I am very against this.

I support the Ontario Society of Professional Engineers' response to Bill 212.
Specifically, the safety issue is a large concern of mine. Ontario, like many other regions, has seen tragic incidents involving vulnerable road users — particularly cyclists. Just this year, six cyclists were killed on Toronto’s streets.

Ontario should not be limiting municipalities - Instead of restricting municipalities’ ability to install bike lanes, we should empower them to make decisions that reflect the realities of their communities. Each city should be able to create a transportation strategy that prioritizes safety, sustainability, and accessibility for everyone — not just motorists.

The proposed legislation is counter-intuitive and would undo years of non-partisan work to build a bike-lane network within the city of Toronto that protects cyclists throughout the city.
