I strongly oppose Bill 212.
As a resident of Toronto living in the Bloor/Bathurst area, I use the Bloor Street bike lanes every day. Now that they are finally finished, I feel safer riding my daily routes. Six cyclists have died in my area this year, 3 of whom would be alive if there had been bike lanes on their rout.
I vehemently oppose the removal of these bike lanes by Doug Ford. In yet another of his bullying power-grabs, he is ignoring years of careful planning and discussion by experts and indeed he is ignoring the will of the People of Toronto, who have voted in their city councillors to represent them in making decisions on just such matters as these. Yet again, the height of insecurity, Doug Ford is obsessed with Toronto and how he can micromanage it and sell it off by the pound, as he is doing with his shady deals at Ontario Place and the Science Centre.
If these bike lanes are removed, more people will die, at Doug Ford’s hand.
I will continue to use Bloor Street and University Avenue as my main cycling routes, as is my right, even though with bike lanes removed, it will jeopardize my safety. And I vow that if bike lanes are removed, I will occupy an entire lane of traffic to ensure my safety, regardless of the effect on “gridlock.”
Shame on the province and on Doug Ford.
