Bikes lanes are essential to thousands of commuters every single day. As someone who lives right off Bloor St W I see how many bikes are used every day - even in November! Removing the bike lanes is a mistake. It would not solve congestion only lead to more traffic & unsafe conditions for all who use our roads. Removing and limiting bike lanes should be enough to end this bill, but the true problems with this bill are deeper than they seem. Removing environmental protections and surveying before building highways is a mistake. The Greenbelt & our wildlife should be protected. I am deeply saddened by the state of our provincial government if these are the sort of bills being passed with priority while thousands of Ontarians suffer without adequate healthcare, education is suffering, & the housing crisis is not being addressed. Please stop spending money & time on removing bike lanes & removing environmental protections.
