This bill represents extraordinary overreach into municipal affairs that will negatively impact quality of life and safety in the city. Bike lanes are being adopted by every single major city in the world. Why does the premier think he knows better? Read more

I bike my daughters to daycare almost every day using the Runneymede and the Bloor bike lanes. Without the Bloor bike lanes it would feel unsafe and I’d be forced as many would do drive our kids. I don’t think this is a feasible solution for the city to implement in the long term. Read more

We need to divest from automobile infrastructure. The 401 is the perfect example that adding more lanes doesn’t help the flow of traffic. We should be building more public transit corridors. A train line that spans the 401 and connects all GO Transit corridors. And more subways. Read more

Please Doug Ford do not remove the bike lanes. I love them and enjoy them as much as possible. If you remove the bike lanes, it is going to get much more crowded because we are going to drive our shiny bikes in the middle of the road. Read more

I strongly oppose Bill 212. Now more than ever we need bike lanes. Removal of bike lanes won't decrease the number of cyclists on the road. It will only force cyclists into shared roads with vehicles, which would likely in turn lead to more congestion and more dangerous conditions for all parties. Read more

Removing existing bike lanes in the city is a waste of time and money. Data shows that improved bike infrastructure will not improve gridlock issues. Please invest in infrastructure that helps the city and province and do not spend millions to remove what has already been put in. Read more

The province should stay on its lane and let municipalities decide on bike lanes. Studies have proved again and again that more car lanes don't ameliorate traffic ([1], [2], [3]). On the contrary, they cause induced demand and increase the number of cars on the streets. Read more

First off, I'm aware of several Etobicoke drivers who have dealt with the road rage of our impatient Premier. Each day it takes him a couple minutes longer than he would like to get from Queens Park to the Gardiner and I can only assume it displeases him. Read more

I am writing to express my serious concern about Bill 212, Reducing Gridlock, Saving You Time Act, 2024. This bill would negatively affect the future of sustainable mobility in the Province of Ontario and do little to nothing to actually reduce gridlock. Induced Demand Read more

As a cyclist in Toronto who relies on a bicycle for transportation, there is no doubt we require bike lanes for our safety. I oppose Bill 212 entirely. It would be a huge mistake for Toronto to spend that much money on undoing what has been an effective way to keep cyclists safe in our city. Read more

I am astounded that our Premier can override not only the democratic process by which our mayor and her professional planning staff have legally spent millions of tax dollars to safely improve the traffic flow for all users in Canada's largest city. Read more

I disagree with this Bill. No to the province taking control of the cities. I don't bike and generally agree with Doug Ford so I don't care about the bike lane issue but if I disagree with the next premiere, I don't want the province coming in and undoing things that my city already agreed on.
