I am writing to express my shock and disappointment at the decision to dismantle bike infrastructure across Ontario. This choice not only puts lives at risk but reflects a deeply troubling prioritization of culture wars and divisive rhetoric over the safety and well-being of Ontarians.

Bike infrastructure is not just for “cyclists” or “drivers”; it’s for all of us. The divisive framing that pits these groups against each other disregards the universal need for safe transportation options. As someone who lost a parent to an automobile accident at a young age, I know all too well the lasting impact these tragedies have on families and communities.

This is a step backward for Ontario. Dedicated bike lanes protect lives, support environmental goals, encourage healthier lifestyles, and boost our economy. Removing them prioritizes short-term political gain over the values and needs of our communities.

I am appalled that our government has taken this path, and I cannot support leadership that disregards the welfare of its citizens for divisive ends. I urge you to reverse this decision and show true commitment to the safety and cohesion of Ontario.
