Hello, I’m writing to you…

Hello,

I’m writing to you because I strongly oppose the proposal for Bill 212 (ERO number 019-9266).

Bike lanes saves lives. They also are kind to our climate, boost small businesses, and help traffic flow better.

As an Ontarian, I support keeping the current bike lanes on Bloor Street, Yonge Street, and University Avenue - and I strongly urge Premier Ford and his government to continue to let the city of Toronto keep their authority in determining the approval process for bike lanes.

As a driver, bike lanes allow me to feel safe when passing a cyclist and ensuring that I do not get stuck behind them. As a cyclist, bike lanes protect me from drivers and allow me to cycle to my location without impacting a driver. Ultimately, we need more bike lanes - not less.
