I am strongly opposed to removing or limiting future bike paths in Toronto. This is an over-reach of power by the province, in favour of out-of-towners, and it penalizes the people who live here, maybe because they don’t vote for him. Read more

This legislation is poorly thought out, does not achieve the goal of reducing traffic, and is not evidence-based. Further, it is significant government overreach. I have no interest in the province meddling in my daily commute. Read more

This proposed legislation is a massive overreach, centralizing power that should be devolved to municipalities. Ripping up existing bike lanes is a colossal waste of money and puts vulnerable road users at massive risk while increasing their commute times. Read more

I strongly oppose this motion. More space for cars at the expense of cyclists is not the solution. Many cyclists use bike lanes throughout the warmer months and bike lanes keep them safe! Read more

I am a cyclist in Toronto and dedicated bike lanes make my travel (commuting to work, around the city for errands, and around the city for leisure) safer and more comfortable. The removal of the already installed bike lanes would be a tragic use of scarce tax payer dollars

I don't support wasting money and causing more traffic to remove bike lanes. We need to consider different tactics to manage traffic and removing bike lanes wouldn't solve it., and isn't progressive. There is too many construction tricks fixing tye Gardiner

Bike lanes are absolutely vital to any city, Toronto has far fewer bike lanes than it needs and restrictions on bicycles is not the answer. Better to restrict the cars, increase public transport and improve our city. Read more

I oppose Bill 212, as it undermines municipal authority to prioritize environmentally friendly and safe transportation options like bike lanes. Municipalities are best positioned to make decisions that reduce traffic congestion, cut emissions, and improve road safety. Read more

I do not agree with prioritizing vehicles over vulnerable road users. More bike lanes, transit, and sidewalks should be built before prioritizing movement of personal vehicles. Read more

I oppose Bill 212 because it compromises road safety by limiting municipalities’ ability to design streets that protect cyclists and pedestrians. Local governments are best equipped to implement bike lanes that reduce accidents, calm traffic, and make roads safer for all users. Read more

On the topic of exempting 413 lands from environmental assessments, this is a short-sighted policy that will result in disastrous outcomes for the environment. The area where the highway is intended to be built is environmentally sensitive land. Read more

Bike lanes allow for more people to travel the short distances which are most common to go in cities, reducing congestion. Long distance travel takes place on highways without bikes

You are actively harming the best interests of Ontarians by passing this bill. This bill is not about gridlock and bikelanes, this is about trying to ignore environmental assessments related to building Highway 413, which I do not support. Read more

This legislation is the opposite of what we need going forward. Many research papers along with practical studies support that we need more alternatives to driving. Read more

This is an absolute ridiculous and frankly pathetic excuse at legislation. It is an overreach and absolutely insane attempt that will make our roads less safe and does not make any actual impact on resolving gridlock. If you want to fix traffic why not fix our public transit first. Read more
