This stretch of road is one that myself and my friends use to commute with our bikes on regularly. As both a driver and a cyclist, I care much more about the safety of our cyclists than any miniscule increase in road space.

Two glaring issues with Bill 212.
1. Schedule 3 section 2.
Highway 413 should not be exempt from the environmental assessment act. A poll by Ekos in December 2021 showed 49% of respondents were against highway 413 with only 29% in support of it.

This legislature is yet another example of Doug Ford wasting taxpayer dollars on unnecessary personal projects while neglecting the true needs of the province. Do not spend any money removing existing and paid for infrastructure, especially if it will not make any tangible difference in congestion.

I do not support removing bike lanes in Toronto nor do I support any changes to existing laws or regulations that would expedite the process of developing Highway 413. Please do not pass this legislation or pursue this course of action though other means.
There is no part of this legislation that will save time or reduce gridlock.
Your job is to take care of your constituents. That requires increased focus on health care, education, and affordability.

The province should not be controlling municipal infrastructure. Bike lanes reduce congestion by providing alterations forms of transportation around the city of Toronto.

The provincial government is wasting time and money on municipal issues. Fix congestion by finishing povincial projects that are already started like the Finch/Ellington LRT or The Gardener.

Bill 212 doesn't make sense, we need safe infrastructures for bikes. Removing the bike path to add a space for cars will not ease the bottle necks at highways and the many many intersections, it will only endanger cyclists and make people not want to use bicycles.

The proposal to interfere with municipal decisions about bike lanes is a terrible idea. Bike lanes are approved by city councils that are democratically elected - if the population didn't want them, they would elect different councillors and mayors.

It feels like the Ontario government wants to focus on making life easier for drivers, when other places in the world with world-class cities are moving in the direction of fewer cars, better public transportation, and better walkability.

Everyone is in a rush to get everywhere and to get things and expectations need to be adapted in order to allow cyclists and pedestrians to be able to exist safely. Because of this, making it harder to implement bike lanes is a mistake.

Dedicated bike lanes DO NOT increase traffic, quite the opposite - more bike lanes give safe space for bike riders and allow for more drivers to take the option to bike to work.
