I am strongly opposed to Bill 212. Requiring municipal governments to seek provincial approval for bike lanes undermines local decision-making and stifles efforts to promote sustainable transportation. Protected bike lanes have been shown to encourage cycling, which can lead to fewer cars on the road and reduced congestion. Instead of hindering progress towards more bike-friendly communities, we should be empowering municipalities to create safe and accessible cycling infrastructure. Let's prioritize initiatives that support active transportation and reduce traffic congestion, rather than restricting them.
