The reason you can't build the highways is because we don't want them in our communities destroying our environment. This is a government overriding basic rules and regulations to the sole benefit to the premiers development friends and donors.

This is a terrible plan; numerous studies show that adding a lane of traffic increases cars on the road and further reduces safety for cyclists and pedestrians.

I don't own a car, I own a bike though. This bill says everything I need to know what this government thinks about me. I'm not some elite or developer so I am disposable to you. This bill is reprehensible.
I was disappointed to hear that the provincial government may remove bike lanes on Bloor. I've ridden for 20 years and feel this is good for the environment. Many more people are choosing to cycle than 20 years ago.

I live in the Harbord Village neighbourhood with my family. I ride along the Bloor street bike lane between Bathurst and University multiple times a week as I drop my kids off at school.

Keep all bike lanes & add more.
Bike lanes makes driving simpler because it keeps bikes in their own lanes & out of the way of cars.
Bike lanes support transit investments because it makes getting to transit more accessible & easier.

As a driver, I would rather see bicycles on the road in a designated lane alongside cars. I feel safer when I drive next to them rather than riding in car lanes or on crowded sidewalks.

I have significant concerns regarding Ontario Bill 212 (Reducing Gridlock, Saving You Time Act, 2024). The proposal to remove bike lanes as a strategy to reduce traffic congestion is fundamentally flawed and lacks empirical support.

This is a bad law and regulation, for several reasons, and I oppose it. Bundling removing and banning bike lanes with exempting a freeway from environmental assessment is a blatant attempt at politicking and creating a wedge issue to shift the conversation and hide the real goal of the law.

This bill should never exist. The goverment should invest in bike lanes instead of favoring cars. Riding a bike is good for health AND environment. We need way more bike lanes to make accessible cities.
I am writing to share my concerns regarding potential provincial interference in municipal decisions about bike lane placement. As a young professional and parent, I rely on bike infrastructure daily to get around my city with my children and on my own.

Cars and cities are like oil and water, they don't mix. This is the most ill conceived bills. Putting more cars on the road will not reduce congestion from cars. It is crazy that this even has to be said.
One more lane bro. It has never worked in the past to reduce congestion, but this time... One more lane will somehow solve everything. What an absolute joke of a bill. You know books won't hurt you if you read them.

As a resident of Toronto, I am deeply concerned about the ramifications of this bill and I urge this government to reject it.

This bill just encourages people to drive and not use alternative forms of transportation.
It will not resolve grid lock, result in more bicycle related injuries and less fit people.
