Cycling has been my main means of getting around the city, and removing bike lanes is essentially completely cutting off my ability to do so safely. To cycle around the city safely, it requires time and effort to plan what route to take, and when best to cycle to have the least interaction with cars.
In its current state, there are still NOT enough connected cycling paths to get around the city safely, but in the past year, it has improved significantly with the implementation of additional and more robust bike lanes. Knowing these bike lanes exists provides more confidence to us cyclists, made travel time more predictable and less planning effort is needed.
Bill 212 is effectively sidelining an entire population who do not drive, whether it’s because they do not know how to drive or that they do not have access to a car. The bill is not saving time for me or anyone relying on cycling to get around.
