I'm both a driver and a cyclist in Ottawa, and I can definitely say that I disagree with the premise of this bill. Yes, traffic congestion is awful, but removing bike lanes will not fix traffic congestion. Ontario needs to get cars off the road, and getting more people out of cars and on to other modes of transit like cycling or public transit is a much more effective method of then ripping up bike lanes and replacing them with more car lanes. It does not need to add more red tape to these projects for municipalities

If you remove bike lanes, you force people like me into cars, and this will just worsen traffic congestion. The tax dollars used to rip up bike lanes would better be spent on improving cycling and public transit, and it's incredibly frustrating to see the government trying to adopt a regressive, fiscally irresponsible policy towards transportation.
