The draft Bill 212 is not based on evidence, as there are multiple studies in Canada and elsewhere that show that bike lanes and bike traffic in general reduce traffic congestion (see link to article below). All those bikers mean less cars in the road! In addition, bike lanes save lives, so removing them would result in an increased rate of fatalities involving cyclist.
As an Ontario taxpayer I am profoundly disappointed that my tax dollars are going to be spent removing bike lanes with a likely outcome of more traffic congestion and more cyclist deaths.
It is disappointing to see a theoretical 'small government' party enacting legislation that would allow the Ontario government to micromanage how cities develop their street planning.
Please stop this huge waste of taxpayers' money!
