I DO NOT SUPPORT BILL 212.
Bike lanes offer numerous benefits to both cyclists and the wider community. They provide a safe and dedicated space for cyclists to travel, reducing the risk of accidents and injuries. Additionally, they encourage more people to cycle, which can lead to improved health and reduced traffic congestion. Bike lanes also promote sustainability by reducing carbon emissions and promoting a more eco-friendly mode of transportation.
Over the past few years, safe and protected bike lane networks have become increasingly popular in cities around the world. Many cities have recognized the benefits of them and have implemented them as part of their transportation infrastructure. In some cases, entire networks of bike lanes have been created, connecting different parts of the city and making it easier for cyclists to get around such as in many cities in Europe including Amsterdam and Paris. The growth of bike networks is a positive sign for the future of transportation and what the Government of Ontario is proposing runs contrary to the wisdom accumulated by the rest of the world.
Bike lanes are safe. Bike lanes increase business activity. Bike lanes reduce congestion.
