I am extremely against Bill…

I am extremely against Bill 212. It is a waste of taxpayer money and the proposal to remove bike lanes in order to reduce traffic congestion is flawed. Where will all the people riding their bikes go? They will move onto road with the cars or commute with their vehicles instead, causing more traffic congestion. There will be an increase in traffic accidents, causing further strain on our already strained healthcare system.

Instead, the province should focus on investing into public transportation, which would be far better served to clear up traffic congestion than removing the bike lanes. Increasing public transportation means such as subway lines and bus routes, while lowering the cost on fares, will increase usage and lead to less congestion. This has been proven in many metropolitan cities and in Toronto itself.

I implore you to reconsider Bill 212.
