It is a travesty that the province is wasting time and tax dollars trying to set Ontario infrastructure back by removing people's freedom of choice in safe and healthy transportation. The province should be embracing bike lanes as it reduces our over reliance on car infrastructure and reduces gridlock as more options become available and people are able to transition to using bikes for more of their daily commutes. We need more protected bike lanes not less that allow people to link up with public transit.

I unfortunately live in a smaller city with no dedicated bike lanes and forced to either drive or risk my life by sharing the road with faster moving cars while on a bike. Us and our children should be allowed to live in an environment that encourages us to be physically active commuting with the reduced levels of pollution that comes with less cars on the road.

I urge the government to set higher standards so that we can try and work towards empowering the people of Ontario to have freedom of choice to bike and use public transit and one day catch up with some of our European brother's and sister's who are already able to enjoy those freedom's.
