I am writing to express my strong support for the continued existence and potential expansion of bike lanes in Ontario. While I understand that the government has many pressing priorities, I believe that investing in cycling infrastructure is a crucial step towards building healthier, more sustainable, and equitable communities.
While I acknowledge the importance of addressing issues such as public transit, healthcare, and the cost of living, I believe that these challenges are interconnected with the need for improved cycling infrastructure. By promoting cycling, we can reduce traffic congestion, improve air quality, and encourage healthier lifestyles.
Over the past five years, I have significantly increased my reliance on cycling for transportation. From commuting to work to running errands, I have found bike lanes to be invaluable in ensuring my safety and convenience. The dedicated lanes not only provide a safer environment for cyclists but also contribute to a more efficient transportation system.
I am concerned about the potential negative consequences of removing bike lanes. Such a decision would not only discourage cycling but could also lead to increased traffic congestion, air pollution, and safety risks for vulnerable road users. Instead, I urge the government to consider expanding bike lane networks to accommodate the growing number of cyclists and to encourage even more people to adopt this sustainable mode of transportation.
I believe that investing in cycling infrastructure is a long-term investment in the health and well-being of our communities. By prioritizing bike lanes, we can create a more livable, sustainable, and equitable province for all.
Thank you for your attention to this important matter.
Sincerely,
