I am writing to express my strong opposition to Bill 212. Bike lanes are essential for saving lives and play a crucial role in our transportation mix. They promote the use of bicycles, which is a key component of active transportation—the future of urban mobility.

Stop government over reach! Stop bullying our cities and get your finger out of city council's pie!! Your bloated expensive big government politics reek of wasteful government practices. Expensive boondoggles like this have taken down stronger governments.

Having strong biking infrastructure means less traffic and less pollution. I would bike everywhere if I wasn’t afraid of being hit by a car, because only some roads have proper bike lanes. Cars are already constantly parking in bike lanes, or they’re blocked with construction, making it unsafe.

Why must we keep on insisting on going backwards. They’ve done studies the data is there from numerous different sources. You don’t fix congestion by removing bike lanes, in fact that’s how you increase congestion. Just listen to the data and move forward.

I am a conservative voter and cyclist, this Bill makes no sense to me. It comes at a significant cost to the taxpayer and increases risk to the thousands of people who use alternative modes of transportation to get around the city.

The province’s transportation plan is essentially to spend billions to promote the use of cars the most inefficient, highly polluting and costly form of transportation. Result is gridlock. There will never be enough asphalt.

The passing of Bill 212, specifically the Reducing Gridlock, Saving You Time Act, 2024 (RGSYTA) and the Building Highways Faster Act, 2024 (BHFA), is not just a misguided step toward ineffective transportation solutions; it represents an alarming overreach of provincial power and a total lack of acc

Removing bike lanes makes no sense in a city. If everyone drive their car, we would have infinite traffic. Providing viable alternatives like public transit and safe cycling infrastructure reduces car traffic, reduces air pollution, and increases health and safety.

The lives that will put at risk because of the removal and absence of bike lanes are more important that the inconvenience any of these lanes put on drivers. Promoting and protecting non-driving forms of transportation is needed to support growing cities and ensuring they are sustainable.
As a resident of downtown Toronto, I see that cyclists do use their bike lanes all day long, but especially during the rush hours.
Cyclists are very vulnerable to motor traffic; so many cars now are huge SUV's with high noses, and I wonder if the drivers can even see properly over the hoods.

I find it hard to be patient and level-headed when dealing with an issue such as this. The removal of Bike Lanes is not only illogical but also stems from a concerning degree of stubbornness and narrow minded beliefs.

While the intention behind Bill 212 may be to create more sustainable transportation options, the approach of removing critical traffic lanes to install bike lanes is misguided, and risks exacerbating the very issues it seeks to resolve.

Hello my name is Glenn I’m a designer and cyclist born, raised and still living in Etobicoke. The major bike lanes on Bloor St. have made me feel much safer during my commutes and now allow me to now take the quickest route when travelling downtown.

Complete abuse of power that undermines the very integrity of our democracy while making streets more dangerous. This bill will directly contribute to the death and injury of thousands of road users in Ontario.
This bill will negatively affect the citizens of Ontario. It will make it harder to travel within our communities, harm our health, needlessly destroy habitats, make housing more expensive, and worsen the climate crisis.

Bike lanes save lives and the only way to increase the speed at which people move through Ontario is through investing in ALL forms of movement, not just more car lanes. Not only is cycling a sustainable mode of transportation, it is healthier for those biking and those not biking.
