Rename this the "Ontario Needs More Dead Cyclists and Traffic Causing Accidents Act"
Ontarians aren't stupid. Bike lanes aren't an issue. Stay in your (provincial) lane.
Illegally stopped cars, construction, poorly timed traffic lights and badly designed intersections are contributing more to traffic than bike lanes (which keep people out of traffic, freeing up roads for those who don't bike). Stop playing political games and wasting money. If you trust Ontarians and want to support our communities, put these funds towards municipal infrastructure and public transit spending.
Bike lanes ensure the safety of our community as people commute in a healthy and environmentally friendly way. Removing bike lanes won't remove cyclists, it will make the roads more dangerous, increasing the incidence of accidents and harming the health and safety of Ontario.
Additionally, I don't feel this would be an effective measure at stopping traffic. there anyways often disrupted with construction or have cars parked or stopped illegally. Currently at least these cars are stopping in bike lanes, which is not ideal, but it at least not obstructing traffic as much.
Instead of removing bike lanes, I request the Ontario government work on better maintaining the flow of traffic in the existing lanes first.
Finally, this is out of the jurisdiction of the provincial government. The provincial government should not be telling cities what works best for their downtown core. If the province would like to be involved in transit and infrastructure, please provide funding so we can have safe, separated bike lanes and measures put in place to keep traffic flowing.
