I do not support this bill. I am both a car and bicycle user and have an appreciation for the balance needed among modes of transportation. To date in 2020 I've used a bicycle to travel more than 1,600 km for the purpose of commuting, and more than 5,500 when including leisure and fitness activities, most of which necessitate a significant amount of time in bike lanes. The availability of bicycle lanes determines where folks can reasonably live. With a housing crisis and without reliable transit, having safe active transportation options provides more choices for Ontarians. Passing legislation which increases the time and capital required to implement more equitable means of transit across the province is not in the interest of all present and future Ontarians.
