I strongly oppose the bike lane provisions of Bill 212, for the following reasons: (1) It is an unacceptable and unwarranted intrusion into local authority; (2) It unfairly and unnecessarily gives priority to vehicles on the use of roads, at the expense of cyclists and other forms of active transportation; (3) it reduces road safety, making cycling more dangerous; and (4) it reduces the positive contribution that cycling lanes can make to traffic calming and to the environment. Bill 212 is a poorly considered and retrograde measure that should be withdrawn.
