I am very concerned that bike lanes are going to be restricted by a law without input from the municipalities which have the eyes, ears and knowledge to make those decisions.
I enjoy the freedom to move around the city without the fear of putting my life and my fellow bike riders' lives at risk when in a designated bike lane. Bike lanes have been shown to protect us in many jurisdictions. Ontarians need more options to get around, not fewer
Research repeatedly has shown that wider roads make congestion worse. At other non-rush hour times, they encourage drivers to drive faster, putting pedestrians and bike riders at more risk.
We need to dramatically reduce carbon emissions and air pollution. Encouraging people to bike is an important part of this reduction.
Removing bike lanes is a waste of taxpayers money, and businesses will also suffer from reduced slow neighbourly traffic
