Commentaire

I am strongly opposed to this proposed legislation, specifically the provision to remove bike lanes and to establish provincial oversight on future installations. It is well established that bike lanes significantly reduce the injury rate for cyclists. It is inevitable that these bike lane removals will therefore lead directly to more (and more serious) cyclist injuries. Increasing convenience for drivers is not sufficient justification for reducing the safety of other road users.

This significant overstep of provincial authority is not justified by the best practices of urban design nor the consensus of the medical and scientific community regarding road safety.

Please withdraw this legislation.

Sincerely,
A concerned Ontario resident
