The city's own historical…

The city's own historical data from the 2011 removal of bike lanes on Jarvis shows that removing bike lanes will result in:
- more accidents
- more fatalities
- increased costs for the city and province in healthcare, emergency and legal services
- longer commute times

This measure also sends a loud and clear signal to constituents: that the Ford and provincial government, and those that support this bill, do not care about the lives of residents. Removing the bike lanes will see more fatalities and injuries for anyone who rides a bike (children, youth, adults, seniors). 

The initial cost to remove bike lanes, and the subsequent cost to maintain roads, healthcare (as a result of increased pollution, and injuries), and legal fees (as a result of increased lawsuits) could be allocated to other measures that would better serve the province as a whole. 

What's striking to me on this bill is that it focuses so much cost on one city, while ignoring the rest of the province when money could be better spent serving the entire province that the provincial government was elected to do.

This means that not only does the government and the Bill 212 supporters not care about the lives of residents, they blatantly disrespect them and the faith the people put in them. This is irresponsible across many fronts.
