It is unconscionable to remove bike lanes that already exist and to prevent the construction of planned bike lanes. These provide safe ways for people to commute and travel around the city, and have proven benefits to the economy, the environment, and the physical well-being of Ontarians.

If this bill goes forward, it will mean putting cyclists of all ages at an increased risk for life-altering injuries and death. 6 cyclists have already died this year on the road, up from 1 in 2023. How many will die as a result of Bill 212? What's more, a portion of cyclists who are deterred from using their previously safe routes will turn to traveling by vehicles, further increasing the amount of vehicles on the roads, the city's congestion, and carbon emissions.

Invest in better transit systems for a reduced number of cars on the road, rather than jeopardizing the lives of citizens.
