Preserving the valued…

Preserving the valued infrastructure of well-utilized, much needed provincial bike lanes is important for the future of Ontarians.
Aside from the fact that I want myself and family members to have more safe, healthy transportation options that benefit the city, reduction in traffic congestion, and our health, there are many fact-based arguments to support the vision of increasing bike lanes.

Science and common sense support evidence that bike lanes:
*lead to a reduction of cars on our roads and frees parking lot spaces in our cities.
*allow transportation options for those who chose not to, or cannot afford to drive cars or take crowded public transportation
*encourage citizens to exercise while commuting, which offers long term health benefits for individuals of all ages and cost benefits for our healthcare strapped province.
*help to reduce our carbon emissions
*keep our cycling citizens safe
*enhance tourism and activity options for visitors and citizens
*lead to healthier, safer, cleaner cities
