Bill 212 does NOT outline how the removal of safe biking infrastructure will address the chronic issue of distracted driving AND distracted passengers by fellow road users in: cars / SUVs / trucks.
Distracted vehicle users (drivers and their exiting passengers) are responsible for countless deaths and serious / life-altering injuries annually yet this very real issue isn't being addressed.
From personal experience of this when riding westbound on a Toronto road in clear weather + road conditions in late morning (ie the sun was NOT in their eyes), I only wish that the intersection I needed to get to for a work-related journey had a protected bike lane or infrastructure to complete my journey. Very hard to miss seeing a large bright yellow bike w/large basket but they did!
