I support Bill 212. I am an Etobicoke resident.

When the City of Toronto’s public transit network, specifically its subway and LRT network, becomes much more robust that may be the time to permit bike lanes on major thoroughfares.

At present, bike lanes deter patrons of local businesses, result in periods of gridlock, result in extremely confusing traffic controls for drivers, pedestrians and cyclists, and impede emergency vehicles. I suspect that cordon counts will reveal that the bike lanes are not frequently used. They were established prematurely.

I do support safe cycling and would hope that the Bill will result in the city considering safer cycling measures on side streets and in parkland adjacent to major thoroughfares.
