We are fully supportive of Bill 212 and commend our Province for taking the necessary leadership regarding this issue. We have witnessed firsthand how the introduction of intrusive bike lanes on Bloor St W have negatively impacted not only the vehicle flow in this area, but also the connected neighbourhood roads that are subjected to traffic overflow. This idea of considering the impact on vehicular traffic of new bike lanes is not only common sense not evidenced by the non-sensical decisions of Toronto, but IS in fact environmentally advantageous by minimizing the amount of traffic idle time. Tight roads with extensive retail and an underused subway line are not the place to construct new bike lanes used by few and usable only seasonally.
