I am strongly opposed to Bill 212. I am a driver, a cyclist and a Toronto resident. I rely on bike lanes to bike safely and efficiently. By choosing to cycle, I’m helping reduce congestion and pollution, making the city more livable for everyone. Removing bike lanes would force cyclists like myself onto busy streets, increasing the risk of accidents and potentially pushing us back into cars, which would only add to traffic and emissions.

Bike lanes on streets like Bloor-Danforth and University Ave have proven vital for safe commuting. Instead of taking them away, the Ontario government should be investing in more cycling infrastructure to support a healthier, greener, and less congested city.

Research shows that bike lanes *improve* congestion rather than making it worse, and Doug Ford is choosing to ignore that, and to ignore the safety of cyclists, in order to push his own agenda.

If you want to improve congestion, you need to focus on improving both cycling and transit infrastructure, not just trying to make it easier for inefficient vehicles.
