It has been shown time and time again that simply adding lanes does not in any way alleviate traffic in already congested areas. In fact, many cities in the US are undergoing a "de-highway" movement, where they are consciously restricting the amount of motor traffic traveling through their city cores. For the Ontario government to propose such a backwards act that hinders the development of safe and environmentally friendly bike infrastructure, and further wastes time *removing* existing bike lanes, is utterly ridiculous.

If the government has time, why not consider removing street parking in favour of multi-storey parking garages? Or retrofitting existing parking places with solar panels to make a push for green energy? Or speeding up the construction and expansion of transit networks?
