Stop building Highway 413, it isn't important to millions of drivers as claimed. That area is protected land for a reason and fertile farmland is a rare and extremely precious commodity to Ontario and to the current and future populations. Read more

Absolutely not! This is ridiculous! Please stop wasting my tax dollars to spend MORE MONEY to rip out necessary infrastructure that was JUST INSTALLED. How dare you?!? Bike lanes reduce traffic. Bike lanes are good for the environment. Bike lanes make for a healthy society. Read more

This Bill does serve the majority of the public! It is to serve the 1% of the entitled who seem to have the loudest voices. The bike lanes serve a purpose of providing safe alternative mode of transportation and it SLOWS down traffic so it is safe for cyclists AND pedestrians. Read more

I have commuted by car daily along Bloor st for the past 9 years. I can confidently say that traffic and congestion has not become any worse since the bloor bike lanes have been installed, and may have even improved due to consistent lane sizes and lack of pinch points. Read more

This bill is inane and harmful. More roads and highways increase gridlock, not decrease it. Adding bike lanes makes it safer for everyone and allows for a new, green method of transportation. I thought this government said they didn't like red tape. A fine example of petty provincial overreach.

I think it is embarrassing that this is even being considered. I am all for analyzing whether future bike lanes are viable, but ripping up existing bike lanes is moronic and a colossal waste of time and tax money. Read more

Bike lanes reduce danger to cyclists and improve traffic flow as cyclists do not have to take up lanes. Removing these bike lanes is not an intelligent idea. It will lead to more people being killed and worse conditions for everyone. This is utterly pointless.

I am strongly opposed to Bill 212. If this passes, the removal of bike lanes and the restrictions on new bike lanes will directly result in the death of Ontarians who bike in our cities, and make our roads less safe for everyone, drivers included.

I've been cycling in Toronto for about 4 years now since the pandemic and the bike lanes that have been added have been immensely helpful in protecting me with physical barrier from Cars. Read more

Local municipalities should oversee the safety of our streets, while the Ministry of Transportation focuses on highways and regional roads. We elect local representatives to make these decisions, not provincial MPPs. This law prioritizes efficiency over safety. Read more

I am strong opposed to this bill. Costly removal of bike lanes and taking decisions out of the hand of the municipalities they effect is a terrible idea and will not help with gridlock. Read more
