The proposed framework is regressive policy that is inconsistent with the Province's own recently updated Provincial Policy Statement which promotes active transportation and compact built form (including walkable neighbourhoods with destinations easily accessible by transit and active transportatio Read more

Removing bike lanes won’t magically solve traffic problems. While it might temporarily ease congestion, it comes at the cost of increased car use, more accidents, and ultimately worse traffic in the long run. This isn’t about being anti-car—it’s about having choices. Read more

Every person on a bike is not in a car. After years of building an infrastructure the cycling commuters have finally come and this would undo years of getting people out of their vehicles.

Getting rid of bike lanes is a terrible idea! It will only lead to more cars on the road and more traffic, and less safety for cyclists. It will decrease foot traffic for businesses. Read more

This is the next gen of travel and this move is shortsighted (and an over-reach) by the provincial government to impact municipalities. We are hoping to bring people to the city and create safe means of travel amongst our streets. Not create gridlock!

I strongly oppose Bill 212 and urge the province to withdraw the proposed amendments, which prioritize motor vehicle traffic over public safety, increase costs for taxpayers, undermine local decision-making, and threaten environmental protection. 1. Cyclist Safety Concerns Read more

I'm writing to express my disagreement with this bill. Several aspects, including the expropriation of land and ignoring of environmental assessments for the construction of highway 413, are especially concerning. Read more

This is a ridiculous proposal which solves nothing and costs a vast sum of taxpayers' money. Converting bike lanes to regular traffic lanes won't solve any traffic congestion. Hundreds of cities worldwide have already proven that increasing the number of lanes shall not reduce commute time. Read more

I am a Toronto citizen, and I am strongly opposed to this proposal for the following reasons: 1. Bike lanes do not cause gridlock or traffic congestion. The attached article cites several studies that speak to this point. Read more

I support the removal of the framework for bike lanes that require removal of a traffic lane. I live south of Bloor St West and just west of Royal York Road. I commuted on a bike for 15 years prior to getting a car beginning in the late 1980's. Read more

1,018 people have died in traffic crashes in Toronto since 2006. I am writing to voice my opposition to Bill 212 - "Reducing Gridlock, Saving You Time Act", 2024. As proposed, Bill 212 threatens to undermine public health, safety, and efforts to combat both climate change and congestion. Read more

20 November 2024 I agree with the purpose of Bill 212, to bring an end to the City of Toronto's crazy campaign to create surface-level bike lanes, carved out of motor road lane and parking space. Read more

I strongly oppose this proposal. Removing bike lanes in our city is a costly step backwards. Not only will it significantly waste tax payer dollars, it will cost human safety, mobility, and livability in this city. Read more

i do not support highway 413 and the discouragement and removal of bike lanes, as both of these would increase congestion by placing more cars (or even bikes) on the road. I believe investments should instead be made into public transit and intercity rail systems. Read more
