Clearly the “Saving You Time” act is not meant to save taxpayers time, but to save the government time by completely bypassing the Environmental Regulations Act in building the useless 413. This is disgusting.
I use the bike lanes all the time downtown. They make me feel safe and I love the ones in Adelaide especially with the timed left hand turns for cars.
Please do not remove them. And please stop micromanaging out of your jurisdiction. Not cool.
I respectfully ask that the Ontario government withdraw Bill 212 that would block municipality's (including the city of Ottawa's) ability to make the best decisions for their people.

No. We don’t need drivers to get where they want to go faster. We need a shift in culture where biking is the norm. Getting more bike lanes quickly and easily with municipal government means healthier and safer individuals, communities and planet. Keep it local.
I am a daily biker in Toronto and a car owner. I regularly take congestion off the road. I would like to bike to work and outings without fear of injury or death.

Can’t believe you want to prioritize drivers, cars and highways. This is 2024 and climate change is real. Do more to make people want to bike safely and effectively. Make biking more accessible.

I am a 22-year-old cyclist and I rely on bike lanes to safely get myself to and from work, school, the grocery store, my friends' houses, family, appointments, etc.

I am not in favor at all of the Provincial government making decisions for municipalities. We elect our councilors to make local decisions such as bike lanes. Hamilton councilors have listened to cyclists and car users when it comes to installing bike lines.

This proposal is completely misaligned with local, provincial, national and international city building best practices. I’m writing to express strong opposition to this Bill as a car driver living and working downtown Toronto with cottage property within the GTA. We need more not less bike lanes!!

I have driven on University Ave 3-4 times a week, every week, for the last 18 years, while commuting (by car) to work. I am so happy that the bike lanes are there. It makes roads safer for car drivers!

Bike lanes save lives, keep bikes off of sidewalks and help traffic move. If anything we need more bike lanes especially in the central city. I live 2 minutes from a Toronto subway station on Yonge St and the youth and even some adults here have to ride on the sidewalk.

This is a really sad waste of taxpayer money and a veiled distraction to keep the 413 on track. Leave the bike lanes, stop the highway. I don’t/can’t ride a bike and I still believe we need to improve and add more. Nit remove them and throw away my money.
