As a commuter who bikes to work from the east end to Union station via the Danforth/Bloor bike lanes, I wholeheartedly disagree with this proposal. It is extremely short sighted and a step backwards from an environmental standpoint to think that removing bike lanes will reduce traffic congestion. Instead of biking, what will all those cyclists then do? They won't all be walking, I can assure you of that. Either adding to the overcrowded transit system, or to the overcrowded roads in cars. Or biking in the roads without a bike lane but endangering their lives, with possible accidents adding to traffic slowdowns. And what about all the Uber eats and other food delivery ebikes? While I have separate thoughts on ebikes in general, they help to support our economy and move food throughout the city without a car.

I am extremely disappointed with this proposal. Stay out of it - provincial government shouldn't be poking it's nose here where it doesn't belong.
