The province is utterly…

The province is utterly misguided in its attempt to take control of the addition/removal process of bike lanes in the city of Toronto. As a person who regularly commutes by bicycle in the city, I depend on streets with bike lanes to make sure I can get to my destination safely. The province would be better off investing time and money on cracking down on the thousands of motor vehicles who drive unsafely in the city, speeding through neighbourhoods and turning at intersections when it's not their turn—among other things.

As well, bike lanes don't impede traffic flow, they improve it. The places where bikes get in the way of vehicle traffic the most is on routes that don't have bike lanes and cyclists are forced to travel among the motored vehicles. The removal of these lanes will likely lead to more traffic injuries/deaths of cyclists. If the city needs more lanes of traffic, maybe consider getting rid of on-street parking on roads such as St. Clair, where traffic is typically very congested.

The province should be dealing with other more important things and leave city matters in the hands of the people who run the city.
