I don’t agree at all with this proposed legislation. I walk down Bloor Street everyday and I see the bike lanes in use. They make it safer for cyclists to get around without being seriously injured or killed by drivers. Why do you as a government care only for drivers? Shouldn’t human life be prioritized over convenience for drivers?
Furthermore, I have read the evidence that says that bike lanes actually increase sales in local businesses, not hurt them as you claim (CBC News, 2024). The evidence also shows that bike lanes actually reduce congestion. So, removing bike lanes to add more car lanes is not the solution to congestion. Why not focus more on improving public transportation? Additionally, the money spent removing the bike lanes would be an egregious waste. Why are you prioritizing spending government money on undoing infrastructure instead of focusing on health care, education, or housing (all issues that are severely underfunded)? I ask you to reconsider and remove this legislation before it leads to serious injury or death for Ontario citizens.
