The removal of bike lanes included in this bill is a giant overreach on behalf of the Province. Top-down policies like these are not in the best interest of the local communities; Municipalities know what is best for their local community.

Please stop wasting tax payer dollars on terrible ideas. This bill will lead to increased congestion on roads and increased harm to road users both cyclist and drivers alike. Read more

I live in west end of Downtown Toronto and go into the office everyday. As more office workers are moving to back to in office work, commuting experience will become more important. Read more

I am against Ontario Bill 212 (Reducing Gridlock, Saving You Time Act, 2024) for several critical reasons. The proposal to remove bike lanes as a means of reducing traffic congestion is fundamentally flawed and unsupported by evidence. Read more

This proposal is the stupidest, most short-sighted proposal from a monumentally stupid and short-sighted government. There are mountains of well-researched evidence that bike lanes are not a significant contributor to congestion in Toronto. Read more

Bike lanes do not cause congestion. They relieve congestion and save lives. Why not get rid of sidewalks too while you're at it and you may even be able to squeeze in an extra car lane. Way to go Ontario.

The proposal will not in fact save anyone time. All modern cities have bike infrastructure. Data available from cities Toronto would like to emulate proves that safe biking infrastructure is critical to human safety, efficient movement of goods and people, and reducing gridlock. Read more

Please do not remove the bike lanes. Bike lanes are ultimately about two things 1) safety 2) easing congestion. The more alternatives there are to driving, the less congestion there is (bike lanes take up little space per person, 1 person in a car takes up a lot of space). Read more

Bike lanes save lives and have local business support. Without major investment in public transit, limiting bike lanes only serves a small portion of the population. Read more

This proposal is ludacris for so many reasons and is a gross overstepping of established roles and responsibilities between the Province and City. The Province should not be dictating how a local municipality allocates road space, especially for vulnerable users. Read more

The removal of bikelanes will have a minimal if any impact on traffic as supported by the minister's own study. But will result in many deaths, and a massive waste of tax payer money.

Removing these bike lanes is short sighted and will only make traffic worse. Less people biking is more people in cars. Traffic comes from cars, not bikes. Cars are not viable as the dominant transportation method in a dense city. Read more

I use these bike lanes daily to commute safely to work. By giving Torontonians options to bike safely instead of driving, these bike lanes are reducing gridlock already. Read more

This bill will not help congestion and is an affront to governmental and democratic Canadian norms. This bill shows is a blatant and outrageous interference in a municipal domain. Why should provincial focus and funds be directed to such a narrow purpose of bike lanes? Read more
