Comment
I moved back to Ontario (the province I was born in) in 2020 after living many years in Quebec. I was pleased to find out that London Ontario (the city I moved to) was installing bike lanes and improving their infrastructure. I do not own a car and my primary mode of transportation is bicycle throughout the year. There is a bike lane on my street and I have seen the volume of people using it grow significantly over the years, particularly as the price of gas has risen. I love the cycling community and culture that I am a part of.
This is a frustrating and demoralizing bill to anyone who is interested in encouraging health in citizens of all ages, independence in young people, and reducing reliance on fossil fuels. I recognize there is a learning curve for cars and bike lanes to coexist but this bill is unbelievably regressive, selfish and ill-advised.
This bill has me seriously reconsidering whether I want to continue to live in Ontario.
