Our future depends on cities who care for our cyclists.
Cyclists are caring for our cities by reducing harmful emissions.
They deserve safety and respect. Supporting them will encourage more people to cycle. Cycling is a win for everyone!
This is a massive waste of money to undo projects that were paid for and needed. It's also a gross neglect of our environment, for highways that aren't proven to be a solution to the problems.
The Ford government is getting it wrong on so many levels. When will they realize that more, not less, bike lanes as well as safety and support for those who elect alternative methods of transportation (more environmentally friendly methods) are the answer to road congestion.

I strongly oppose the removal of bike lanes for the following reason:
Street parking is not moving traffic along whereas bike lanes are constantly allowing for movement of people
Sustainability - there is no air pollution from cyclists

- Removing bike lanes will endanger my life and those of my loved ones
- Research has repeatedly shown that widening roads makes congestion worse
- We need to dramatically reduce carbon emissions, and encouraging people to bike is an important part of this reduction

As a citizen who lives near the danforth, and a first responder who also had to deal with the congestion on the Danforth, I approve of moving the bike lanes off main roads and move them to less busy streets.
Ontario's Reducing Gridlock, Saving You Time Act, which aims to improve transportation infrastructure and reduce traffic congestion, is a proposal that may sound promising on the surface, but upon closer examination, it reveals several flaws that could worsen the problem it seeks to address and ulti

Removing bike lanes will making biking in the city even more dangerous. Day after day we hear about cyclists and pedestrians being struck by drivers, why are we removing crucial infrastructure to make the streets even more dangerous?

I don't appreciate the stripping of more of our social infrastructure and car-free modes of transportation in a city that is already poorly maintained and funded in all areas (except the police). We need better and safer bike lanes, and more of them--not less.

I am opposed to this bill. It is not something that should be applied to all municipalities in Ontario. I feel the Ontario Conversative Government is quite short sighted when it comes to this.

I have previously submitted my longer submissions on why the bike lane proposal is both a poor idea and a clear example of provincial overreach.

Bike lanes should be a priority and is the main mode of transit for many people. They should be raised and next to the sidewalk, Furthermore an exemption from the Environment Assessment Act, is asinine.

I think it's an absolute disgrace. I am now planning on driving my car through downtown Toronto daily instead of biking. How is that going to help your grid lock/traffic problem?
Bill 212 is unfit to tackle the root causes of traffic gridlock. Time and time again more highways and increased highway capacity does not resolve gridlock. Removal of bike lanes removes options for everyone in the province and reinforces driving as a default transportation mode.

I am a cyclist who follows the rules of the road by stopping etc., I cycle responsibly to be predictable to others, in particular, cars around me. I also drive and walk in these same areas.

I'm writing to express my strong opposition to Bill 212 - Reducing Gridlock, Saving you Time Act and specifically the proposed restrictions on municipal authority to implement bike lanes.

Decreasing the ability to have bike lanes is a self-fulfilling prophecy. All major cities in the world invest in more bike infrastructure to improve traffic, decrease accidents and contribute to the environment.

I very strongly oppose Bill 212 for several reasons:
• The portion giving the Province the right to overrule municipalities in their decisions around bike lanes is an unacceptable usurpation of municipal jurisdiction. The Province has no business making these decisions.
