This is an absolutely absurd…

This is an absolutely absurd proposition--wasteful and a terrible misuse of public funds. Consider the cost of salaries to conceive, design and build the bike lanes, and the material resources that went into creating the bike lanes. This alone should be a reason to preserve them. But there is more.

The bike lanes on Bloor, University and Yonge streets are well-used and increase safety for cyclists and pedestrians.

Let's follow this logic: more cars on the road results in more congestion. Transit policies that support more cars on the road are going to create more congestion. Transit policies that support accessible, effective public transportation and bike transit will reduce the amount cars on the road.

Bike lanes reduce air and noise pollution in the city, and create safe, effective means of transportation for cyclists.

Municipalities should have the right to determine the appropriate bike lanes in their cities. This is not a provincial concern and the province should stay out of it.
