I have read the proposal and I totally object Bill 212. This will definitely harm the environment by building a highway 413 through the greenbelt. The city and municipality should have a say in what is happening in their jurisdiction.

As a bike rider AND a driver, I am deeply concerned about bill 212 for a number of reasons: 1) our cities are suffering with traffic congestion, which has gotten worse since before the pandemic despite less commuting and likely owing to lower transit use.

This is a disgusting and blatant power grab that will make Toronto worse to get around in and rip away land from the green belt. Ford cannot be allowed to get around environmental assessments.
I object to the bill.
Building a new Highway is not going to lessen traffic, but will continue to make it worse by making driving anywhere the only option.

To whom it may concern,
I have significant concerns with Bill 212 for serveral reasons - the ones I will highlight in this comment are concerns about the planned regulatory changes around bike lanes and the exemption of Highway 413 from environmental assessments.

As a lifelong Torontonian who drives and cycles weekly, I find this legislation deeply troubling. Prioritizing highways over bike lanes makes our city less safe, sustainable, and livable.

The forced removal of bike lanes will mean the end of Vision Zero. Simply put, there is an overwhelming amount of evidence to show that this has the potential to lead to more deaths and severe injury, including with children. Are you really okay with that?
Hello, I am a grade 10 student in the City of Toronto, and I believe that bike lanes are not slowing traffic whatsoever, but they are helping protect myself and other cyclists' lives.

Like many others, I disapprove of the proposed legislation. Overall, these changes are not based on empirical evidence, expert opinion, or justifiable rationale.

I strongly oppose Bill 212 being introduced in Ontario. Reducing traffic does not come from increasing car lanes. This will only temporary relieve gridlock, until demand increases and traffic returns to its current state.

There must be safeguards established for the the protection of the environment. I therefore strongly am a proponent of having an environmental study before any major construction projects are undertaken.

Just this year, six cyclists were killed on Toronto’s streets. Bill 212 disregards the safety of these individuals, which is not only unacceptable; but dangerous.

I would like the committee to restore proper oversight of the various highway projects enumerated in this bill and that autonomy be restored to municipal governments'.
