There's using evidence based data to support your policy, and then there's politically driven policy with manipulated data that makes lives worse for the people in which you serve. This bill is clearly the latter. Smarten up Ontario Government.

First, removing existing bike lanes constitutes both a massive waste of money and a blatant misuse of government power. I am one of a multitude who would much rather see tax revenue devoted to critical areas, such as health care. Read more

I have several major concerns with Bill 212 and associated acts and request that you reject this bill or amend it to address my concerns. I have attached a document summarising my concerns and proposing solutions. Briefly: Read more

I'm a physician working in Toronto who uses the university and Bloor west lanes nearly every day to commute to hospitals on university avenue. These lanes are essential for not only physicians but cyclists all over the city. The data being cited that these lanes worsen congestion are incorrect. Read more

I strongly disagree with the introduction of this bill. It is not economically efficient to try to stuff large personal vehicles into downtown Toronto, it heavily restricts the maximum number of people who can travel and therefore how productive the city can be. Read more

How can this government destroy my children's future with this bill. Burden them with debt. Destroy their environment with these useless highways. Destroy there cities with more cars, more pollution and fewer cars. Read more

I am a 70 year old resident of Ottawa and take many trips by bicycle, for the sake of my health and fitness, to reduce carbon emissions and congestion, and for the efficiency of not having to find parking in crowded city spaces. Read more

As a citizen of Toronto and Ontario, I find this Bill reprehensible. Congestion will not get better if we can't get people out of cars, cycling is an environmental (reduced local pollution and carbon emissions) positive and a health positive. Read more

This Bill will hurt small business and only benefit the premiers developer friends and donors. The people of Toronto have repeatedly voted for the exact opposite. This is corruption and government overreach. Read more

I am concerned that Bill 212 will increase gridlock, lead to unnecessary infrastructure, and waste the tax dollars of hard working people in Ontario. Decades of science has shown that building more highways induces demand for highways rather than improving travel times. Read more

Stop destroying nature before you have completed due process and Indigenous consultation. Once you have destroyed farmland and habitats there is no going back. So make sure you do it right the first time by not rushing the process. We do not need more highways. Read more

I operate a small grocer. None of my customers drive to my shop. How will more cars speeding by, fewer pedestrians and fewer people coming to my shop by bike help. Bill 212 is anti-business and pro donor class.

This bill does nothing more then let big government overrule local communities in the interest of special interest. This bill is right out of the 1960's planning and will just further the growth Ponzi scheme that will hurt our children when it finally collapses. Read more
