There is substantial, well grounded opposition to the construction of Highway 413 and the Bradford Bypass. They will damage sensitive ecological lands that provide critical ecosystem services.

Bill 212 is incredibly backwards, especially given this climate crisis and clear data that adding lanes for cars and removing bike lanes is anti-reducing gridlock.

I am writing to express my strong opposition to the Ontario government's recent bill that would allow the province to ban and remove bike lanes, and we urge you to vote against this misguided legislation.

Please don’t remove bike lanes. people will not stop riding their bikes so maybe make it safe for everybody. what should be done is to build a better bike lane network to relief traffic congestion.
I use bike lanes in Toronto regularly, and appreciate the safety and convenience they offer on Bloor, University and Yonge and other thoroughfares. They make getting around the city easier for me and I feel they are a healthier option.

I strongly encourage the Ontario government to cancel / rescind this Bill. The Minister and Premier have spoken about making data driven decision, but the statistic used to justify this bill (that only 1.2% of Toronto residents cycle to work) has been revealed to be inaccurate.

This proposal is not suited for adoption. Its stated goals of reducing gridlock and saving travel time are the opposite of the effects it will cause. Adding more roads (including highways) and preventing the removal of motor vehicle road space for bicycles will both increase gridlock.

As a resident of Toronto who lives near Midtown Yonge, I am writing to express my concerns about the proposed amendment to Bill 212, which mandates the removal of bike lanes on Yonge Street. I strongly urge you to preserve the Midtown Yonge Complete Street as it currently exists.

The addition of the requirement of Ministry approval before municipalities can construct bicycle lanes is not in line with with the current government's commitment to reducing red tape.

Please please please use your common sense and acknowledge this plan will benefit absolutely no one. Bike lanes do not cause gridlock. Cars cause gridlock.

We need efficient highways and modes of transportation, not more highways and cars. The 407 was previously constructed to connect areas further from the 401 highway and “save time” for drivers, however if you take a drive along it you see it’s barely occupied.

For the life of me, I cannot understand the thinking behind Bill 212. Our cities need more bike lanes, not fewer. I don’t ride a bike but fully support installing more bike lanes through our cities, and do not support their removal.

This bill appears to be littered with Acts that would allow your government to make further "questionable" decisions:

Bill 212, schedule 4 is built upon the absolutely incorrect assumption that bike lanes cause traffic congestion. There are many studies in other parts of the world that prove the sheer benefits of sufficient bike infrastructure in urban centres.

The Government of Ontario needs to recognise that highways are not the solution. Gridlock is the result of a lack of alternatives to driving. The more people don't drive, the less traffic our roads will face.
