Bill 212 is an overreach…

Bill 212 is an overreach into business that should be the prevue of Municipal government. This bill creates an unacceptable level of Red Tape. Alternative transportation modes including cycling infrastructure are a viable way to reduce traffic congestion and improve local small businesses. This has been the case in every jurisdiction around the world including Toronto.

The government should work towards improving alternative forms of transportation not dismantling what is clearly working.

The inclusion of the dismantling of the cycle ways on Bloor St, Yonge St and University Avenue appear to be a personal attack rather based on facts.

It is vehicles that cause congestion not Bike ways. Remember that every bike is potentially one less vehicle on the road.

The government would be better served by improving Public Transit and actually completing projects that have tied up traffic and destroying local small businesses for over a decade.

I urge you reconsider Bill 212.
