Doug Ford's Bill 212, which seeks to remove bike lanes taking up one lane of traffic, misidentifies the root cause of gridlock—an excess of cars, not bikes. Bike lanes reduce congestion by encouraging cycling, which takes up less space than cars and enhances safety. Moreover, they support small businesses by attracting more foot traffic and local customers. Instead of eliminating bike lanes, Ontario should focus on expanding transit and cycling infrastructure to create a more efficient, sustainable, and less car-dependent transportation system.
