I want to understand why this government is expanding its influence into municipal affairs. I thought it platformed on reducing government waste. All this is, is more bureaucratic junk

Bike lanes help fix traffic. They keep cyclists safe from cars and in separate lanes. If there are no bike lanes then the cyclists will be in the car lane blocking traffic even more. Removing bike lanes will cause deaths that will be on the government. Read more

I completely disagree with the provincial government attempting to have any input on bike lanes in municipal right of ways. It is an absurd overreach of the provincial government and is a waste of tax dollars. Bike lanes are proven to reduce congestion and improve safety. Read more

I drive across Toronto from the East end to Etobicoke and back for my commute and understand the challenges and frustrations around gridlock and traffic. Seeking to remedy this is certainly a worthwhile goal. Read more

We have known since congestion first started becoming an issue in the 1930s that more lanes would not ease congestion. As Robert Moses built more bridges in NYC, the earliest example of this issue and pseudo-resolution, more vehicles flooded the streets and all new lanes/bridges remain congested. Read more

This is obvious nonsense. This proposal is unnecessary, unwanted and unhelpful. Unsupported by statistics, science or facts. Please do better and stop wasting our money.

Bike lanes are an essential active transportation method for low-income individuals, and promote better health in the local community. This legislation does not work. Read more

This doesn't seem like the best way to tackle gridlock and Ontario's congestion problem, it feels that there are just too many cars on the road along with the problem of them entering an intersection without room for them. Read more

This policy proposal is absolutely ludicrous. One of the best things about bike lanes in Toronto is they seem the be the only infrastructure that can actually be implemented quickly. Bike lanes save lives. We do NOT need to be prioritizing cars in ANY way. Read more

I strongly disagree with this proposed legislation. Whether to install a local bike lane should be firmly within the jurisdiction of municipalities, without provincial interference. Read more

I am disappointed that on Bill 212, the government is not being conservative. Instead of making prudent, thoughtful, evidence decisions in collaboration with local stakeholders to solve the very real problems that exist with congestion, it mostly reads like a political ploy. Schedule 2/3: Read more

I am appalled and disgusted at the way this act tries to sneak through an exemption for environmental regulations for highway 413. This isn’t about bike lanes at all. It’s about speeding up the building of a highway nobody wants to better serve the Premiere’s rich developer friends. Read more

Doug Ford and the Conservative party plans to tear out new bike lanes in Toronto (and other cities) is not only fiscally wasteful, it's downright dangerous. I, and tens of thousands of others, daily use bike lanes to get to work, which means we are one less car on the road, reducing congestion. Read more
