Increasing highways is a dead-end and is not a solution. You don't solve traffic by encouraging more driving. You solve traffic by building transit. I am against this
Spending billions of dollars to bring more into Toronto is pointless because there is still nowhere for them to drive when they get there. There's a finite amount of road because... there are already buildings there.

I am writing to urgently oppose Bill 212 and the Highway 413 Act, 2024. This legislation raises serious concerns about the future of Ontario’s environment, economy, and communities.

Hello as a permanent resident for the last year of Canada, working in the advertising technologies industry, one of the great draws of Toronto was its versioning cycling culture. This great city design was one of the things that drew me to move to Canada from the United States.

Building highways is not the way to reduce congestion or get people from point A to point B quicker. We need to prioritize public transit and high-speed rail.
I am a regular cyclist in the city of Toronto, who is saddened and concerned by the proposal to remove bike lanes. This is a poor use of provincial funding, an irresponsible decision for environmental sustainability, and will make cycling in the city more dangerous.

On Bike lanes, this bill represents inappropriate provincial overreach into municipal matters. It goes against research findings about the actual causes of gridlock, and will waste millions of dollars to buy votes premised on anti-urban sentiment.

I am a resident of Etobicoke and do not support this bill. I feel this bill is provincial overreach into municipal responsibilities and a waste of taxpayer money.

Canadians don't need more infrastructure for personal automobiles. What they do need is more alternatives to get people out of cars so that traffic congestion can be eased. Bike lanes are necessary urban infrastructure and are good for the local economy.

I do NOT support this bill in any way, shape , or form. It is an egregious waste of taxpayer money that will end in an increase in bicycle deaths and accidents. Additionally, the gridlock that the deconstruction of the lanes would cause would only increase traffic and congestion downtown.

Where will the bikers go, Doug Ford, if you remove the bike lanes? They will go in the roads. And that is unacceptable and will make people angry, and is UNSAFE for everyone.
I am strongly opposed to Bill 212. As a daily cyclist and a Toronto resident, I rely on bike lanes to commute safely and efficiently. By choosing to cycle, I’m helping reduce congestion and pollution, making the city more livable for everyone.

As a downtown resident and cyclist, the proposal will not improve traffic. The issue with traffic is construction, illegal parking or turns, and many ride share cars. I am opposed because as a cyclist, I will now take the lane, as I am entitled to. Otherwise, I risk aggressive drivers.

This is an irresponsible Bill that will not improve gridlock across Ontario, especially in Toronto. Our over reliance on cars, and designing cities that only work for cars, makes gridlock worse. There is no way out of congestion by planning for more cars.
