Hello
I am now retired but throughout my 45 career, I biked to work unless the weather was terrible. Even though I own a vehicle, I still do a lot of my trips in my area by bicycle. I have even joined Bike Share after having a bike stolen a couple years ago. I beleive the bike lanes encourage biking and make the streets safer for bicycles. I always try to search out the bike lanes when travelling by bicycle. I appreciate the effort the city makes to expand the network of bike lanes and the thought that goes in to their location.

I do not think that eliminating the bike lanes will improve traffic. I see so many single occupant vehicles on the streets. I think that Bill 212 is a huge overreach by the Provincial government. Even if it's a popular move, it is not the right thing to do. It's a waste of tax payers money and a step. backward. It will put Toronto out of sync with progressive cities around the world.

I do NOT support this Bill and would like to see it withdrawn.
Thank you
