Please rename this bill to…

Please rename this bill to be factual. This is the “Increasing Gridlock and Making Commutes Longer at your Tax Dollar Expense” bill.

If you are a driver, give a nod to a bike lane near you. They are reducing the number of cars on the roads so that there are less cars stopping you from getting where you want to go.

If you are a local business owner, give a nod to a bike lane near you. They are encouraging foot traffic to your business.

Bike lanes keep Ontarians safe, and provide an affordable means of travel for those of us who cannot or do not want to pay for a car. As a young professional who has been saving to buy a house for 7 years, not owning a car has allowed me to save more each year and get closer to my goal. While I am still years away, expensive car payments would have made it nearly impossible. In the affordability crisis that we are in, providing Ontarians with safe and affordable transit options is critical.

This bill works AGAINST an affordable and livable Ontario. I hope the premier will reconsider this horrible plan than benefits no one.
