Regarding Bill 212, I urge the removal of Schedule 3 and Schedule 4.

I urge the removal of schedule 3 from Bill 212, as the environmental assessments completed for Highway 413 are of critical importance to protecting the many habitats of the Greenbelt. Furthermore, these areas is the headwaters of thousands of people's drinking water, and a lack of environmental assessment puts their drinking water and hence their health in jeopardy.

As for schedule 4, the power to remove bike lanes is a question truly of life and death for the bike commuters of Toronto. Many Toronto bicyclists will bike regardless of lanes, but their removal will put the many cyclists at risk of collision and death on their daily commute. Giving cyclists their own lane protects both cyclists and drivers from the risk of collision.
