Bike Ottawa presentation to the committee studying Bill 212
Bike Ottawa presented the following as our deputation to the Ontario Standing Committee on Heritage, Infrastructure and Cultural Policy.
Bill 212 (The Bill to Remove Bike Lanes, Promote Government Overreach Into Municipal Affairs, Waste Money, and Make Our Streets Less Safe)
