This comment is specifically about the province's desire to remove bike lanes in Toronto.
Bike lanes reduce fatalities. Remove them, and more Ontarians die.

Please reconsider the provisions in this bill related to bike lanes. Bike lanes reduce congestion, they do not contribute.
Alternatives to driving reduce congestion, they do not contribute. Transit and active transportation options reduce congestion.

I believe building out cycling infrastructure in Toronto is an important component of improving the liveability. Cycling is a great alternative to driving but it feels inaccessible sometimes due to lack of infrastructure.

The provincial government should not be adding red tape a bureaucracy for cities implementing active transportation infrastructure and increase transportation options.

Adding more lanes and more roads will only increase the number of cars on the roads, and increase traffic. If you do this we will be gridlocked again in a few years and you’ll be insisting more roads will fix it again.

I have read the contents of Bill 212 as well as the related debate proceedings so far. As an Ontarian, I am dismayed at the poor governance exhibited here.

This act is unquestionably a joke. This Government has been lucky that they have no opposition, but it is starting to get ridiculous how they are treating residents of this province.

I am a resident of uptown Yonge neighborhood and I regularly rely on the bike lanes on Yonge that are proposed to be removed. The bike lanes are essential for safe passage of cyclists on the busy street, without them cyclists will be in danger.

I use the University Street bike lane routinely to help me get to work and this bill would actively make my commute to work more dangerous and more complicated. This Bill clearly is not in the interest of people who live in downtown Toronto and I strongly am against its implementation.

The only forward-thinking way to reduce congestion is to reduce reliance on cars. The bike lanes on Bloor, Yonge and University are an important part of our cycling infrastructure that encourages people to get around in ways that are not via car and therefore reduces congestion.

Here is my list of reasons why the bike-lanes plan will make roads more dangerous for cyclists and motorists, add unneeded red tape and move us back decades in both infrastructure:

This is a horrible bill. It needs to be stopped. Ontario does not need Hwy 413 a highway to nowhere. Bradford bypass is fine. Targeting Toronto bike lanes which reduce car dependency is not only a regressive policy but goes against so called Conservative values of small government.

Bike lanes are an essential part of Toronto’s infrastructure for enhancing safety, sustainability, and accessibility. As cycling grows in popularity, bike lanes offer a safer option for riders, separating them from cars and reducing the likelihood of accidents.

Bike lanes are a safe and necessary part of a growing city and it hasn't been shown that they increase congestion in the city. I support safe bike infrastructure. Hands off Toronto's bike lanes ford!
This is a classist act. It goes against people without the financial resources for cars. It limits mobility and does not consider the aged, the immobile or people of poorer backgrounds. Current legislations and bureaucratic processes contributed to the housing crisis, limiting what can be built.

This is a disgrace. Not only is this nonsensical policy with no basis in fact- bike lanes save lives and reduce congestion - it is also a gross overreach by the provincial government.
