Our provincial government…

Our provincial government should not be adding red tape and bureaucracy that will slow down efforts by local governments to make changes desired by their voters. If locals want more transportation options in their area, the province shouldn't be getting in the way. This bill proposes changes that would reduce our freedom of choice, putting further pressure for people to use cars as their exclusive means of transportation and commuting.

Bikes are an essential component of our transportation infrastructure that helps reduce road traffic while being cheaper to implements and maintain. They help connect other transit options by making trains and buses more accessible, without requiring massive carparks. It's a great option that supports safe, family friendly communities and improves the riders physical health. The main roadblock to increasing ridership is the fact that we don't have very much bike infrastructure. Incomparably less than car infrastructure. This bill to further restrict the already lacking bike infrastructure will have an effect opposite to it's stated goal. Remove bikes will increase gridlock and waste time. On top of that, it will cost tax payers to rip up existing bike infrastructure, in some cases replacing it with expensive car infrastructure.

Say NO to Bill 212.
