Resident from Mississauga: Thank you for addressing and with proposed Bill 212 putting a stop to municipalities wanting to reduce lanes on major roadways in order to allow for bike lanes. After travelling in Toronto and experiencing the ridiculous and aggravating delays on Bloor Street, St. Clair and University - what an awful reality for drivers. I now avoid any major roadway that has been lane reduced and has bike lanes because I can no longer allow myself to experience such stress. So much so that I avoid driving to Toronto now. And, here in Mississauga the city wants to do the same on Bloor Street where so many homes directly front onto Bloor. How is this safe for the residents/ property owners who need to back out of and drive into their homes onto a reduced major roadway? How is this safe for cyclists? How is this safe for drivers? Bike lanes belong on secondary road ways where there is far less vehicle traffic and more safety. Taking this step in Bill 212 is the a step in the right direction for everyone's safety. Thank you. You have our full support from me and my family. For this Bill and for the next election.
