It's hard to believe that anyone, let alone responsible government officials in Ontario, would consider introducing, let along implementing, such a policy when all evidence from multiple jurisdictions around the world points in the totally opposite direction.

This infrastructure is a VERY important step to making our cities GREEN for the next generation.
If the safe transportation via bike is there, people will use it !
I am writing to oppose the removal of bike lanes from major city roads as proposed in Ontario Bill 212. The removal of bike lanes would be a step backward in creating safer, greener, and more efficient cities.

Reducing bike lanes in Toronto will be absolutely detrimental for traffic, cyclist safety, and public health overall. We have data to show that bike lanes reduce traffic by reducing the number of cars on the road.

I am writing to express my concerns regarding the proposed infrastructure bill, which includes provisions for expanding highways and creating additional lanes in Ontario.

I would like it to be known and heard that I am against this bill and what it stands for. We do not need a faster system for getting highways built in this province, we need an environmentally accountable system to ensure highways are built in the correct locations to serve the greater good.

The provincial government should try to move us faster by giving us more transportation options. Our only options are the traffic filled highways we currently have or the slow GO transit and public transit system that is the laughing stock of the entire developed world.

I have read the proposed Bill 212 and I strongly disagree with multiple aspects of it. I believe that the Premier of Ontario should not be able to jump through hoops and undo environmental protections that have been developed over many years just so that we can build a highway.

I am beyond dissapointed in this legislation. This will force me to give up using my bike path and instead drive my car to work, further contributing to traffic congestion.

I am from Calgary, but whenever I travel to Toronto for work, I use the bikeshare to get around in a cost effective manner, in conjunction with the transit system.

What I find most disturbing in this act is the part where it says "Where MTO has determined that property expropriation is necessary to support a priority highway project, the proposed legislation would, if passed, remove a property owner’s ability to apply to a judge for a later date of possession

Removing bicycle lanes is a terrible idea and will contribute to greater cyclist death, air pollution, and CONTRIBUTE TO GRIDLOCK as more people would have to use cars because they do not feel confident cycling on multi-use paths.

Bill 212 isn't just about removing bike lanes—it’s also about adding more cars to the road and with that, more pollution. Taking out bike lanes in Toronto’s busiest areas would mean more people using cars for short trips that could easily be done by bike.

I moved here from Alberta in 2014 because transit and bike infrastructure made not driving the obvious choice. Over the past 10 years I’ve seen bike lanes get better and I’ve biked more and more every year, and noticed the volume of bike traffic drastically increase alongside me too.

Wasting $48M on tearing up bike lanes communities want, have voted for, and use! This is blatant government overreach of the worst kind. Big government pushing around communities.

I am a lifelong Toronto resident who has benefited greatly from the addition of The many designated bike lanes in downtown Toronto over the years.
