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 ult

in Ontario many people use bicycle for their commute and running errands, by removing Bike lanes you only endanger the lives of many many people and you will gain nothing, adding more lane to car traffic only increase the traffic jam, people will stop using bicycle and they'll bring their car out b

It is important to have safe biking infrastructure but the way it was implemented on major thoroughfares resulted in reduced traffic for local businesses, confusing road markings and traffic signals and did not result in noticeably increased bike ridership on these thoroughfares in our most biking

I strongly support and look forward to the enactment of Bill 212. The installed bikelanes have negatively impacted access to the city which should be freely accessible to ALL citizens whether they chose to drive a vehicle, take public transportation, walk or bike.

So 1% of the RECREATIONAL CYCLISTS now own 50% of the road way, and they don't pay taxes or have insurance......yes, that makes perfect sense!
What a joke of our money
Please stop this bill. The bill contains verbiage that allows the government to unilaterally determine if your land is forfeit without invoking the expropriation act. All to make more highways. Make it stop.
Bill 212, and the attached schedules and acts are an extreme over-reach by the provincial government. The provincial government should not be getting involved in the minutiae of lane construction, or municipal traffic management. That is what we elect our municipal councilors and mayors for.

I fully support the Provincial government’s requirement that municipalities obtain permission before installing bike lanes and its authority to remove them at its discretion. This measure ensures accountability and oversight in urban planning decisions that affect the broader population.

The stated objective of this Act is to reduce gridlock, but the proposed measures are demonstrably harmful to public health and safety, accessibility, mobility, environmental protection, and will exacerbate the ongoing climate crisis.

The city has taken upon themselves to reduce the amount of lanes on arterial roads. They are following their own set agenda while completely ignoring the concerns of the majority of people in this city. These are commuters, business owners and emergency services.

I absolutely do not agree or support this new framework that would remove existing and critical bike lanes in the city of Toronto. As a tax-payer of this city, I do NOT want my tax dollars going towards spending more money to remove essential bike lanes that are used by cyclists every single day.

Removing bike lanes will not help with car congestion.
A single bike lane can move more people than a car lane in the same amount of space, especially in dense urban areas.
Bikes take up less space on the road than cars. Encouraging cycling can reduce traffic congestion in busy areas

Removing bike lanes is not the solution to Toronto’s traffic problem! This will only cause the loss of millions of tax payer’s dollars and create unsafe cycling conditions. Ontario has to be better at prioritizing other modes of transportation.

Removal of the bike lanes, particularly on Yonge Street will without any doubt will relieve the burden of the existing traffic congestion. Smooth flow of vehicular traffic will greatly improve the image of the city.
I am dismayed that the Ontario Government would interfere with City of Toronto's action plan to incentivize Toronto residents to use their cars less, stay active and ensure cyclists safety by removing the bike lanes, particularly on the busiest streets - Bloor St, University St and Yonge St - where
