Removing the bike lanes will make my life worse. Destroying the Greenbelt with an unnecessary highway will make all of our children's lives worse. This bill may change my voting patterns forever.

We need bike lanes as everything is becoming more expensive, more people will choose to travel by other forms instead of car. These bike lanes offer safety for those who chose their means of travel through biking. Destroying the bike lanes would be an inefficient way of spending govt money

I do not support skipping environmental impact assessments for projects like this. I do not support the government being able to use or take my land without my consent or with little time to prepare.

On: PART XII - MUNICIPAL BY-LAWS AND BICYCLE LANES The province knows that active transportation and alternate forms of transportation including bicycles does not affect vehicular traffic or restrict flow- vehicular traffic causes gridlock. Read more

The existing bikes lanes in this city should not be removed. The people of our city rely on these existing bike lanes to travel safely every day. Everything must be done to keep the bike lanes.

Totally opposed to bike lanes on Bloor St. They are an unmitigated disaster. I regularly observe mid-morning bumper-to-bumper eastbound traffic stretching onto the Humber Bridge. All that carbon monoxide from basically parked cars spewing into our air. Read more

I drive all over the city of Toronto every day for work, and I LIKE the bike lanes! They stay in their lane, I stay in mine, and I don't have to feel nervous that I'm going to accidentally hit anyone. Put money into fixing the HUGE problems with the TTC and more people will use it. Read more

As a road user who primarily cycles and occasionally drives or takes transit to make a living I find it absurd that this bill proposes to reduce bike lanes. This is infrastructure that ensures safety and also reduces congestion. Read more

I think more should be done to educate people about traffic flow and understanding what it means to be part of an expanding city. Having alternative modes of transportation should be top priority for the province. Ensuring people can reliably get from place to place is at the top of my mind. Read more

This bill is wasteful and disrespectful to the people (taxpayers) of Ontario. Highway 413 will cost $10 billion or more and offer at best marginal benefits to a small number of commuters (far from "millions"). Read more

The data doesn't align on this issue with the proposed actions. Wider roads mean more cars. The speed of the road will normalize based on the inconvenience factor. Read more

I am deeply opposed to Bill 212 - Reducing Gridlock, Saving You Time Act, 2024, especially the framework that would allow for the removal of bike lanes to reinstate traffic lanes. Since arriving in Canada nearly two years ago, the Bloor Street bike lane has been a vital part of my daily life. Read more

Do not pass this bill into law, there are too many loops holes created that would allow the provincial government to infringe on land rights and bypass vital assessments. Vital assessments that would no longer be mandatory is environmental protection, land use and ownership. Read more

I am opposed to Bill 212 – Reducing Gridlock, Saving You Time Act. I believe this act is regressive and will not have the desired effects of reducing gridlock or saving time. Read more

instead of spending money removing things you've already spent money installing, introduce tolls for entering the city via cars (Torontonians exempted) but combined with many fast transit options around the city giving people a convenient alternative to avoid the toll and enter the city. Read more

Bike lanes at important and the future. We should be making it easier to commute without a car, not harder. This is a waste of money and these bike lanes are likely go back in eventually causing a double waste of money.

I do not support this proposal. Research indicates that the more traffic lanes that are put in, the more it appeals to people who may not otherwise have chosen to drive, thereby putting more cars on the roads and increasing congestion. Read more
