Bill 212 seems to be misguided. It claims to deal with traffic gridlock, but the methods it proposes would maintain or increase gridlock. This is supported by studies discussed in recent publications. For example: Read more

Bill 212 is Undemocratic. We voted for a mayor and a Councillor who pledged support for safe streets in our city. Ripping out downtown bike lanes will make our streets lethal for cyclists. Why is the Provincial government trying to override municipal jurisdiction over our streets? Read more

My father suffered a life-altering brain injury in a collision with a vehicle while riding on the streets in Toronto. Bike lane would have prevented the brain injury of a highly qualified Engineer with a PhD. As a Torontonian, This proposed bill is a shame!

How is the government aware of how these bike lines are actually impacting traffic? Where is the data? You should let cities follow their well thought out transportation plans. Less bike lines will make it unsafe for people using that mode of transportation, which might lead to accidents. Read more

I am writing to express my opposition to Bill 212. I am disappointed to learn that the provincial government is overreaching its typical bounds and proposing changes to municipal roads, specifically as it relates to removal of bike lanes on Bloor Street, University Avenue and Yonge Street.
