This proposal is absurd. To fix the issues with traffic in the city, we need more alternative transportation options that are safe and reliable. Bike lane infrastructure is an obviously great way to provide people a safe lane to use so they can bike to work and not have to drive. I drive to work previously, and with the addition of the university ave and bloor st protected bike infrastructure, I can now bike to work without being scared for my safety. If these lanes were removed (which is silly considering they are excellent infrastructure that were very recently installed) I would be forced to return to driving, adding additional commuter traffic. Bike lanes are a part of the solution, not the problem at hand.

What the provincial government should be focusing on, is getting Metrolinx in order to complete the larger transportation infrastrucure projects done within a reasonable timeframe and budget. There are multiple billion dollar plus projects that face undue delays, and the time lag of getting the LRT lines online is an actual problem that results in more people driving day to day.

Removing the bike lanes would be a uneconomical disaster, please be sensible.
