As a resident of Ontario I am not in favour of this bill and I believe the government should be focusing on alternative means of transportation over cars, and most of all should leave the decisions about bike lanes and active infrastructure up to the municipalities and cities who are we red by the r Read more

Removing bike lanes will not reduce traffic, getting rid of bike lanes does not get rid of bikes, it just leads to them sharing the lanes of traffic with cars, further impeding then during the commute. Read more

Hello, I have four suggestions regarding this act. 1) Change its name to [Bill 212 - Just One More Lane Bro, Just Ignore History And Trust Me Bro Act, 2024]. After several projects since 1950 on 401 alone, we all circle back to congestion, and somehow "more lane" is still the only solution. Read more

Environmental impact studies should not be negotiable when building highways. We don't need highways faster we need sustainable solutions that help people get around faster. I am certain many urban planners have studies to suggest more lanes do not equal faster commutes.

I am extremely disconcerted by the contents of this bill. I do not support the expedited construction of Highway 413. It's an unnecessary mega-project, and that money would be better spent on more mass transit. Read more

This legislation undermines good transportation planning, and I am deeply concerned it will make it more difficult to build bike infrastructure that can reduce the number of deaths and catastrophic injuries on our roads. Read more

As a driver, a cyclist, and a resident of Toronto, I am wholly and completely opposed to Bill 212. This government has presented no data to suggest that the removal of bike lanes would reduce congestion. In fact, this bill presents no data at all. Read more

I've worked in Transportation Planning for over 20 years, and there's a common misconception that widening roads and building new roads will reduce congestion. In fact, it always makes it worse in the long term. Ontario's proposed Bill 212 won't reduce gridlock, and won't save commuters time. Read more

Good day. I am writing to express my strong opposition to the proposed Bill 212 that aims to reduce bike lanes and centralize control over cycling infrastructure development, taking this authority away from municipalities. Read more

Stop building highways, adding lanes to already huge highways. It has been proved many times that it doesnt work! Invest that money in creating more GO lines with more frequent ans fast service, more reliable public transportation options and bike lanes to GO stations too.
