As an Ontarian and Torontonian I am in opposition to Bill 212. Bike lanes in Toronto are a necessary means of alternate transportation. Not everyone has the means or desire to move via vehicle and they should not be the only priority on the road. If the aim is to reduce commuting time, fewer cars not less variety has been shown to be the most effective. Bike lanes are also necessary to protect cyclists whose safety is paramount. Additionally, emissions from cars have significant negative impacts on human health via air quality and climate change.
Finally, I am disheartened to see the province taking further steps to control cities where the population has voted in councilors and mayors to make the decisions within our borders.
