Bill 212 will not reduce…

Bill 212 will not reduce gridlock. This is a highly political move to galvanize and anger a suburban base. Mean while people who do bike (which to be very clear, does NOT impact car traffic times) will be put in more danger from bike lanes that are removed.
Last week I was chased by a driver of a pick up truck for biking down a road like I have my whole life.
I was scared for my life.

These are direct outcomes of Premier Doug Ford's rhetoric.

So, in addition to making gridlock WORSE (I'm sure whoever reads these knows what induced demand is), residents of Ontario will be injured, and at worse, lose their lives commuting by bicycle.

This is not even to mention the evasion of required environmental assessments for highways.
This disgusts me to my core. To destroy the land that we will very much need in the next 50 years for farmland, for a highway that (once again) will not result in less gridlock.

Robert Moses in 1940's New York kept building and building highways, and destroying everything else.
I fear history is repeating itself.

I stand so strongly against Bill 212 it's hard to put into words. Not just because of the obvious corruption of the proposed highways, nor the obvious political points removing bike lanes in Toronto scores in the suburbs, but because of the obvious intense health detriments to all in Ontario.

I weep for the future of our province and it's people.
