I'm vehemently opposed to Bill 212. I believe removing bike lanes will only make gridlock worse by forcing people who would commute by bike to instead take their car, since it's left as their only option. Bike lanes help clear congestion on sidewalks, prevent accidents, and give right of way for bikes to move efficiently. The Province of Ontario should instead look to FUND and ENCOURAGE more public transit so people who would drive could instead take efficient, reliable, and safe public transit options to get to their destination. This is a real solution to reducing gridlock rather than a band-aid solution as Doug Ford's government is proposing with Bill 212. To reiterate, objectively this is a poorly thought out bill and will only make gridlock continue to get worse into the future.
