This bill will promote the usage of private motorized vehicles within urban and suburban communities. This is unreasonable, short-sighted and poor public policy. Read more

Ripping out existing road infrastructure that keeps vulnerable road users safe is fiscally and morally reprehensible, and takes our society and our care for each other many steps backwards. Read more

Bike lanes are not causing the gridlock. We need reliable and frequent public transit in combination with other non car modes of transportation. The local government is best situated to deal with the traffic questions. Read more

I think this is dangerous. Most people who live in Toronto use bike lanes and it does speed up traffic with taking cars off the road. I often see bikes lanes packed downtown. If people complain like drives those are people who don’t live downtown. Read more

This proposed act does nothing to protect the lives and well-being for all road users. In fact, it denies a municipality's right to decide on transportation solutions that work best for its situations. Read more

Increased access to high quality traffic alternatives are key to lowering gridlock. Safe & plentiful bike lanes, and reliable transit reduce reliance on car trips. Reducing gridlock and making transportation safer and greener in the long term.

I'm a citizen of southwestern Ontario, a region largely forgotten about by provincial governments time and time again. We only get thought of when it comes to manufacturing or transportation, never peoples daily lives. Read more

This is ridiculous, we need more bike lanes and less cowtowing to motorists. If we want to reduce carbon emissions and go green, give us better safer routes to use bicycles and other no motorized methods of transportation.

In September 2011 I broke a leg for the second time while cycling on a Toronto street, this time on the corner of Clifton Road and St. Clair East, while avoiding a broken neck on the back of a moving van parked far too close to the intersection. Read more

I want the bike lanes on Bloor (and every other street) to be retained, enlarged, emboldened and to have better intersection priority and education so all road users learn how to walk-ride-drive without harming each other. Read more

I think that the Provincial Government is overstepping its bounds on this proposal. Telling Municipalities what they can/cannot do on their own Municipal roads is overstepping. Read more

The changes proposed by Bill 212 belie a fundamental misunderstanding of the transportation and housing challenges currently faced by Ontario municipalities. Read more
