Here’s a comment draft for Bill 212 regarding the proposed removal of bike lanes:
Comment on Bill 212: Opposition to the Removal of Bike Lanes
I strongly oppose the removal of bike lanes in Toronto under Bill 212. These lanes are essential for residents' health, safety, and financial well-being. Bike lanes encourage physical activity, which improves public health and lowers healthcare costs by promoting a more active lifestyle. They also make Toronto’s streets safer for cyclists and pedestrians by reducing collisions and creating a predictable flow of traffic.
Additionally, bike lanes allow residents to avoid the high costs of car ownership, from gas to maintenance and insurance. With a bike, I can sustainably manage my finances, living within my means without relying on a car. Removing bike lanes limits these choices and pushes more people into vehicle dependency, which is neither financially nor environmentally sustainable.
Please reconsider removing these critical resources that contribute to a healthier, safer, and more affordable Toronto.
