lanes in the city - i DO NOT believe it is a good use of resources to remove the ones that are already there unless there are SERIOUS issues ( i.e. emergency vehicles cannot pass, etc.); if the Ontario government is serious about supporting Toronto traffic, they would support better transit rather than making deals to build large parking structures at luxury spas. Leave the bike lanes as is but change the policies so new bike lanes are added more strategically

ALSO- as a driver and pedestrian, I strongly recommend considering licensing bikes. The number of reckless and aggressive bicyclists is increasing. Even with protected Bike lanes, cyclists do not obey the rules of the road, run red lights and very often swerving out of their bike lanes into car traffic- it is unmanageable and dangers. Bikes should have the same responsibilities as any other vehicle on the road.

Finally- if the city would like to get strategic about bike lanes, all future bike lanes should be winter proofed by having headed pavement so snow does not stay on the lanes. This would allow for bike lane use throughout the winter.
