Bill 212 is overbroad, and reactive policy that risks serious harm to the environment, the rights of property owners facing expropriation, and the safety of cyclists.

Bill 212 is obviously a political ploy to score points and undercut Toronto.
"Traffic" is NOT a good thing. Putting more of it back in our city helps no-one.

Dear Premier Ford,
I would like to express my dismay about Bill 212. This widely unpopular proposed legislation would be an extreme overreach into municipal jurisdiction. It goes against science, which overwhelmingly shows bike lines in fact reduce traffic, not cause it (1,2).

Remove the bicycle lanes on Bloor and Yonge and University. They are mostly unused, create congestion, and they are actually dangerous to cyclists. They will never be used in the winter.
Put bicycle lanes in sensibly. They should go on secondary routes.
I am pleased to provide comments on behalf of the City of Mississauga regarding the Government of Ontario’s proposed Bill 212 “Reducing Gridlock, Saving You Time Act, 2024” and the proposed framework for bike lanes that require removal of a traffic lane.

I’m in full agreement of this proposal and I’m very hopeful it will actually be implemented.
Huge thanks to the provincial government for stepping up.

I approve of the removal of the bike lanes. No referendum was taken in their implementation. They have caused difficulties, financial hardship and massive, unnecessary inconvenience. Emergency Services are delayed. Seniors cannot get around as much or as easily. Driver frustration is huge.

This bill will be a disaster if it goes through. The city wont be the same. We’ll still have cyclists like me but they’ll have to ride unsafely. I’ve been hit by a car before and I don’t want to experience that ever again. This is a giant step back, please do not do this.
As a parent and resident of Toronto who has used and benefitted from the careful planning and implementation of bicycle infrastructure, I'm flabbergasted by this bill's proposition that bike lanes are a problem.

The proposed changes to the law will put cyclists in harm's way and will not accomplish the stated goal of reducing motor vehicle traffic congestion.

I do not agree with this approach and proposal. We need more non-vehicle infrastructure to alleviate gridlock. Bike lanes and bike infrastructure are part of that.

I am opposed to Bill 212 inappropriately titled “Reducing Gridlock, Saving You Time Act, 2024 - Framework for bike lanes that require removal of a traffic lane.”

I commute 100% by bicycle year round. Without bike lanes, I’m at significantly increased risk of injury or death due to cars. My health and safety is being politicized; bike lanes must remain intact and continue to develop for the good of all Torontonians.
The update to Bill 212 that would see the province weighing in on the creation of proposed bike lanes and the insistence on the removal of existing bike lanes in municipalities throughout Ontario is irresponsible and damaging to public safety, traffic management, environment and health outcomes, and
