Study after study demonstrate that bike lanes move more people in the city. Removing bike lanes, or making it harder to create new ones, does the opposite. It'll only waste our tax dollars, and the danger to both cyclists and motorists.

Hello,
I am urging the Ontario government to not build highway 413 and instead, open up highway 407.
I'm concerned about several negative impacts if this highway was to be built including:

Induced demand has been conclusively proven for decades. Even US governments understand it. But here go the big government 'conservatives' ignoring facts again.
Bill 212, the "Reducing Gridlock, Saving You Time Act," has several concerning implications that could negatively impact Ontario's communities and environment:

The plan to remove bike lanes is not for the premier to make. Doug is stepping over his boundaries. These bike lanes have bean a safe commute for many. The costs alone are ludicrous. Tax payers are more concerned over the gun violence and theft in this city.

### Ode to Bike Lanes
Oh, lanes of joy where cyclists glide with grace,
In vibrant hues, you carve the city's space.
With gentle curves, you guide us through the streets,
A haven safe where every rider meets.
You weave through parks and bustling urban life,

Adding extra lanes to a road might seem like a straightforward solution to reduce congestion, but it often leads to reduced capacity and efficiency. Here’s why:

Bike lanes are critical infrastructure that help move more people and reduce traffic. Removing them would mean removing the option for cycling, and lead to people driving instead. It’s this driving that adds to traffic and clogs up the roads.

Keep Toronto's bike lanes. Environmentally it only makes sense to move towards fewer cars and smaller cars. Travelling in Europe I see this move everywhere. In Toronto, it seems residents need more encouragement, not less, to ditch their cars or leave them at home more often.

Do not remove bike lanes. We should be encouraging people to use alternate modes of transportation rather than personal vehicles. The real reason there is gridlock is there are too many cars on the road.

I believe that the future of biking networks in Canada are more important than this bill believes they are. It will completely halt and set back a transportation method that hundreds of thousands of Canadians rely on. I beg that the federal government rethinks this decision with haste.
Makes no sense whatsoever for the province to spend $76 million on removing bike lanes for the benefit of a minority of drivers in Toronto. Many of these drivers should be taking public transit if we are serious about reducing emissions.
