I strongly oppose the removal of any bike lanes in Ontario under this new Bill. It is a waste of taxpayer money. Bike lanes are an investment in communities and make areas more desirable to live and work. People who use bike lanes are also taxpayers, commuters, shoppers, etc. Why are we making it more difficult to use alternate modes of transportation? Not everyone can afford a car. Not everyone is able to drive a car. We should as a province be encouraging people to use alternate forms of transportation. Less cars on the road means less traffic and gridlock. Less cars means less money spent on road infrastructure upkeep. Invest in bikes lanes and public transportation. Remove unnecessary parking on major streets if gridlock is actually a concern. Encourage people to use public transit. Removing bikes lanes solves nothing and makes the roads unsafe for all users.
