As an avid cyclist in the city of Toronto for close to 25 years now I can say that the current state of our bike lane system is the best and safest feeling its ever been since I started cycling. Removing them would only create more delays in traffic not only for the time it would take to remove them but then further congestion as cyclists would have to share a lane of traffic with motorized vehicles. I don’t see how this would reduce the overall congestion of the city’s traffic as it seems to me construction is the main purveyor of taking up lanes for motorized vehicles and creating pinch points for all forms of traffic. Overall as a tax payer in the city of Toronto and the province of Ontario I see this as a colossal waste of our collective money and strongly urge the provincial government to reconsider its stance and also to keep out of what in my opinion are municipal affairs. Thank you for your time.
