Bill 212 couldn't be a further step backward for the province of Ontario and a decision that will reduce the quality of life in Canada's biggest city and across the province as we see the premier creating problems where they don't exist while not tackling the significant issues with major infrastructure projects that are required to reduce congestion. With the daily experienced effects of climate change, how can a premier suggest we design cities to have more cars on the road and that are not required and designed for future generations. Bike lanes save lives, they increase accessibility in cities for many residents, they allow you to get to work on time with the same commute time each day, and they make us healthier. Cars pollute, are extremely costly and kill. How can a government prioritize the latter? For myself and all cyclists who follow the rules of the road, create space for drivers on the road and in parking and who rely on safe routes to get to work, this bill will affect our day to day while taking major steps back for any sustainable progress towards a climate responsible future.
