This is fundamentally wrong, removing bike lanes will mean that all bikes, as a vehicle, will use lanes that cars use. This will only further cause congestion and cause more gridlock. You need less cars to reduce congestion not more lanes.

The proposed removal of bike lanes on behalf of more car lanes will NOT ease the congestion. However, since the capacity of a single bike lane outcompetes that of a single car lane, the bike lanes have the potential to relieve congestion by effectively reducing the number of cars.

Removing bike lanes increases traffic for drivers.
Please increase public transit options to reduce traffic, rather than trying to tear out bike lanes, which isn't even provincial jurisdiction.
While we're talking, Highway 413 should be replaced by ... public transit!
I do not support the implementation of this Bill.
The bill does not appear to be based on any sound evidence. And it places people on bicycles at major risk by not providing safe infrastructure during bike trips.

It’s unacceptable to waste taxpayer money to ripoff essential biking infrastructure in downtown Toronto.
On a second note, the province must not interfere with a municipality local transit planning and execution.

Bill 212 as proposed to Reduce Gridlock, Saving You Time, Building Highways Faster- fails to commit to critical environmental protection to natural habitat, species at risk, migratory birds and prime agricultural land in the GreenBelt.

Please please PLEASE do not remove the bike lanes that are already installed. It is a tremendous waste of money, and any traffic expert you ask will tell you that traffic expands like a gas, the more room you give cars, the more space they take up.

I am a Toronto resident and extremely opposed to this proposed bill. I do not think that the provincial government and the ministry should override municipal by-laws, particularly without public approval or consultation.

This comment is in regards to the attempt to expedite the process to build highway 413 and for the unwarranted removal of City of Toronto bike lanes.
For highway 413:

I am a voter in Mississauga Lakeshore district with Rudy Cuzzetto as my MPP. I am deeply disturbed by this proposal and will NEVER vote conservative if this passes. Bike lanes are a CRITICAL infrastructure. STOP wasting our tax payer money to rip out infrastructure that actually exists.

1. Red tape an bureauracracy: The provincial government should not be adding red tape and bureaucracy to slow down local governments trying to increase transportation options.

This misguided legislation will not only waste public resources removing well-functioning infrastructure and put cyclists' lives in danger, it will only exacerbate the problem it intends to solve - reducing congestion.

Talk about government overreach. I can wait for the conservatives to be out of power. Then we will pass a law that every road in Etobicoke is required to have separated bike lanes. Because good governance now appears to be a thing of the past. Lets not do what is right or what people want.

I drive and bike along these roads and can confidently say that removing the bike lane is a huge mistake as it would not improve driving congestion.

How will having more cars driving by my business help me? They dont ever come to my shop. But you know who constantly come in? People who live in the neighborhood who cycle to my shop.

I am deeply concerned about the environmental impact of the Reducing Gridlock, Saving You Time Act and the Building Highways Faster Act. Expediting large-scale projects like Highway 413 and the Bradford Bypass risks irreversible harm to ecosystems, wildlife habitats, and local farmland.
