I do not think it is the responsibility of the province to add and/or remove bike lanes. Bike lanes should be a municipal decision based on local needs rather than provincial needs.
The province should instead being encouraging municipal governments to have more sophisticated, effective, and safe bike lanes to open up more transportation options to Ontario residents. Having better bike lane infrastructure would encourage more residents to bike and reduce the amount of drivers on the road, which will help with traffic. Providing alternative modes of transportation should be the goal, not limiting everyone to one choice only. Making more highways or making highways with more lanes are just a bandaid solution to the traffic problem. Removing bike lanes will make the situation worse.
