As far as I can tell the proposal to remove bike lanes is ideological, as the Government has yet to provide research or evidence on which it has based its decision. Notably, removing bike lanes will increase gridlock because people who now bike to work will be unable to continue doing so safely, and so will choose to drive instead. Additionally, this is a fiscally irresponsibly decision as it will cost money to remove bike lanes that cost money to put in only a few years ago, some much more recently. And, also irresponsibly, during the lengthy construction process of removing bike lanes gridlock will become even worse and more unbearable. This is also a fiscally irresponsible decision in that in being forced to drive more and take public transit, the Government is forcing Ontarians to spend money we don’t have (it seems to have gone unnoticed by this tone deaf and out of touch Government that biking is free). Lastly, this proposal is unethical and immoral because it risks lives.
