I'm writing to strongly oppose Bill 212, and the Premier's recently stated intention to remove existing bike lanes in Toronto.
As someone who drives and cycles, splitting my time between downtown Toronto and the Newmarket area, it is clear to me that restricting bike lanes and destroying existing cycling infrastructure will absolutely make problems of congestion and safety worse.
The only way to ease congestion is to offer viable alternatives to driving, including safe cycling and public transit options. Making these alternatives safe and reliable helps everyone get where they need to go faster, not just drivers.
By restricting cycling options, the province will only force cyclists to share the road with drivers. This will inconvenience drivers, but for many cyclists this will be deadly. I cannot emphasize this enough.
Please leave the decisions about local transportation to the municipalities and their constituents who understand it best.
