I am appalled at the stance…

I am appalled at the stance of this government has taken towards bike lanes with this act. Time and again research has shown that bike lines only contribute to the reduction of traffic and increase the safety of cyclists.

I was proud of the new bike lanes that have been installed in my city. Congestion has not increased at all since the bike lanes were installed and in fact, in my experience, it has decreased.

The GTA is in a very unique position in Ontario, at the junction of many major highways. When there are accidents on these highways and the traffic inevitably spills onto the streets, it is only the bike lanes that provide residents the relief to get around safely and in a timely manner. Expanding these bike lanes would demonstrate to your constituents that you actually care for their safety and time.

I really hope you reconsider this piece of legislation and make an informed decision using research and data. Please show your constituents that you care more about them then anyone else.
