I am against Bill 212, as it…

I am against Bill 212, as it takes a short-sighted approach to transportation by prioritizing cars at the expense of sustainable, active transportation options like bike lanes. I am a frequent cyclist, and as someone expecting a child, I want to raise them in a community that prioritizes safety, health, and the environment. This bill risks taking us backward by limiting access to bike lanes and reinforcing car dependency, which has already shown negative impacts on traffic, air quality, and overall livability. Bike lanes reduce gridlock by giving people safer options to commute without cars, helping reduce pollution and congestion.

By making bike lanes a politically divisive issue, Bill 212 ignores their proven benefits: fewer cars on the road, safer streets, and a healthier environment for all of us. Let's focus on building a balanced and forward-thinking transportation system that prioritizes people over cars and ensures a sustainable future for our kids.
