If you want to remove traffic in the city, you need less cars, not less bicycles. Forcing more red tape on the paving of new bike lanes is a huge mistake that is bound to create more traffic and more unsafe conditions for bicyclers.

There's no actual evidence to say more traffic lanes can help with traffic, in fact, there's extensive evidence to the contrary— one of such evidences being that more support and space for bicycles can significanly improve car traffic by both making bikes (which are a space, fuel, and financial savi

As a healthcare worker in a downtown Toronto Hospital: many of our downtown healthcare workers ( nurses, admin staff, mental health workers, environmental workers etc) live and work downtown. Many of us are not high earners.

This is moving in the wrong direction. Why not improve transit and implement a "congestion fee". These tracts will reduce the need for vehicles in traditionally high traffic areas.
In general, moves toward disincentivising alternative modes of transportation are likely to increase car use and car-based traffic congestion, in addition to reducing safety for those able and willing to cycle.

The three major bike lanes along Bloor, Yonge and University Avenues have been game-changers for me as a professional commuter in Toronto in the last few years. I have been commuting to a downtown-core office since 2017, primarily as a cyclist.

hello. regarding the proposal to remove existing bike lanes, and prevent future bike lane in the province of Ontario. I am in favour of bike lanes. They make transportation much safer for cyclists and pedestrians, and prevent automobile accidents.

Bike lanes reduce congestion as more people travel by bike. The safer people feel biking, the more likely they are to use it as transportation. Biking is inexpensive, easy on road infrastructure, and healthier for the body. A healthier population reduces heath care costs.

This is a terrible bill, stripping the ownership of property for high ways is never going to end well. It is impeding our rights as Citizens for the monetary Gain of our premier.
We need to prioritize environmental assessments for all provincial and municipal projects. We cannot forgo them for the construction of another highway.

The way to make roads safer for everyone is to reduce the number of CARS. Every other world class city is working hard to improve cycling infrastructure because it makes it better for everyone, including vehicle drivers. Reducing cycle lanes flies in the face of all solid scientific data.

Real urban gridlock solutions don't involve adding capacity to encourage additional use of private vehicle use. I would so much rather live in an Ontario that fosters a healthy and environmentally sustainable urban culture rather than a failed, unhealthy and unsustainable car centric culture.

This bill is terrible! It is being advertised as a way to reduce congestion by removing bike lanes and preventing new ones from being constructed (which is absurd), but the majority of the bill has nothing to do with that.

Bill 212 - Reducing Gridlock, Saving You Time Act, 2024
I am a home owner (and a bicycle enthusiast) in Guelph. I felt great trepidation and frustration when I read details about this "bill".

I hope the Ontario Government eliminates the bike lanes on major streets and avenues in Toronto. This has been a nightmare for business and driving around the city. I no longer spend money in Toronto, where I live, but leave the city to get things done, go to restaurants and parks.

Do not remove the bike lane on Bloor Street and the University. I used them every day to get to work. It is much safer to bike with bike lanes. Biking is the quickest way to get around. Removing will make those road unsafe to bike on
