As a citizen of Toronto, Ontario, I find Bill 212 to be extremely troubling. This is a serious overreach of the provincial government into our municipality. Reducing bike lanes in our city will directly impact the safety and wellbeing of many of Torontonians, including myself, my husband, and our friends. The city has the right (and responsibility) to provide all kinds of modes of transit to its citizens; our safety shouldn't be traded for a nominal reduction in travel time for cars. The removal of bike lanes is not grounded in any reasonable research; it's regressive; and it's a waste of money. Please reconsider.
