Every Ontarian deserves…

Every Ontarian deserves infrastructure that supports both SAFE and EFFICIENT travel within their municipal communities, regardless if they are driving a motor/electric vehicle, using public transportation, riding a bicycle, utilizing mobility devices, or are a pedestrian. Every Ontarian deserves to have the FREEDOM TO CHOOSE what mode of transportation is best suited for their needs, values, circumstances, and/or preferences. Everyone should be respected and have their safety be given due consideration. Removing bike lanes will force cyclists to ride either on the sidewalk, which is illegal and endangers pedestrians, or into road traffic endangering the cyclist and contributes directly to any existing congestion.

The Premier himself has previously admitted to feeling safer while cycling in a lane dedicated to bikes; 'We have to do everything we can to make sure there's never a death in the city. One death is way too many when it comes to bicycle riders.' Should priority be given to drivers saving a few minutes on their commutes, or to saving lives?

Lastly, municipalities should be entrusted to make decisions that best support their communities regarding bike lanes.
