I don't want to put more effort into my comments than the government has put into the Bill itself, so I'll just say this: If you think we don't see this for the ideological B.S. that it is (since it is so clearly anti-evidence and anti-science), you're wrong. Read more

Ripping up the existing bike lanes on Bloor, Yonge, University would be absolutely criminal. As a former student at Ryerson (TMU), I used the Bloor bike lanes daily. Those lanes are incredibly well used, even seeing a considerable amount of congestion during peak times. Read more

As a Toronto resident who does not commute by car, this act will not save time for me or my family, nor is it environmentally friendly. I urge the Ford Government to withdraw the bill to save resources which could be spent elsewhere like fixing our crumbling schools or healthcare systems. Read more

This Bill, if passed, will be responsible for cyclists dying in Toronto, and Ontario streets. The wrong assumption that cyclists are less valuable than motorists put life on jeopardy. Do not approve this Bill, it will cause death and disgrace for our cities.

Space in a downtown urban environment is precious. The people of Toronto enjoy a wealth of spatial variety, from its rich green spaces and parks, to its economically active corridors and thriving intersection of culture and business in the downtown and surrounding areas. Read more

In the Waterloo Region our family are regular users of the expanding bicycle lane network. It has improved a lot over the last few years. We are strong supporters of expanding cycling infrastructure and the right of each city to manage it's own roadways. Read more

If we eliminate bike lanes, we are going to be like a third world country. We all now the benefits of bike lanes, Europe and well developed countries understand it. Why is so hard to convince our leaders. ?

I am deeply worried about this bill. There is no "final solution" for how much infrastructure is required for a car-culture to continue; adding (or returning) lanes for cars to occupy is not a long term, medium term, or even short term solution to congestion. Full stop. And everyone knows it. Read more

As owner of two cars, I nontheless feel we have an obligation to our children and those who follow and to the planet to reduce our reliance on cars. Building more highways, ripping up protected bike lanes and encouraging sprawl and fewer people on transit is spending money irresponsibly. Read more

Provincial legislation (Bill 212) aimed at keeping towns and cities from building bike lanes and even forcing some to remove them is bad news for everyone in Ontario, wherever they live. Read more

As a healthcare worker who commutes along University Avenue by bicycle, utilizing the safe bike lanes that were recently constructed to enhance the safety and accessibility of this vital corridor, I am STRONGLY AGAINST their removal. Read more

Please do not remove or limit bike lanes in Ontario cities. I strongly disagree with this Bill. This is harmful to people who rely on this efficient and healthy form of transportation. Removing bike lanes is a waste of tax payer money, and is counter to progress. Read more
