This bill is harmful in an untold number of ways. Not only will it not reduce gridlock or save me time, but it will cost significant amounts of money, and destroy vital public infrastructure that I use on a daily basis. If the government was interested in making our commutes easier, safer, and faster, they would explore measures that remove cars from the road entirely.

The government should entirely and completely abandon this plan, and reinvest the millions of dollars to further fund our existing public transit infrastructure. Expand GO Services to encourage more people in the GTA to take buses and trains over driving. Increase grants to municipalities for adding - not removing - bicycle infrastructure, bus lanes, LRT routes, and other local public transit options. The easiest, safest, and greenest way to reduce traffic is to have fewer cars on the road.

Please put the safety and futures of our communities first, and do not move forward with Bill 212.
