Dear Premier Ford,

I would like to express my dismay about Bill 212. This widely unpopular proposed legislation would be an extreme overreach into municipal jurisdiction. It goes against science, which overwhelmingly shows bike lines in fact reduce traffic, not cause it (1,2).

If Bill 212 is passed, there will be more traffic and congestion in the years to come because you get more of what you build for (1). In addition, more cyclists will die (3).

It is not too late to listen to the people of Ontario, who are calling on you to do the right thing and repeal this proposed bill.

Thank you.
