Ontario is heavily lacking…

Ontario is heavily lacking in its infrastructure for non-car transportation. The removal of bike lanes will further exacerbate this issue.

Biking would be the best mode of transportation for my daily commutes, as it's faster than walking or public transportation but more flexible than cars (especially for those who live in a single-car household). However, the lack of proper biking infrastructure around the GTA makes biking a less safe option.

Though few, the existing bike lanes are often unprotected, used for car parking , and inconsistent. Removing these lanes will not address these issues. Instead, it will force bikers to share lanes with cars, increasing the risk of accidents. Removing bike lanes means reducing the number of people using this mode of transportation, as we don't want to be maimed by the vehicles we are forced to share lanes with.

Even as a driver, the removal of these lanes is not beneficial. Moving bikers off their designated lanes and into driving lanes would only cause more accidents and traffic. Even making a road completely unbikeable will not resolve our traffic issues. Traffic is caused by too many cars on the road. Forcing more people to drive will create more traffic.

On roads without bike lanes, there is still traffic.

We can not keep scapegoating other modes of transportation in pursuit of a car-centered infrastructure. The removal of non-car infrastructure in the USA and other car-centric regions has led to a rise in car usage, traffic, and accidents. I do not believe it is wise for Ontario to blindly follow a path proven to be destructive.
We need to provide options for those who prefer not to drive so that drivers can use the roads more freely.
