I am writing to express my strong opposition to Bill 212, specifically the provisions related to the Highway 413 Act, 2024, and the proposed restrictions on municipal authority to implement bike lanes. Read more

I do not support this framework. I drive everyday, I would love to rely on other modes of transportation, such as biking. I would bike more if there was more infrastructure surrounding biking, and I would feel much safer having access to bike lanes. Read more

Please move forward and remove these bike lanes plus add Eglinton Ave W to the list. Not only will it help congestion on the roads but will make the streets safer. The design of these bike lanes are so dangerous for the bikers (not many of them) and the drivers of the cars. Read more

The provincial government should not interfere with the jurisdiction of municipalities to specify their infrastructure. They know best what is locally desired and appropriate. This includes the desire of the province to remove bike lanes and increase motor vehicle capacity. Read more

I am a Toronto resident, been living here almost 20 years, and I am writing in opposition to this proposal.  If the Province wants to reduce gridlock - encourage more people to choose biking or public transit, especially for short inner-city trips.  Read more

This is an embarrassing proposal by the PCs. In this day and age how can you still be thinking cars are the top priority of provincial government? Doug Ford is still acting like a city councillor. The over reach is laughable. Read more

I am a Toronto resident and in full support of the current bike lane infrastructure and the growth of infrastructure supporting bike lanes. Bike lanes are proven to keep cyclists safe. Bike lanes enable more people to take up cycling and stay off the roads. Read more

I'm very concerned about this plan to override municipal expertise, local decision-making, and local democracy, specifically in the case of bike lanes. Only a small percentage of urban roads in Ontario have bike lanes, and traffic is congested in countless areas where there are no bike lanes. Read more

The gridlock caused by the bike lanes is unbearable. I can’t turn right or left out of my condo driveway onto Bloor St W at Old Mill and the upcoming TTC project to install elevators in the subway will further add to the chaos. Something must be done - please.

I am firmly opposed to Ontario Bill 212 (Reducing Gridlock, Saving You Time Act, 2024). This legislation’s proposal to remove bike lanes as a strategy to alleviate traffic congestion is fundamentally misguided and lacks substantial evidence to support its effectiveness. Read more

Everything about this bill is terrible, and it should not pass. Municipalities are best suited for determining their local transportation network. Hwy413, or any project should not be exempt from environmental regulations. Read more

I want to comment on several wrongdoings that will be caused by this bill to be passed. First of all the distraction: Bike lanes. Removing them will not improve the gridlock traffic in Toronto. Read more

The proposal is ridiculous. You have a moral obligation to make a better decision here. You have all the information in front of you and every person in this province. You have wasted our money to create this ludicrous proposal. BIKE LANES SAVE LIVES! Read more
