Hello, As someone who…

Hello,

As someone who commutes daily by bike in Toronto, I'm deeply opposed to Bill 212. Bike lanes are crucial for my safety on the road, allowing me to navigate traffic without putting myself—or drivers—at risk. They help reduce congestion and pollution, keep me healthier (lowering the burden on our healthcare system), and allow me to stay connected with my community. Eliminating bike lanes would push cyclists into car lanes, heightening accident risks and forcing many back into cars, ultimately increasing traffic and emissions.

Bike lanes on streets like University, College, Yonge, and Bloor-Danforth have clearly proven their value, making commuting safer and more efficient. Instead of dismantling these essential resources, I believe the government should invest in expanding cycling infrastructure to build a healthier, greener, and less congested city. Why not restore funding to education or address the healthcare system’s capacity issues? Why not focus resources on supporting those facing housing or food insecurity?

There are countless reasons why Bill 212 should be scrapped—not just the bike lanes, but also issues like the Highway 413 project.

Please stop Bill 212.
