This is an incredibly frustrating bill to be tabled that is not based on evidence whatsoever. As someone who lives in Toronto, bike lanes are incredibly important to SAFE transportation in the city. Read more

I do not support Bill 212 (removing bike lanes). It’s common sense that a solution to gridlock in Toronto is prioritizing infrastructure for pedestrians (public transit) and people on bikes (dedicated protected lanes) One bike using a bike lane = one less car on the road Read more

The bike lanes through the city of Toronto and particularly on Bloor St are an essential mode of transportation in the city. They increase accessibility and already contribute to a reduction in traffic by increasing the number of people cycling. Read more

I am against Bill 212 as it is only a way for the government to enact Highway 413 and bypass the Environmental Assessment Act. You want to ignore EAA regulations so you can build highway 413 as fast and as cheap as possible. I hope you have evidence that this is not the case. Read more

This Bill will reduce my sales. You know the government has access to the same information as everyone else showing sales have increased due to bike lanes and a reduction in traffic on Bloor. This will hurt my business all in the name of 1960 debunked city planning. Read more

The proposal of bill 212 is uncalled for. Time and time again, cycling and pedestrian infrastructure has contributed to lower injury and death rates across the world. North America is knows for it's inhumane and hostile car infrastructure that leads to obesity rate, and death. Read more

I bike on Bloor every day to work. Why doesnt the government care about me. Why do they want more cars in gridlock going nowhere. These changes were made because people died. Why is this government okay with me dying all to increase gridlock and slow travel times. Read more

This Bill is from the 60's design guide. The rest of the world has long since moved away from this futile car centric design because does not work. This government is lying to its constituents about this bill by using out-dated stats and wrong conclusions. Read more

An egregiously harmful take on improving cities based on egregiously manipulated data. Scientists and planners and researchers have proven for decades that cars are harmful to people and to the environment, and yet your government continues to push us backwards by putting the car first. Read more

This Bill is to override good governance and processes that have long been respected. This government is too incompetent to be able to follow the rules that every other government has been able to follow for decades. Read more

Government inducing demand and putting more cars on the road to reduce traffic is peak post fact governing that the public has come to expect from this government. This is government overreach. This bill is anti middle class and designed only for elites with there massive cars.
