Removing bike lanes is a horrible idea, and represents a massive step backwards with respect to climate justice, accessibility justice and freedom of choice. Not only does it actively endanger cyclists (because people will bike whether or not the lanes are there), but it actively goes against transportation theory.
Adding more car lanes has been empirically proven to NOT reduce traffic (see induced demand and triple convergence). Bike lanes have been proven to help with traffic congestion while benefitting users tremendously through other factors like not having to own a car to move around (which is very expensive), allowing children to ride their bikes in safety and allowing people to live healthier lives.

This bill is a horrible idea that clearly represents the wants of car companies, big oil and a class of suburbanites that do not understand transportation theory and do not have the experience of living in downtown Toronto.
