Hi, Bill 212 is a foolish…

Hi,

Bill 212 is a foolish backward movement with regard to bike lanes. I strongly suggest we strike it down.

First, the provincial government has no right to be meddling in the affairs of municipal matters, like bike lanes. Why add red-tape and bureaucracy to local governments wanting to increase transportation options? Bike lanes are an essential form of traffic for those who: don't want to drive, don't have cars, want to exercise, want to reduce emissions and so on.

What's more, bike lanes keep cyclists out of the way of cars. If the bike lanes are removed, and all cyclists start "taking the lane", I see far worse issues with traffic. Each bike is one less car in front of you, Doug Ford.

Doug Ford: why don't you hop on your bike (well, get one first, I presume you don't have one), and bike to work instead of sitting behind traffic? Be part of the solution, not part of the problem. And don't make the problem worse for everybody else, including yourself.
