Doug Ford's Bill 212,…

Doug Ford's Bill 212, proposing to remove bike lanes that occupy a lane of traffic, is a poor solution to gridlock. Traffic is caused by an overabundance of cars, not bikes, and removing bike lanes forces cyclists into unsafe conditions or back into cars, worsening congestion. Bike lanes encourage cycling, reduce car reliance, and create safer, more efficient streets. They also benefit small businesses by increasing foot and bike traffic to local shops. Instead of dismantling bike lanes, Ontario needs more public transit and cycling infrastructure to tackle gridlock effectively.
