Hello,
I live in the City of Toronto and I get around the city on my bike. Bike lanes allow me to do this safely.
Bill 60 strips cities of local authority and decision-making, even when projects are supported by evidence and local residents. It will worsen traffic congestion, not reduce it. The government’s own experts have consistently said that bike lanes are not a cause of gridlock. It will make roads more dangerous. Protected bike lanes prevent serious injuries and deaths for people biking, walking, and driving. It threatens other uses of road space that communities rely on, including transit priority, safe crossings, patios, curbside access, and school streets. It undermines climate goals and public health by locking cities into car-dependent street designs.
For these reasons, I urge you NOT to pass Bill 60 in its current form.
