I am opposed to this legislation.

Studies show that, depending upon area, somewhere between 5% & 20% of citizens regularly use bicycles for commuting, and somewhere around 70% use bicycles at all.

2024 has already been a record-breaking year for cycling fatalities in Toronto, and that is certain to increase with dedicated lanes being removed & the bicycle traffic being reintegrated with auto traffic.

Any supposed benefit to auto traffic patterns seems likely to be disrupted by bicycles being forced back into auto lanes, not to mention the increased frustration of auto drivers potentially leading to “road-rage” against bicyclists, thereby further increasing the likelihood of injuries or deaths.

None of the above even touches the whole environmental impact of encouraging more cars and fewer bicycles to be on the roads.
