Not only does the decision…

Not only does the decision to remove bike lanes, but also prevent/strict their building in cities like Toronto is a terrible policy decision. Bike lanes not only increase safety for non-car travelers, but help alleviate traffic as well.

Congestion/gridlock/traffic is caused by cars, and the over-reliance on them. Funding and investing in car-alternatives such as bicycle lanes, PUBLIC TRANSIT, will be the most effective way to reduce traffic.

As both a car driver/car owner, public transit user, and cyclist as a family, I wholeheartedly do not support in anyway Bill 212.

Invest the government's time and money into public transit, holding the Eglinton-LRT cross town accountable, and Metrolinx accountable. You are WASTING tax payers money on ripping up bike lanes for political gain and will be the DIRECT cause of people dying and murdered from collision.

See the letter from the Ontario Society of Professional Engineers: https://ospe.on.ca/advocacy/response-to-bill-212-why-we-need-to-rethink…

Additionally, aside from the policies on bike lanes, it is quite clear that Bill 212 is a method for the current provincial government to "exclude highway 413’s environmental impact process and assessment." - If this is Bill is about bike lanes, why does it include legislation regarding Highway 413.

Again as a car driver, transit user, and cyclist, I DO NOT in anyway support the building of Highway 413.
