There are so many reasons to keep building bike lanes and this bill absolutely should not be put through!
1. Reduction of traffic: especially with people and public service returning to work, traffic is getting out of hand. More people commuting by bike to work means less traffic!
2. Safety: I personally have been hit by cars twice and injured in Toronto due to a lack of bike lanes and irresponsible driving. There has been an increase in deaths of cyclists even here in Ottawa. The lives and safety of our people depend on bike lanes being put in place.
3. Even with bike lanes installed, this wouldn’t be enough width on a road to add another car lane, so I don’t see a reason for this ban!
4. Climate change is getting worse and an increasingly worrying rate. It would be so backwards to put more people in cars and less people on bikes. We need to take preventative measures to change the way we are living and protect people and our planet!
5. Canada is already so far behind other countries in the world with regards to innovation, progress, quality of living, and climate solutions. Don’t put us back farther by putting this bill in place.
