To require MORE red tape to create bike lanes is a waste of time and money.
More people not using cars IMPROVES car traffic far more significantly than getting rid of a small bike lane.
This is a waste across the board and the person proposing such stupid ideas ought to be fired.
This proposal is extremely irresponsible because it ignores the safety and needs of Toronto residents that use cycling as a means of transportation. Reducing bike infrastructure will lead to greater risk of injury to cyclers and cause conflict between cyclers and drivers.

Cyclists are tax-paying citizens who deserve a fair share of the road infrastructure in our city and province. Bike lanes are not just a convenience; they are a necessity for ensuring the safety and well-being of cyclists.

This is such a stupid waste of time and a distraction. We will NEVER get rid of gridlock. We will NEVER have traffic the flows well. The only solution is making it as easy as possible to take something other than a car.

Ford needs to stop meddling in municipal affairs. Bike lanes are essential. I lived on Bloor for years and saw so many cyclists get doored or hit by cars before the bike lanes were installed. They’re a life saver.
In the same way the federal government shouldn't interfere with provincial affairs, the provincial govt shouldn't interfere in municipal affairs.

It is ridiculous to dig under the 401. Why not change that the trucks ride on the 407. I disagree digging up land for more roads. I also disagree that existing bike lanes be removed.

I am strongly opposed to Bill 212. Requiring municipal governments to seek provincial approval for bike lanes undermines local decision-making and stifles efforts to promote sustainable transportation.

As a Toronto resident who gets around without a car, and as a person who lost their only brother due to an unsafe driver, I feel it is absolutely imperative to have safe ways to get around town effectively and efficiently *without access to a car*.

I believe that every person commuting or travelling is entitled to a safe and efficient route. Removing bike lanes will put more commuters in danger. Remove street parking instead of safe travel routes.
I do NOT support the removal of bike lanes. I do NOT want my tax dollars wasted on removing infrastructure that I use every day. My safety, and the safety of other cyclists, should be important. By removing bike lanes the province will be CREATING gridlock, not alleviating it.

As a car owner and a cyclist who lives in Toronto, I emphatically oppose this bill. It is an extreme example of overreach by the province, which should be leaving decisions about bike lanes to the municipalities.

The idea that blocking the installation of, or more bafflingly, removing existing bike lanes shows that this government has no interest in research-based solutions to improving traffic congestion.

Starting with a blinkered goal of ‘getting drivers where they need to go, faster’ is fundamentally flawed and ignores all of the non driver taxpayers of Ontario. What kind of a goal is that?

Ontario does not need more highways to reduce gridlock. We need better transit and more support for walking, cycling and other emission free and healthy modes of mobility.

I am writing to express my strong opposition to the proposal to remove bike lanes as a means to reduce road congestion. Removing bike lanes will not only fail to alleviate congestion but will likely exacerbate the problem by increasing the number of cars on the road.

Hello! 39 year old Toronto cyclist. I ride my bike 12 months out of the year and I have no plans to stop. Protected bike lanes have been an absolute godsend. I no longer fear for my life whenever I go to work, visit my parents, head to new neighbourhoods and discover new shops and restaurants.

Cycling is a healthy, cheap, low-impact, and space-efficient mode of transportation for our cities but it can only become widespread if people have access to a comprehensive network of safe bike infrastructure.

all the removal of bike lanes does is increase congestion and make the road less safe for all road user and increases the chances of a bike commuter deaths
