This legislation undermines good transportation planning, and I am deeply concerned it will make it more difficult to build bike infrastructure that can reduce the number of deaths and catastrophic injuries on our roads.

Cycling promotes good, healthy communities. Bikes lakes offer freedom of transportation choice. Bike lanes also allow me to continue getting around my Ontario city without needing to buy a car, providing assistance during this province-wide affordability crunch.

This legislation has no data or evidence to support the claim that bike lanes cause congestion. On the contrary, several reputable studies have demonstrated that bicycles take cars off the road and allows us to build more dense cities without adding more vehicles contributing to already-horrific traffic.

Bike lanes are good for the environment, good for business, for personal and public health and they save lives.
