🎶Verse 1:
I remember when we first heard the news,
Bill 212, it gave us all the blues,
They said it’d make things better, but we knew,
It’s just a mess, and now we’re feeling used.
Pre-Chorus:
Oh, we’re stuck in this tangled web they’ve spun,
Trying to make sense of what they’ve done,

Aye aye, Captain! Here's a jolly sea chanty about Ontario's Bill 212 and the Greenbelt Scandal:
Verse 1:
Oh, gather 'round, ye sailors bold,
I'll tell a tale that's dark and cold,
Of Bill 212 and Greenbelt's plight,
Where corruption hides in plain daylight.
Chorus:

I object to the removal of bicycle lanes that municipalities have worked hard to build. Bicycle lanes in downtown Toronto do not cause congestion on the 401. Having the province intervening in municipal bicycle infrastructure is simply silly and disrespectful of municipal councils.

Removing bike lanes and expanding highways is one of the stupidest things the government could be doing right now. Many studies have been done that in fact show that building walkable cities, complete with protected bike lanes and safe sidewalks, REDUCES traffic congestion.

Please don't allow bike lanes to be removed from Toronto. They are good for active mobility, emissions-free trips, and make the city more pleasant to walk in. We need more of them, not less!

bike lanes are a CRUCIAL part of our roads. removing them is a waste of tax money, and completely ignores Ontario's bikers. Pushing more people to use cars just increases co2 emissions
The Ontario government should be more focused on investing in other infrastructure projects enabling more sustainable modes of transportation, such as public rail and bus transportation networks, bike lanes, etc.

You realize how silly the idea of eliminating bike lanes is when you count the number of bikes on the road and realize if those people were all in single occupancy vehicles the grid lock would be worse!!! This has been proven around the world -

This bill is very bad for not only the environment but everyone. Tearing down public infrastructure just to increase road size only benefits those with cars and makes. It makes roads more dangerous not only for bikers, but also pedestrians.

To start, I’m a driver and never cycle. However, cycling and public transport is most important to any metropolitan. Unless Toronto thinks of itself as village and does not want to follow world cities as examples.

Douggie,
Please reconsider this proposal. Each cyclist who uses the bikelane is one less car on the road. With no bike lanes, people cycle less because they feel less safe, and more people drive, causing worse gridlock.
I am completely opposed to this bill. Multiple studies (including our own internal government documents) have shown that building more highways does not reduce traffic, they just allow for more cars on the road.

Cancel plans for building highway 413, use the money instead to compulsory purchase the 407. Increase usage of 407 greatly by reducing the toll charges, thus reducing 401 traffic and cost for motorists and keeping predictable income flow.
