I am strongly opposed to Bill 212, as someone who cycles in Toronto both for transportation and enjoyment I have experienced firsthand the difference in safety with and without bike lanes. Toronto has a vibrant and growing cycling culture, which is great for resident health, local businesses, community, reducing traffic, and pollution. The removal of bike lanes will make the roads more dangerous for everyone, by forcing cyclists onto the road, ultimately creating more congestion and distractions for drivers, and putting cyclists in harm's way. Instead of spending taxpayer money on construction to remove these vital pathways, the province and city should be supporting their continued expansion for a safer, greener future.
