Just let them take it out and see how much it impacts traffic and let the provincial government stew on those results at election time.

The problem is that we already know how it will impact traffic: it will get worse, a lot worse.

The real issue is what will he go after next? Sidewalks? Removing streetcar and bus priority lanes?

And when that fails? What comes after that?? Remove buildings? Stores?

This madness will only get worse, because the root cause of traffic congestion (people driving) isn't being addressed, and won't be with Ford calling the shots.

Not to mention we already spent tax dollars putting them in, why should we waste money ripping them out just to spend more sticking them in again under a new government?

Because when a new Government has to put them back in, this current Government's supporters can say "see, they're just wasting money!".

Literally creating a problem for someone else.

Because Ford needs you angry about bike lanes while he does his 413 land grab.

That's why bike lanes are in this bill: Ford doesn't care about them, they're just a hail-mary to distract for the other measures in the bill meant to get his highway-to-nowhere built and his developer buddies their ROI.
