No. Just no. It is wrong for…

No. Just no.

It is wrong for the premier to force his personal vendetta on Toronto (time and again) like being proposed in bill 212, even more so when doing it using outdated if not flawed info, such as the bike lanes' utilization rates, and while forcing Toronto to foot the bill. It is as if the province is waging a war on its largest city that is also the country's largest.

It is not in anyone's interest to force more work to undo work already done, emitting more carbon while at it, about a construct (bike lanes) that should be part of a comprehensive lower carbon infrastructure scheme. Only if the province doesn't care at all about emissions and climate change and have no intention to meet any carbon emissions objectives.

Removing bicycle lanes force cyclists into either vehicle lanes and be run over, or into sidewalks and knock pedestrians over and/or eat tickets. Cyclists will feel out of place in either case and deprived of a viable zero emission transportation mode for no good reason and no good alternative.

Returning a bicycle lane to motor vehicle traffic is the same as adding a motor vehicle lane, and countless research has shown will only induce more driving and more gridlock.
