I am writing to express my strong opposition to Bill 212. After careful consideration, it is clear that this legislation fails to address its stated goal of reducing gridlock while introducing significant risks to Ontario’s environment, economy, and public health.

The removal of bike lanes contradicts well-established principles of sustainable urban planning. Bike lanes improve traffic flow, promote safer streets, and reduce emissions by encouraging active transportation. They also provide economic benefits, as demonstrated by increased retail sales along bike-friendly corridors in Toronto. Removing this infrastructure will lead to more congestion and undermine local economies. Bill 212 prioritizes outdated solutions over modern, sustainable alternatives.

I urge you to reconsider this legislation. Ontario’s future depends on bold, forward-thinking investments that prioritize environmental stewardship, public health, and fiscal responsibility.

Sincerely,
