Bill 212 will only increase…

Bill 212 will only increase cycling deaths/injuries, discourage cycling when the use of bicycles is on the rise, and cause taxpayers millions of dollars in unnecessary costs. The province is not more equipped than the City of Toronto to make these kinds of decisions for Toronto residents. The Minister of Transportation and Premier are out of order in creating and rushing this bill.

We want people to cycle instead of cars; for their own safety, health, and for the environment. Why would the province be encouraging unsafe roads? Why is the province bullying their way into overruling city decisions? Why would citizens want to go back 10-20 years with multiple congested lanes, and more cars on the road without room and security for cyclists? We don't! If anything, we should be encouraging the use of cyclist and fuel-free methods of getting to work and moving around cities.

I absolutely oppose Bill 212.
