Comment
At its November 19, 2024 Meeting, Town of Parry Sound Council passed attached Resolution 2024 - 189 which objects to aspects of Bill 212 which would enable provincial approval for new bike lanes on municipal roads requiring removal of a traffic lane; and for existing ones, where a traffic lane was removed.
Parry Sound Council believes that municipalities are best positioned within legislated guidelines and regulations for determining road design in their communities, and that requiring provincial approval regarding bike lanes adds an unnecessary and wasteful bureaucratic and financial burden to the process of road design.
In addition, Parry Sound Council puts forward the Ontario Medical Association's policy paper entitled Enhancing Cycling Safety in Ontario, which identifies the benefits of bicycling.
Thank you for this opportunity to comment.
