I disagree with the purpose…

I disagree with the purpose of this law for several reasons:

- Protected bike lanes encourage more people to choose cycling, which reduces car traffic over time and creates safer roads for everyone.

- It is the government duty to provide infrastructure for all modes of transportation. Limiting this choice will lead to greater congestion, lower mobility, and a heavier reliance on vehicles—outcomes that many in our community are actively trying to avoid.

- This law seems to be simply ideological, not based on data.

- Congestion is created by bad urban planning, not because of bike lanes. Creating new surburbs is the cause of congestion.

- I am opposed to the provincial government (aka big government) overreach in cities business. This goes against most of the Ford promises. I am opposed that bike lanes should be approved by some government employees who doesn't have their boots on the ground. Cities know what is best for them.

For all these reasons, I am writing to express my strong opposition to Bill 212.
