It makes no sense to remove…

It makes no sense to remove existing bike lanes for many reasons. They safe and save lives, encourages and enables more people to get out of their cars and reduce pollution/carbon emission while creating a healthy lifestyle. Not to mention the huge amount of our tax payers money to remove - not to mention the traffic blocking to do the work and massive waste it will produce. It's an extremely backwards approach. The cost will be ridiculous, when that good money should be supporting more important issues like healthcare, housing and the list goes on. Removing the bike lanes is not the solution to traffic gridlock. Please, please do not let it happen. I would not be entirely opposed to pausing any proposed new bike lanes (reluctantly), with allowing current ones under construction to be finished. The province most likely has no jurisdiction over municipal affairs as such.
Thank you.
