I see this bill addendum as a horrible decision and a backwards step for the province to be taking. The bike lanes on Bloor and University are essential infrastructure that I use daily and their removal would put the basic safety of cyclists at risk.

The removal of these well used, protected bike lanes would be a huge waste of taxpayer money and would not result in a reduction of gridlock as proposed by the bill. When there are more lanes of traffic, more cars flock to those roads and the gridlock persists. Alternative travel options, such as biking and public transit, are the answer to traffic reduction - not the removal of those options.

The proposed provincial approval process for future and current bike lanes would add unnecessary red tape and bureaucracy to a municipal matter that shouldn't have provincial resources allocated to it. It would also slow down local governments trying to implement alternative travel options.
