I strongly disagree with this bill as it is another attempt by Doug Ford expropriate protected Greenbelt land and is a short sighted approach to congestion. It is well researched that more roads create more congestion. Don’t touch the bike lanes or the Greenbelt!
Ontario does not need the 413. It is not going to help. Add more transit please. Add a high speed transit between Toronto kitchener London and windsor.
I’m Mario needs more bike lanes. With more people on bikes there will be less cars and then our goods movement can be better.

I strongly disagree with removing bike lanes in Toronto or not allowing new bike lanes to be added.
I am an avid cyclist in the city and would like to see more bike lanes added as it helps improve safety.

This should not be done - biking is extremely sustainable, reduces traffic and is good for health. We need more bike lanes and accessible transit, not more space for cars which are disasters on almost all fronts. Please help the people and planet by increasing bike lanes instead
The provincial government shouldn't be adding red tape and bureaucracy to slow down local governments trying to increase transportation options. I use bike lanes everyday and consider them essential transportation infrastructure like sidewalks.

Bike lanes are required city infrastructure. Adding bike lanes has been proven worldwide to reduce car traffic and increase city-wide well-being.

This act is meant to reduce gridlock and save time by provincially defining where bike lanes can and can not be installed.
The provincial government should not be adding red tape and bureaucracy to slow down local governments trying to increase safe, and viable transportation options.

I am writing to express my opposition to Ontario Bill 212, a proposal that introduces substantial issues across its provisions for bike lanes and highways. This bill, if passed, would have unintended consequences that impact residents and the environment negatively.

Giving Provincial jurisdiction over municipal road decisions sounds like more "red tape" not less. Also, prioritizing cars over alternative transportation shows a lack of understanding of the real issue surrounding gridlock!
At a time when mental health is a crisis, I’m confused as to why we would encourage alcohol consumption and increased distribution while discouraging fitness for our mental health.

The single biggest contributor to long commutes or congestion is other cars. Research shows that bike lanes can shorten commute times in (at least) two ways.

I oppose Ontario Bill 212 (Reducing Gridlock, Saving You Time Act, 2024) for several critical reasons. Removing bike lanes won’t reduce traffic congestion; studies and historical data have shown that taking away bike infrastructure actually slows traffic and increases gridlock.

I'd appreciate if decisions by the provincial government were made using evidence-based research. There is lots of research showing that gridlock is caused by citizens relying on cars as the only viable form of transportation.

I oppose. Reducing bike lanes won’t improve congestion most of which comes from 905 area. Create a toll/tax for people which drive into the city for work. Improve public transportation. Get your act together with new subway lines.

This bill would hurt my ability to get to work in the only way that I can afford. You should be maintaining and increasing my ability to bike safely because I'm living in a way that makes me healthier and helps me save for the future.

I think that if a vote was taken anywhere the majority of the voters would be in favour of the Anti-congestion Bill !!! I am Totally in Favour of this Anti-congestion Bill !!!
It's absolutely unconscionable to remove bike lanes and to block new bike infrastructure. We need more bike lanes, not less. Myself and my husband travel by bicycle for our daily needs, including commuting to work and getting groceries. So do many of my friends and family.
