I oppose the passage of this law.

It is important to encourage all alternatives to driving in Ontario communities for many reasons, including: more biking means fewer cars on the road; better bike infrastructure keeps people safe; some people (youth, the elderly) cannot drive and should have a safe way to get around (i.e. separated bike lanes); the cost of car ownership is high and getting higher - sometimes a bike is the only option; it's a healthy and environmentally friendly way to get around.

Taking out bike lanes would be a waste of money and a real step backward for the people of this province. Please reconsider this course of action.
