As an Ontarian raised in Milton, living in Toronto and recreating often in areas near the proposed highway 413 and Bradford Bypass, I am opposed to these projects.

Rename this the "Ontario Needs More Dead Cyclists and Traffic Causing Accidents Act"
Ontarians aren't stupid. Bike lanes aren't an issue. Stay in your (provincial) lane.

it literally makes the street safer for bike riders who don’t have, can’t afford or simply choose not to drive to and from a destination.
the space the lanes take up does not affect the space cars need to drive on the roads its like a 2m buffer. how does this accommodate cars?

It is long past time to put a stop to the bicycle lane idiocy that is crppling Toronto. Every member of our downtown hosehold urges the provincial government to legislate removal of these lanes on major thoroughfares and set up a process to evaluate all remaining lanes as to their utility.
The proposed framework is a backwards approach to transportation. We need diverse modes of transportation if we’re going to address our greenhouse gas emissions. Many people don’t feel safe without bike lanes (for good reason), so preventing new lanes will stop those people from cycling.

This is a terrible bill that will do nothing to improve traffic. When 60% of workers at sick kids use bike lanes to get to work imagine how much worse traffic will be if all of those employees drive to work. It's bad for all of the condos built and underconstruction with little to no parking.

I am a resident if the city of Toronto. Bike lanes are public infrastructure that get people in the city moving. Having them on major roads makes our commercial strips vibrant, accessible to all commuters, and safer for pedestrians, cyclists and drivers alike.

As a car owner, I ask that the government reconsider these proposals. It’s a waste of time and taxpayer money to review and remove existing bike lanes, and a further waste of time and money to require provincial approval to make new bike lanes.

I do not support the removal of Toronto bike lanes. That is a municipal issue which should be handled by the City of Toronto, without provincial interference.
I’m an environmental scientist, currently researching environmental design in urban areas. Historically, increasing the number of lanes for cars has never reduced traffic. This year, an extremely warm fall and a summer of flooding served as stark reminders of climate change.

I am strongly opposed to the proposal being advanced by the government.
I am a Toronto resident, and have been since 2011. I was a student in the city from 2011 until 2018, in both my undergraduate and in law school. I practice as a lawyer.

Bike lanes are important for everyone. They absolutely not what caused traffic a simple Google search and tell you that. This is a city not a highway privatize the people and their safety not cars!

This is a bill that will have the effect of easing gridlock in the city and ensure there are safe routes for cyclists. I fully support this initiative.
/As a Toronto resident who travels by car, bike, and transit, this proposal makes me worried for all road users in the city and for taxpayers.

I am writing regarding Bill 212 - Reducing Gridlock, Saving You Time Act, 2024. Despite the name of the bill, the bill would accomplish the complete opposite: It will end up increasing the congestion of cars on the road, and will end up costing Ontarians time stuck in traffic.
