I am writing to oppose Bill 212.

As a driver, it won't save me time to have the streets that have been torn up to put in bike lanes clogged with construction again, to remove them. This is a waste of money and other resources that could be put towards other traffic solutions.

I also am much more comfortable having the cyclists separated from the cars, it is safer and much more predictable. Cyclists on busy streets without bike lanes can cause a lot of difficulty to drivers, as they either take a whole lane, or weave in and out of traffic. Having them separated is preferable to me as a driver. There are not alternate routes to the lanes on Bloor and University, so removing the lanes will just bring the cyclists back into traffic, making it more difficult and reduce safety for everyone.

This is an ill thought out amendment, comes at great cost and reduces safety for everyone on the roads, all for a minute or two of reduced commute time for cars. It doesn't make sense.
