I strongly oppose Bill 212. Now more than ever we need bike lanes. Removal of bike lanes won't decrease the number of cyclists on the road. It will only force cyclists into shared roads with vehicles, which would likely in turn lead to more congestion and more dangerous conditions for all parties.

At a time when emissions need to decrease, the provincial government should actively promote active transportation rather than encouraging more people to drive.

"In 2023, emissions from transportation increased 4.7% from 19.1 MtCO2eq to 20.0 MtCO2eq and have nearly returned to pre-pandemic levels (The Atmospheric Fund 2024. 2023 Carbon Emissions Inventory for the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area)."
