This letter is to express my stern opposition to Bill 212 - Reducing Gridlock, Saving You Time Act 2024.
By my understanding, the Province has much larger things that need their attention like Health Care and Education!
Bicycles are an inexpensive, clean, efficient, and healthy way for people to get around in Toronto.
Most vehicles in Toronto appear to transport a single person; so inefficient! Not everyone has access to a car but if someone wants to drive along Bloor Street, from Yonge street to Christie Street, or any other route with bike lanes in Toronto, they should simply be prepared to encounter normal delays in busy areas. That's what Cities are, busy!
Bike lanes, like the TTC, allow more options for people to get from place to place in the City.
I am a driver and I do not ride a bike. I understand the value of bikes and bike lanes in the context of getting around Toronto, making our streets safer, and more accessible and ecologically responsible. Please do not allow the removal of any bike lanes in this City.
People will continue to ride bikes along City streets. Let's be sure they're safe doing so.
Let our City decide where, when and how our traffic parameters should be massaged, not the Province.
