I would like to express my opposition to Bill 212 - Reducing Gridlock, Saving You Time, because this is clearly an overreach of the Provincial responsibilities, and it doesn’t improve traffic or security for citizens of Ontario and its communities.

As per the report from the city of Toronto (https://www.toronto.ca/legdocs/mmis/2024/cc/bgrd/backgroundfile-250545…), removing bike lanes will reduce alternate means of transportation, prioritizing cars, and putting people’s lives at risk for those who opt for bicycles.
It is a known fact that providing the infrastructure and secure transport options is the best way to reduce gridlock and traffic jams in cities. We can take examples from Europe like London, or Amsterdam.

This bill does not have people’s best interest as the objective, and has the potential to make a bad situation eve worse.

The province should prioritize the development and improvement of railways, buses, bike lanes, and other alternate means of transportation to incentivize people to rely more on transit than cars.
