I’m writing to you because I strongly oppose the proposal for Bill 212 (ERO number 019-9266).

Studies have shown that adding extra lanes does not improve traffic. Two lane roads in Toronto tend to be full of parked or stopped cars anyway. Bike lanes make the city safer for everyone and reduce traffic deaths.

I don't drive, I don't want to drive, and most people I know who live in downtown Toronto also don't own cars. Plenty of non-drivers live here and we deserve to get around safely too. I bike around most of the year, even during the winter when the bike lanes are clear.

Please don't waste our tax payer dollars to tear up existing bike lanes. Please, let the mayor voted in by the city of Toronto decide what happens to Toronto roads. The provincial government is not the municipal government.
