It is inappropriate for the Ontario Government to micromanage the city of Toronto, which is larger than several provinces in Canada. The city council which represents small sections of the city is a better judge of what the city's needs are. The bike lanes in question are near two universities filled with students who use bicycles for transportation because not only can they not afford a car, there is no place to park. There are over 60,000 students at the University of Toronto ( the largest in Canada) and almost 50,000 at TMU. Public transportation is too slow and doesn't take them where they have to travel within the campuses. It would be dangerous for them to try to travel in the same lanes as cars.
If the Province does this against the wishes of the City, the Province should pay the costs. This is money that could be better spent on healthcare or feeding hungry people in the city.
