I am writing to express my support for the installation and expansion of bike lanes as part of Ontario’s transportation planning. While I understand the desire to improve highway infrastructure and alleviate traffic congestion, I believe that promoting safe and accessible cycling routes through a dedicated bike lane framework is equally important for the future of our province.

Bike lanes contribute to reducing gridlock, improving air quality, and fostering healthier communities. Encouraging cycling as a viable mode of transport helps alleviate road congestion by offering an alternative to car use, especially in urban areas where roadways are often overcrowded. The environmental and public health benefits that bike lanes bring, from reducing emissions to promoting active lifestyles, should not be overlooked in our planning for future infrastructure.

I firmly believe that a focus on better public transit and alternatives to driving is the only way to reduce traffic. It is the only logical choice and will result in a better future for our families.
