Hello:

I am flummoxed that the provincial government has proposed legislation contrary to evidenced- based data regarding bike lanes. Please look at the scientific data which consistently demonstrates that travelling by bike results in less traffic congestion, safer commutes for cyclists and reduced green house gas emissions. Anecdotal data from irate drivers who live in Etobicoke should not be the basis for any proposed legislation. The current framework for bike lanes legislation is simply an uninformed and reactive approach to a very complex situation. Please consult with the experts in transportation and environmental sciences to develop measured and proactive legislation.

Thank you very much.
