Hello:
I am a 68 year old female living in the centre of Toronto.
I am writing in vehement protest of the removal of any bike lanes in Toronto.

There's no evidence that Highway 413 is going to improve transit times beyond a few minutes, and even that amount will be temporary. In the meantime it's going to waste billions of taxpayer money and wipe out acres of valuable wildlife habitats.

Unjust and uncalled for. Mr Ford and the PCs need to stay in their own backyard and remember they are the governing body for the whole province not just our city.
Finish the Eglinton LRT and fix metrolinx before criticizing our roads. Something about stones in glass houses…
The City of Toronto needs to removes most bike lanes from all major road. For example, the Danforth and Bloor Street lanes contribute to gridlock and ems cannot reach their emergency sites immediately. The Bike lanes contribute to gridlock and it is not an efficient system in the Toronto area.

Bill 212 is a waste of millions of dollars of taxpayer money and bureaucratic overreach. Doug Ford is trying to make his own life better at the expense of countless cyclists and Ontarians.

This bill doesn't address the underlying issues of gridlock. A much better system would be to have alternating one-ways (like in New York and other major cities) so that turning traffic does not snare cars looking to go straight.
Removing bike lanes in Toronto is needlessly expensive, will not improve congestion for drivers, and will put cyclists at risk of death or serious injury. Please reconsider this decision.
My 27 year old son Zachary has Fargile X syndrome, a form of cognitive disability. Zachary has found joy and independence riding his bike to his regular activities in our neighborhood, Leslieville.

It's hard to understand how politicians who don't live downtown, don’t cycle, and somehow still expect to breeze through a major metropolis by car are the ones making decisions to dismantle bike lanes.

I strongly oppose the provincial government adding an extra level of red tape to approving (and keeping existing) bike lanes. The municipal governments are fully capable of making these decisions.

Bill 212 won’t save time—it will only endanger people. I enjoy biking safely on Bloor Street with my child, and taking away bike lanes would make it harder for my family to lower our carbon footprint through daily activities.

I am against this bill for many reasons. First, from a governance point of view, municipalities should decide what are best for them. Bike lanes are a local issue, they should be decided by local politicians.

Our planet is in a state of emergency, and continued inaction will lead to irreparable damage for generations. This bill not only reflects a profound misunderstanding of the climate crisis by our policymakers but also represents an active effort to reverse progress.

- where is the evidence before you do anything?
- subways are under all three routes in Toronto (people have options)
- side streets are not an option for cyclists (Toronto is not a grid, unlike, say Edmonton)
- getting through intersections is the main constraint on traffic

Having bike lane sis a safety measure that cyclists deserve. Cars are not the ONLY means of getting around and we need to encourage transit use as most cars only have 1 person, the driver
I have a strong disagreement with the title of this bill and its contents. I live in Toronto and commute to work 5 days a week on a bicycle. I also use my bike to get around the city for errands, visiting friends and family.

I would like to express my opposition to Bill 212 - Reducing Gridlock, Saving You Time, because this is clearly an overreach of the Provincial responsibilities, and it doesn’t improve traffic or security for citizens of Ontario and its communities.

As a parent and a Torontonian, I can't believe the province wants to remove bike lanes in Toronto - what an egregious example of over-reach. It's a terrible, stupid idea that would decrease road safety. It would put lives at risk. And it would put more cars on the road, increasing road congestion.
