Bike lanes play a crucial role in our Ontario's transportation network. I am highly concerned about this bill, namely schedule 4, and the adverse affects that removing bike lanes from major Toronto streets will have. These adverse affects include: Read more

Why is everything on this bill absolutely horrible for the tax payer? Section 1: Province can destroy my property without asking for a monopolized industry to profit? Section 2: Takes away my ability to apply for an extension if the province takes my property? Read more

Bill 212 is a bill that is disingenuously centered around the hot topic of bike lanes and harmful enough on that front, but is also over-broad and providing cover for bulldozing Highway 413 and the Bradford Bypass through any opposition and regardless of the cost to the environment or owners of the Read more

The 401 (and DVP) are horrible walls of traffic, with the occasional deadly crash mixed in. The government of Ontario should be taking care of highways, not meddling with city roads. Read more

I strongly oppose Bill 212, the "Reducing Gridlock, Saving You Time Act, 2024," as it undermines local autonomy, disregards evidence-based urban planning, and threatens the progress made in fostering safer, more sustainable, and equitable cities. Read more

I do not agree with this bill as it impedes more qualified officials who understand Toronto's infrastructure better from doing their jobs. It also has many questionable proposals, that for lack of a better term feel predatory towards fellow Ontarians. Read more

I’m angry that the provincial government would think it’s ok to remove existing bike lanes. You really want more pedestrians and cyclists killed? Also, building highways or tunnels that destroy or jeopardize our Green Belt is so short sighted. Read more

The city should not be designed for car dominance. Urbanists and city dwellers have collectively learned this decades ago. Removing existing bike lanes is a mistake, moving Toronto backwards rather than into the future. Bike lanes are a green and cheap way to get around the city. Read more

Investments in robust public transit systems should take precedence over new highway developments. Public transit not only reduces congestion but also provides a more sustainable and equitable transportation option for all residents, including those who cannot or choose not to drive. Read more

The reason why these bike lanes were put in place was to have a healthier lifestyle with fresh air and exercise. We are told that safety and the environment were top priorities and there was a lot of research done beforehand. What happened was that they showed up one day without any notice. Read more

As a driver, I do not support Bill 212. Removing bike lanes will lead to a number of disadvantages, the two most important ones being less safe ways to bike = more people in cars = more congestion. Read more

My family and I use the Bloor St bike lane everyday to and from school and extra curricular activities. I can't even begin to imagine not having this protected bike way keeping us away from car traffic. Read more

I strongly oppose the bill that proposes the removal of bike lanes from our heavily congested area. Numerous studies have consistently demonstrated the immense benefits that bike lanes bring to both safety and the environment. Read more

Where are the studies to show that it is better for more traffic in the downtown core? It is safer for pedestrians, cyclists, and car users to have slower traffic and reduce injuries/deaths. Read more
