I, an Ontario resident, strongly oppose Bill 212.
Promoting cycling is very important for the environment and public health. I do not wish to live in a province where our streets are designed for the comfort/convenance of people who chose to travel by car, while people who chose to consider the environment, their neighbours, and their own health are put at risk due to poor/nonexistent bike infrastructure.
It is a myth that more lanes for cars somehow reduces traffic congestion. The main cause of congestion is car dependency. While it may appear to increase vehicular traffic, adding bike lanes provides an alternative to car transportation by creating an additional transportation option thereby taking cars off of the road.
