I am strongly against bill 212. The bill is an attempt to remove and prevent new infrastructure that has been shown to be effective in Toronto. Cycling is a growing mode of transportation, recreation and profession in Toronto. Many food app delivery services use bicycles and e-bikes. The removal of the Jarvis Bike lane shows that removing bike lines is not just ineffective, it actually worsens congestion and travel time. When the premier and minister of transportation talk about low usage, they look like fools. Of course the usage is low relative to motor vehicles, they have huge networks of roads. Bikes have much fewer options (some of which are still being completed) and many people still feel unsafe when using unprotected lanes. As our city's cycling infrastructure grows, the value of our existing infrastructure increases. People don't want to have to use a busy unprotected street just to get to the safer paths.
