I strongly oppose Bill 212. I ride my bike every single day and use it as my primary mode of transportation. I don't own a car, nor do I ever take taxis or ubers. Whenever I travel places, my transportation choices literally mean 1 less car on the road contributing to the congestion this Bill claims to be trying to solve.

There have been many great improvements throughout the Province of Ontario in the realm of cycling infrastructure in the last decade. Bill 212 would be a massive step in the wrong direction. Having interacted with city officials, I'm aware that they already encounter many challenges when attempting to roll out safe cycling infrastructure. Bill 212 would introduce significant additional challenges and restrictions making it even more difficult and slower to make our roads safer. This is not an initiative that we can afford to drag our feet on, when our unsafe roads contribute to so many deaths across Ontario every year.

The notion that removing bike lanes would solve congestion is absolutely ridiculous and not grounded in evidence or data.
