Please do not exempt highway 413 from the Environmental Assessment Act. More research and understanding is a good thing that should not be ignored. We live in a country that values and takes pride in the environment and our government should reflect that.

I am someone who drives to the nearest TTC station, I rely on both my car and public transit to safely get to work everyday and I believe we need to build BETTER and MORE protected bikes lanes…NOT TO REMOVE THEM.

The addition of highway lanes does not solve the issue of traffic. Bike lanes both support pedestrian mobility and mobility for those without the ability or desire to use cars.

The only way to reduce gridlock is get less cars on roads. Investing in public transportation, active transportation is better for the environment, health, and mental health.

Strongly against the bill. Removing bike lanes cost unecessary taxpayer dollars, and does not remove gridlock - as soon as it is taken off mere 700 more cars per hour will completely congest the other lane and traffic will be just as bad.

It is absolutely baffling that the provincial government considers removing and restricting bike lanes as an effective method for reducing congestion.

I’m a long-time driver, and it makes sense for us to support bike lanes. I got my driver’s license at 16 to drive to school. I’ve lived most of my life in suburbs. I needed my car to get to work, shops, and activities.

Instead of spending resources to tear out existing (and newly built) bike lanes, invest in schools, childcare, senior care, and affordable housing.

I thought this was a joke at first. Anyone tied to the attempt of removing or trying to remove bike lines should be fired and ashamed to be a public servant. This city needs progressive and sustainable thinking to set itself apart from other cities.

I want to express my strong opposition to Doug Ford's bill to remove bike lanes. As a daily cyclist, I rely on these lanes to ensure the safety of myself and my family during our commutes.

This appears to be one of the most grossly corrupt actions taken to date by this government, by stirring up controversy surrounding bike lanes, interfering in a way essentially unheard of in municipal matters, as a way to distract from quickly sidestepping approvals for a highway known to benefit pe

Bike lanes are essential infrastructure. They save lives. Municipalities should have the power to make their neighbourhoods safer without asking permission from the province.
I use my car much more often than my bike because many roads are a deathtrap for cyclists. Removing options for non-drivers just makes it a requirement for everyone to own a car which isn't helping the rising cost of living.
As a downtown Ottawa resident, I am dismayed that this government is proposing a review and potential removal of existing bike lanes, including the protected bike lanes on O’Connor Street.

As a lifelong resident of Ontario I am deeply offended by the paternalistic micro-managing at the heart of this proposal for municipalities to require provincial approval before making decisions about the installation of bike lanes in their communities.

I have voted Conservative in the past, and you will lose my vote with this legislation. This decision is going to kill people and worsen congestion. Do not pass this legislation.
