Commentaire
I am writing to express my concerns about Bill 212, particularly its impact on cycling safety and municipal autonomy.
While I understand the importance of addressing traffic congestion and expediting infrastructure projects, the provisions requiring provincial approval for new bike lanes and the potential removal of existing ones raise significant safety concerns. Bike lanes are essential for protecting cyclists, reducing traffic conflicts, and promoting sustainable transportation.
Restricting municipalities’ ability to manage local bike lanes undermines efforts to create safer and more inclusive roads. Cycling infrastructure benefits everyone by improving traffic flow and reducing environmental impact. Removing these protections would not only discourage active transportation but also increase the risk of accidents.
I urge you to reconsider the provisions related to bike lanes in Bill 212 and ensure that cycling safety remains a priority in Ontario’s transportation policies.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
Emily
