I am opposed to this Bill because I believe what it is proposing will bypass existing legislative practices and safeguards - such as environmental assessments and consultations with First Nations and the broader public - to fast-track politically motivated projects that are not in the public interes Read more

It is essential that our city steers its course towards a greener, more sustainable future. This bill reverses that progress! Our bike lanes were built with safe and sustainable commuting in mind and its a waste of money and a spit in the face of Torontonians to remove them! Read more

If you remove bike lanes I will continue to bike but I will TAKE THE ROAD as is my legal right under the HTA. You will see lots of cyclists like me riding in the middle of the car lane. Read more

The section that overrides the expropriations act is wrong, allowing the Province to build a highway anywhere it pleases even if it cuts through someone's home and property? Give me a break. That's robbery and worse. Read more

I am opposed to bill 212. I cycle to work daily and rely on the bike lane to do so safely. I work in a hospital, it’s crucial to have bike lanes connecting our hospitals in the city. Read more

Do not remove bike lanes. They are not the cause of traffic - cafe TO, major construction, delays on public transit Bike lanes serve the community, are good alternative transit, promote health, and are important part of biker safety.

Please don't do this. I use my bike to commute to work every day and the growth of bike lanes over the past decade or so has been a huge benefit for me, and thousands of others like me. We will continue to use our bikes no matter what, so it only makes sense for us to have space to do so. Read more

The best way to reduce congestion in the city is to encourage people to walk, cycle or use public transit for shorter journeys rather drive. Providing a networking of well designed cycle lanes will reduce not increase congestion in the long term. Read more

It’s time the province concentrated on bringing its public transit systems into the 21st Century. Improve rapid transit, increase capacity, extend lines and add services to satellite communities. Gridlock is a problem created by having too many private vehicles on the road with only one occupant. Read more

What are your thoughts on the fact that this bill makes it easier for the Ontario government to take my property and the property of Ontarians all across the province? Quoting from the bill: Read more

As a rural resident I do not support this bill. It is gross overreach that increases red tape, a stated goal of this government to avoid. It does no align with any data but individuals personal feelings that they see a bike lane and it must be slowing them down. Read more
