Thank you for taking the time to read my comments. This bill is just downright silly. There is no factual basis for the conclusion that reducing bike lanes will help reduce gridlock.

It's my hope that the Provincial Parliament will vote this down. Every informed expert agrees that this won't help with "gridlock".
The proven negatives to removing bike lanes:
* Removing bike lanes can lead to more traffic congestion during construction.

Bill 212 proposes to destroy existing bike lanes, smother local democracy and dismiss environmental protections in the beautiful province of Ontario. As an older adult who commutes by bicycle, I rely on bike lanes for a safe route to my workplace.

As a citizen of Toronto, I completely oppose Bill 212. This is an absurd direction to try to take the city of Toronto in 2025. We are facing a dire climate crisis, and gridlock will not be solved by allowing more cars into our city.

Demanding provincial oversight of municipal transit policies is useless over reach. If conservatives can't stick to being 'small government' what good are they?
Ontario's Bill 212 is a step in the wrong direction for the province. Instead, the Province should be investing in better investment in public transportation rather than more highway lanes.

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.

I strongly oppose this Bill. It continues the track record of this government's override of local planning and policy decisions when those decisions don't align with conservative ideology.

These comments focus on Part XII, which requires Government of Ontario approval/review of: municipalities’ plans for bicycle lanes that reduce lanes for cars, and bicycle lanes that have been built in the past five years (with the potential for removal of lanes that are in place.)

Bikes lanes are not only a lifesaver for people who commute to work, as an alternate mode of transportation within a dense urban environment they are beneficial to the rider (exercise for better health reduction on diseases related to lack of exercise), they are infinitely superior to cars when we a

I'm opposed to Ontario Bill 212 (Reducing Gridlock, Saving You Time Act, 2024) for several key reasons. The proposal to eliminate bike lanes to reduce traffic congestion is flawed and lacks evidence. In fact, removing bike lanes won't decrease traffic; studies and historical data show the opposite.

Please please keep bike lanes. I dont feel safe riding my bike on the roads without them. They are a safe and fast way to commute and good for the environment!
Don’t remove needed and WANTED bike lanes just for the sake of Doug Fords commute to work! Bike lanes allow many people who live in the downtown core to get from one place to another. We are talking about people who may not even have any other means to travel due to income.

I am writing to express my opposition to Bill 212, the Reducing Gridlock, Saving You Time Act, 2024. This bill prioritizes infrastructure projects dictated by the Transport Minister, disregarding the needs of our communities, while undermining environmental protections and local autonomy.
