Dear Mr. Ford, As a resident of Ontario, I am very concerned with your plan to build Hwy 413 and in doing so destroy a portion of the Green Belt. This highway is completely useless and will not affect a main traffic issue in travelling from the communities surrounding GTA. Read more

This bill stands as a clear example of the hypocrisy in our current transportation policies. It forces cities and municipalities to seek provincial approval for bike lanes and critical infrastructure improvements that could significantly ease traffic congestion. Read more

Bill 212 would be very harmful for Toronto, not only today but for future generations. Bill 212 is against sustainable and equitable practices for transport while providing little to no benefits. The consequences as result of this bill mean the enactment of the bill should be avoided.

Cars worst enemies of congestion traffic is others cars, not bikes. Removing existing bike lanes in Toronto will not stop the traffic gridlock in this city. Many other main roads across the city without bike lanes continue to have busy traffic congestion of cars. Read more

This bill is nonsensical, and my arguments against it are as follows: 1. The provincial government shouldn't be adding red tape and bureaucracy to slow down local governments trying to increase transportation options. Read more

Bike Lanes are important. I live downtown and I would be using my car if I did not have safe bike lanes. The bike infrastructure down town has really encouraged me to bike more instead of use my car. I use my car when I am going long distances often out of the city. Read more

This bill goes against logic and research. It is a troubling encroachment on municipality’s rights and a drastic overreach by the Premier to undermine and punish a base that doesn’t offer him unquestioning support.

The construction of the new highway 413 is wholly unnecessary and counterintuitive to saving commuting time. Its construction will not produce a reduction in travel time, but in fact do the opposite as it will encourage more people to drive and thus increase overall traffic. Read more

Bill 212 runs counter to the province's own Provincial Policy Statement and goes against common sense transporting planning logic, where multiple case studies across the world have repeatedly demonstrated that bike lanes do not cause congestion, it's cars. Read more
