I am vehemently opposed Bill 212 or any other measure that would reduce or restrict the number of dedicated bike lanes in Ontario. If the government wants to tackle the issue of traffic gridlock or congestion, start with the facts. Look at any congested street in the province and you’ll see a full 67% of vehicles have a single occupant. THIS IS WHERE CONGESTION COMES FROM. Want to end congestion? Encourage motorists to take one other passenger.

Encouraging cycling is part of the solution for ending traffic congestion. However to encourage cyclists you have to make is safe for them. Here in Ottawa we have worked for decades to encourage cyclists and it’s paid off. We have doubled the number of people who commute by bicycle in the past decade. We have worked too hard to see this progress reversed - NO TO Bill 212.
