I strongly oppose Bill 212, which proposes removing essential bike lanes in Toronto and requiring provincial approval for new bike lanes that impact vehicle lanes. This proposal disregards the environmental and health benefits of cycling infrastructure, increases reliance on cars, and undermines Toronto’s efforts to promote sustainable and safe transportation.

Removing established bike lanes on Bloor, Yonge, and University will worsen congestion and emissions, and limiting municipal control over these decisions is counterproductive. Instead of rolling back bike lanes, Ontario should be expanding them to meet growing urban transit needs. I urge the Ministry to prioritize sustainability and support bike-friendly infrastructure.
