As both a driver and a cyclist, I navigate the city using various modes of transportation. When possible, I choose to bike, which has significantly reduced my emissions and costs while providing an efficient means of travel. The expansion of bike lanes throughout the city has enabled me to use my bicycle more frequently, contributing to decreased traffic congestion and lower CO2 emissions.

However, in areas lacking designated bike lanes, I do not feel safe cycling, which necessitates increased reliance on my vehicle. Therefore, I urge the government to reevaluate the proposed legislation and consider allowing local communities to determine the most effective transportation solutions for their neighborhoods.

Traffic congestion on the Ontario 400 series highways has significantly affected my experiences, often resulting in prolonged periods of idling with no bike lanes in sight. Improving travel between cities in Ontario could alleviate major inconveniences for drivers. Minor issues such as traffic congestion around bike lanes in areas where people live, work, and shop would be a negligible trade-off for all of the benefit's they offer the local community.
