I oppose the Bill 212. As a cyclist and citizen of Toronto I feel that this is a step backwards.
I'll note that I'm also a motor vehicle driver and agree that Toronto gridlock is untenable. But removing bike lanes is NOT going to solve this problem. If anything, it will put more cars on the road as all those cyclist will have to get around safely somehow.
Additionally, allowing the province to remove bike lanes without opposition sets a terrible precedent because City councilors are elected to represent constituents. The province has no business in this matter.
As Coun. Josh Matlow said the legislation is not about bike lanes but about Ford's political interests.
"While Doug Ford is focusing on micromanaging Toronto, he's neglecting a healthcare system that needs improvement, schools that need fixing, vulnerable people across this province who don't have a premier who is for the people. But damn, we can go to 7-11 and buy a cooler now. Isn't that awesome?"
