I live in midtown Toronto and regularly use the Yonge St. bike lanes to commute to work. The bike lane on Yonge Street makes it safe to commute by bicycle.
Bill 212 is a step back. Yonge St. was selected for a bike lane after extensive consultations within the city. There are very limited options for lane installation North-South and Yonge is the best of the available options. Mount Pleasant has become a commuting corridor and most commuters traveling by car prefer Mount Pleasant over Yonge.
Yonge should remain a main street and not a highway. The bike lanes should remain installed.
More fundamentally, the province should stay in its own lane and worry about matters that are within its jurisdiction, such as getting the long-overdue LRT running.
