Dear Premier Doug Ford,

I strongly oppose Bill 212 - this act will NOT save time - bikes alleviate gridlock, and save lives. By removing bike lanes, my life will be at risk.

Bike lanes are an integral part of a healthy city. I can go on and on about all the benefits that we already know about, and all the risks it poses... so let's talk about how this would simply be a very poor use of public funds.

There are people in this city who cannot afford to eat, to have shelter, long wait times for hospitals... and we are using public funds to put in bike lanes, only to rip them up less than 5 years later (in some cases, less than 1 year later - see University Ave bike lanes). Our government needs to be fiscally responsible and reasonable. Please let this be a municipal matter.

Please consider NOT removing these bike lanes as it will strongly impact my day to day well-being, amongst the other thousands of cyclists in this city.

Sincerely,
Toronto Resident.
