Mr Premier, I'm very disappointed in the proposal of Bill 212 that will serve to add red tape and unnecessary bureaucracy to the approval of bike lanes in Ontario. This bill will do nothing to 'reduce congestion'. There is no real data to support the idea that bike lanes add to gridlock. If anything, it's the opposite: the more safe, reliable options you give people to get around the city, the less that people feel obligated to drive, and therefore the number of cars on the road is reduced. The citizens Ontario do not want their tax dollars spent in such an inefficient and harmful way. It is money that could be used to improve healthcare, public schooling, and, most relevantly, public transport.
