1. Removing existing bike…

1. Removing existing bike lanes against the will of the municipalities in which those bike lanes are present is an abrogation of the democratic will of those cities, seemingly targeting Toronto in particular out of sheer spite.
2. Forcing bicycles and automobiles into the same lanes will not improve the safety of either, as the deteriorating quality of driver skill and situational awareness will soon force both bicyclists and pedestrians to take greater measures to defend themselves. Drivers already don't respect the 1-meter rule.
3. Removing existing bike lanes in Toronto will, based on observable rates of road construction progress, take longer than the Ford government will be in power, so even at a purely political level this will actually associate Ford with *less* road access for automobiles.
4. It will not, in reality, improve transit times in Toronto one iota, and will most likely do the opposite.
