I don't want bill 212 to be passed.

I think we need less cars on the road to reduce gridlock.

I think we need a balance of available options for people to choose their mode of transportation.

I think including smaller vehicles & various modes of trasportation shouldbe increased to a better balance including building more & finishing current public transportation projects & painted bike lanes & smaller cars & less cars on the road.

I think bike lanes should be allowed to take over an existing car lane.

I think bike lanes need to be made & kept more simple reducing or eliminating 90% of bollards, small cement boarders & curbs taking up space on the roads forcing bikes & pedestrians to be "boxed in" or "blocked in" by excess use of physical barriers & creating trip hazards.

I think cars need to be slow down to 40km/hr in cities & in some cases 30km or less.

I think enforcing lowered car speeds & illegal stopping/parking should be more prominent with more speed traps, (officers & cameras giving tickets) & in some cases gentle speed bumps & raised pedestrian areas & ocassionally raised bike areas with ramps rather than curbs so cars are slowed down when crossing bikes & pedestrian paths but bikes & pedestrians are not inconvenienced or in danger of tripping or hitting curbs or by creating unnecessarily narrow bike lanes with curbs & barriers or being mixed with pedestrians.

I think traffick light infrastructure at intersections needs to be upgraded at all intersections to include separate red & green lights giving opportunities for turning cars to do so separatly from straight car, bike & pedestrians traffick. (Such as many intersection on Adelaide, used in the Summer of 2024 in Toronto), to keep all traffick moving & safer)

I think less small trucks (suv's) should be sold to consumers & more large cars such as minivans & station wagons replace them if more cargo space is the goal of the driver.

Regarding bill 212, as long as the excess perminent & non perminent physical barriers are reduced, (maintaining the use of road paint & above head signs), the bike lanes are made wide enough for passing bike trailers, there are designated stopping zones for cars, then i 100% support the use of car lanes replaced by bike lanes.

I don't want to see any current bike lanes removed & i want to see more lanes created while removing about 50% of the physical barrriers.

(I find the bollards & short boarders & curbs dangerous & actually push me or keep me in car traffick when i need to pass or get into a bike lane from the opposit side of the street or when avoiding debris or slower people in the bike lanes.

I dont think the physical barriers create actual safety, i think they create a false sense of safety & often make the road less safe for cyclists & pedestrians.

I think the same amount of safety can be created & increased by keeping double painted lines (wide buffer areas), road paint, overhead signs, better traffick lights & more enforcement of cars parking/stopping incorrectly or speeding rather than using physical barriers such as excess bollards, boarder & curbs such as along the Bloor viaduct, Sherbourn & O'Connor drive bollards & curbs.

I think the bike lane on the bloor viaduct should be slighly widened with a wider double painted line with more buffer area and 80-99% of the bollards should be removed for safer passing & better snow clearing.

Thank you for your consideration.
