A modified (removing identifying information) version of an email shared with my PC MPP asking them to not support this bill:

```
I know the PC government is committed to keeping Ontario moving, but I have strong concerns with the proposed changes to bike lane policy put forward in Bill 212. I live in the GTA (not Toronto) and regularly bike to work my municipality's city center. While uneven/damaged paths, dangerous drivers and construction can make this challenging, advantages like gas money savings, healthy exercise and the fact that it's just as fast make this a worthwhile option.

The Ford decision to rip out Toronto bike lanes impacts me here in the GTA. It is a poor use of my provincial tax dollars by being spent on a separate Municipality's infrastructure. While I do occasionally drive and bike in Toronto, the best science shows this will not improve drivetime by causing latent demand and forcing people who otherwise would have biked to take up more space in a car. But worst, the approvals needed by Bill 212 stops my municipality from being able to improve my commute by adding red tape.

As a constituent in your riding who would be harmed by Bill 212, I urge you to oppose this bill. Let's avoid wasteful spending and help keep the province moving by focusing our efforts on better options.
