I oppose the Ontario Provincial Government’s removal of bike lanes and the added requirement for municipalities to seek provincial approval before implementing new bike lanes that replace an existing traffic lane. This additional layer of red tape and bureaucracy stifles local decision-making and creates unnecessary obstacles for communities looking to improve their transportation infrastructure. Bike lanes are essential infrastructure, offering a safe and accessible transportation option for cyclists while also making roads simpler and safer for drivers by providing clear spaces for all road users. Furthermore, bike lanes complement transit investments by creating a more integrated and sustainable transportation network, supporting Ontario’s environmental and public health goals.
