Comment
I am NOT in favour of Bill 212 for the following reasons
- Bike lanes are best designed by local governments (ie cities) that are closer to the needs of the users, not at the Provincial level
- Removing existing bike lanes is a large waste of taxpayer money already spent plus the additional cost to revert back to car lanes.
- The nature of transportation in Toronto city core is moving towards electrified small pseudo-vehicles (eg e-bikes, e-scooters). This trend will continue into the future as it is more efficient and popular. It must be supported by dedicated lanes
- Rapid growth of Bike Share ridership is a form of voting by the people of Toronto and should not be ignored.
This proposal would take multi-mode transportation backwards just at the time the populations of large cities are increasingly embracing bike lanes
