I am writing to express my concern regarding the proposed changes outlined in Bill 212, particularly those that would prevent the installation of new bike lanes where motor vehicle lanes would have to be reduced.

As a daily cyclist commuting from the Danforth to downtown using the Danforth/Bloor bike and Sherbourne lanes, I have personally experienced the profound benefits these lanes provide to our community. I share a car with my wife but I choose to cycle as it's a more efficient and pleasent way to get around the core, and me cycling means one less car on the road.

I urge you to reconsider the provisions in Bill 212 and work with municipalities to expand, not restrict, Ontario’s cycling infrastructure. These bike lanes are more than just paint on the road—they are a critical part of building a sustainable, safe, and prosperous future for all Ontarians.
