I oppose Bill 212, the Reducing Gridlock, Saving You Time Act, 2024. This bill prioritizes projects dictated by the Transport Minister, disregarding community needs, environmental protections, and local autonomy.
Key concerns include:
Highway 413 and Environmental Impacts

The Premier has said he is a careful steward of our (taxpayer's) money. By spending millions of dollars to tear up bicycle lanes, the Minister of Transportation will make a liar of the Premier. This waste of our money would be akin to flushing it down the toilet. Millions of our dollars wasted.

I absolutely disagree with the removal of bike lanes along, bloor, university, and Yonge. It is incredibly naïve, and ignorant, to be using statistics from several years ago. The government needs to understand that the needs of the core are different than the needs of Etobicoke.

Bill 212 is an unnecessarily harmful proposal to the wellbeing people living in Ontario, as well as being especially harmful to people who live in Toronto, and should be opposed. I am concerned that this bill will have the effect of chilling bike lane development across Ontario.

I am a 52 yrs old male living with ideopathic pulmonary fibrosis and COPD. I try to use my ebike as my primary source for transport and errands.
