To the Ford Government:

Thé proposal of Bill 212 is not forward thinking, is medaling in municipal jurisdictions, and favours those who drive cars. As both a cyclist and a car owner, I value both, but especially I value the establishment of a safe and respected bike lane network throughout the city. Respect for cyclists needs to be fostered, not resentment, and this kind of bill alienates an enormous segment of the population and makes cycling more dangerous than it already is. Cycling n Ed’s to be viewed as an important and advantageous way to navigate and move around the city: it is non polluting, promotes active lifestyles, promotes community, among other benefits.
There is no data or study that has shown Hwy 413 will benefit the province; in fact, it is the contrary.
The Ford government is lacking a forward thinking, good of the people, community centred approach.

Stay in your own lane and let cities makes these decisions for themselves.
Look at other cities here in Canada (Montreal!!!) and around the world for examples of how this should be done.

The Ford govt needs a new blueprint for how they see the path forward.
