I strongly oppose Bill 212. As both a driver and cyclist on Bloor Street, I've witnessed firsthand how bike lanes have created a SAFER, more PREDICTABLE environment for all road users. The traffic calming effect of the bike lanes has made driving LESS STRESSFUL, while removing them would NOT DETER cyclists who rely on these essential routes – it would only make their journeys MORE DANGEROUS and create new LIABILITY RISKS for the city. The SUBSTANTIAL COSTS of removing existing infrastructure, only to likely REINSTALL it in the future as cycling continues to grow, would be an IRRESPONSIBLE USE of taxpayer money. The evidence is clear: properly designed bike lanes REDUCE COLLISIONS, improve traffic flow through predictability, and support local businesses.
