I strongly support the removal of bicycle Lanes on major arteries that are causing traffic congestion. Back in the '70s, the city of Toronto started a program of developing bicycle routes running parallel to major arteries on secondary roads that did not impact traffic flow. Read more

I'm deeply concerned about the province meddling in the affairs of cities and overriding local decisions to remove infrastructure, and about overriding environmental protections to force through a highway project. None of these things will solve congestion. Read more

This article leads the reader to believe that it is only about bike lanes; however, reading a more detailed article reveals that it is much more sinister. https://www.ola.org/en/legislative-business/bills/parliament-43/session-1/bill-212 Concerning quotes: Read more

Strongly support. The main concern which does not appear in any analysis is the impact of adding bike lanes on major thoroughfares to the ability of emergency vehicles to carry out their tasks. Have seen numerous emergency vehicles stranded by grid lock.

I fully support the proposal. I believe that some of the bike lanes were installed without proper consultation of the effected neighborhoods nor with valid assessments of their impact.

If you really want to get people where they need to go more quickly -- and, of course, with the least amount of disruption to the natural world -- you need to get people out of their cars and into eco-clean, modern, cost-effective public transit. And also EXPAND bike lanes. Read more

This bill will worsen traffic by taking away choices for people to get around, and attack those who don’t have the means to get around by car. It also is a complete overstep of the provincial government. Are there not more important things for this government to fix within its actual jurisdiction? Read more

We should allow bikes to use sidewalks not reduce car lanes. Reducing car lanes increases gridlock and emissions. The numbers of cars will not reduce and we need to plan our infrastructure around scalability. If you take it away lanes you can’t add them back

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 Read more

Ontario needs to rethink the design of our city to revolve around individual vehicles. Reliable public transit and safe transportation to bike are vital for us to evolve sustainability. Gridlock is the problem. Solve it with a real sustainable solution. Step 1 is bike lanes.

My vote is to support Bill 212. A small group of zealots, in the community and at city hall have already spent millions of taxpayer dollars to compromise our movements and make some important parts of the city outrageously ugly. Read more

Removing bike lanes to improve traffic has got to be one of the most shortsighted, backward moves from a government determined to push back against environmental progress. By not creating cities that accommodate cyclists, we are committing to a future of more cars and more gridlock. Read more

Bike lanes create a safe space for cyclists to access the city. Not only do they keep the road organized and safer for cyclists, drivers and pedestrians, they promote clean, carbon free transportation. This is a growing necessity as the climate crisis continues to worsen. Read more

In 2024 while we are deep into a climate crisis and multiple public health crises including those related to obesity and mental health, we should be doing everything we can to encourage active transportation in all municipalities. Read more
