The fact that this proposal is even happening is a complete joke. DF and his mob boss like attitude should focus on real issues like hospital wait times and affordable housing. But of course, he's using bike lanes as a distractor from what really matters.

This bill is silly. Research shows traffic actually moves FASTER with bike lines, because drivers don’t make as many last-minute lane change decisions to deke around parked cars, which is what takes up the curb lane of most roads without bike lanes.

Why is this provincial government weighing in on municipal affairs?
Why is there a push to go backwards when it's clear that all world-class cities, including Paris, New York, Amsterdam, and countless others have a multitude of bike lanes, to great success?

It is unacceptable for the provincial government to insert itself into municipal decisions in this way. Residents of this province deserve to have input and control over the management of their local cities and towns.

I am writing to express my strong opposition to the proposed framework that would enable the removal of bike lanes in favour of vehicle lanes on municipal and city roads.

I am an Ontario born and raised driver, cyclist, and pedestrian. I support MORE bike lanes across the province. With this bill the Ontario PCs are demonstrating their utter contempt for citizens of Ontario.

This proposal adds red tape to the process of adding critical infrastructure to cities. As a driver and cyclist, I will often travel by bike instead of car if there is a safe route to do so.

This bill is a waste of time, and taxpayer money. Instead of meddling in city affairs, the province should be focusing their resources on delivering existing public transit projects, funding healthcare, and education.

The proposed bill 212 represents an egregious overreach of provincial government into municipal matters. While this bill is clearly targeted towards limiting the construction of new bike lanes within Toronto, it has widespread impact across Ontario.

Please do not implement these harmful changes. Cycling is the main mode of transportation for my family. My 9 and 11 year olds use their bikes only because there are safe bike lanes available including the one on bloor.

I am completely and vehemently against this proposal. The proposal states that the Province's goal is to "fight gridlock and get drivers where they need to go faster", yet what you are proposing is at the literal cost of human lives.

The province should educate themselves on the idea of induced demand. This is regressive policy that will produce the opposite of the intended outcomes. More cars on the road = more congestion.

I think this move is a bad move both fiscally and environmentally and will only add more traffic onto the road. As a person who drives and bikes, I appreciate bike lanes so I don’t end up having conflict with cyclists while driving.

Bike lanes save lives, make the environment healthier, and reduce the number of cars on the road. I have young children and want them to be healthy, active members of society, and safe bike lanes give them the confidence to get exercise while going to school, sports, etc.

There is no reason for the province to stick it's nose in this. Cities and neighbourhoods should always be empowered to make decisions about what their streets look like without provincial red tape. The province is in charge of highways, and there should be no bike lanes on highways.

This proposed framework is reactionary and rooted in the counterfactual. It is insulting to the Province's workforce of transportation professionals who understand how transportation networks operate.

Hello, I am utterly dumbfounded that Doug Ford is on a mission to remove and prevent bike lanes in Toronto. Traffic has nothing to do with bike lanes and everything to do with the fact there are simply too many cars on the road.

Why is the number one way for individuals to reduce their climate impact biking, according to the province: https://www.ontario.ca/page/how-you-can-help-address-climate-change

This Bill is absolute nonsense. Why do Doug Ford and the Ontario government want to consolidate power and take municipal level decisions away from municipalities?
