As a disabled person who relies on a bicycle for accessible transportation, I strongly oppose Bill 212. This bill oversteps municipal authority and undermines local decision-making on bike lane infrastructure. Read more

I believe this set of amendments will act to reduce due process and the ability of affected parties - individual property owners and businesses - to negotiate effectively for fair compensation when construction of highway infrastructure requires appropriation of private property. Read more

It is about time the provincial government realize we need more PUBLIC transportation to help carry thousands to ease traffic congestion NOT more highways to add to the existing congestion issue. We need more green space and sustainable transportation between the cities as well. Read more

We do not need the 413, we need to preserve our green belt and respect environmental concerns . Existing bike lanes need to stay and we need public transit to be finished and preserved. Some of this money could go into health care.

I am very upset that a provincial government which has the responsibility to care for this land and water that we call Ontario would want to rush a huge construction project through without a full and comprehensive environmental assessment. Read more

As a young person, the environmental decisions made now drastically impact the rest of my life. They impact me for much longer than the parliamentarians who make the decisions about the environment. Read more

I do not support Bill 212. Studies show that building more roads and highways does not reduce congestion, it only encourages more people to use cars and ends up increasing traffic. In this era of climate catastrophes, we do not need more cars on the road. Read more

This proposal is extremely short sighted and deceitful, like many of other proposals by this administration. It is so problematic on so many levels, as I'm sure the provincial staff are aware: 1. PROVINCIAL OVERREACH Read more

It would be best if building bike lanes and improving public transit would take priority. That way more people will take alternative modes of transportation instead of just resorting to cars and would result in reduced traffic.

Removing bike lanes will kill cyclists like myself by removing infrastructure necessary to keep us safe. Cycling is a low cost and sustainable way to travel around the city that reduces pollution and gridlock in itself. Bike lanes keep people safe and promote a healthy lifestyle for residents.

Against the idea of removing bike lanes, it is not going to improve traffic congestion, people who use bike to commute due to a variety of reasons, not able to afford a car, environmental reason, or just a lifestyle choice. Read more
