I oppose Bill 212. Making it…

I oppose Bill 212. Making it harder to implement bike lanes is absolutely CONTRARY to evidence, research, facts, and the professional expertise of the transportation planning/engineering industry. If people are not on bikes then should they be in more cars causing more gridlock? Also through this, the province is having no regard for the municipality - municipalities know what’s best for local transportation systems and the business of bike lanes should be left to them. Also the bike lane portion of the bill is masking more expedited processes for highway 413, and I also oppose highway 413 because it will cause more people to drive and more congestion, and is an unnecessary negative impact to the environment/greenbelt. Bill 212 should NOT BE APPROVED. GREATER EFFORTS SHOULD BE PUT TOWARDS THE ONGOING TRANSIT PROJECTS THAT CAN MOVE MORE PEOPLE THAN CAR LANES, OR ALTERNATIVE MODES LIKE BIKE AND WALK. THIS BILL IS NOT EVIDENCE BASED.
