This is the worst bill to come out for reducing gridlock I've ever heard of. If 100 bicycles pass you on your daily commute, you'll think it's not that many but you'll definitely notice 70-80 extra cars on the road when these bike lanes are removed. The people who bike in Toronto are already a vulnerable part of society who probably can't afford to drive with the price of parking and the cost of insurance. This bill pleases the rich and 1% who already have the luxury of driving. I thought this government was about small government. Adding additional provincial oversight to municipalities goes against conservative values. Additional red tape discourages development and improvements to local economies. Each municipality should continue to be able to make their own decisions on their own roads. Removing protected bike lanes on Bloor, Yonge, and University will not only increase traffic but also place undo harm to the lower class bike riders who already struggle with access to transportation. You are proposing something that will move us backwards as a society.
