I do not believe the province should have jurisdiction over municipalities and a city’s road infrastructure.
Cities have a better understanding of their own road infrastructure requirements.
Why are we wasting time and money on a project that will negatively impact everyone? We should be adding bike lanes and public transit to combat gtidlock not cause more roadblocks for their creation.

Has the city/province considered other reasons why gridlock occurs? Could we please take a look at how appalling the TTC has become to use? There are constant detours and delays, it is unreliable and slow. If more people were on bikes and/or the TTC, gridlock would be reduced.

THIS IS IDIOTIC.
WILL NOT REDUCE TRAFFIC. MASSIVE WASTE OF MY TAX MONEY. WILL MAKE STREETS LESS SAFE. 0 SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT THIS DECISION.

The removal of bike lanes in the name of ontarians being on time and not being stuck in traffic seems extremely backward and counterintuitive. Why are we prioritizing vehicles over greener transportation? Why as cyclists do we need to fight for safer roads and laws constantly?

Bike lanes result in fewer injuries and fatalities for cyclists, they ADD SPACE to roadways because they refuse the need for those on bikes to be in cars instead, they make sidewalks safer by providing extra buffer zones from motor vehicles, they have a positive effect on nearby businesses, they red

I live in the East End of Toronto along the Bloor/Danforth line and cycle to work all year. In 2015 (Before the east Bloor bike lane extensions) I was hit by an car as I was cycling to work and I thought I would never cycle again on Danforth.

I'm absolutely in favour of the province putting a stop to additional bike lanes being added in cities at the cost of removing vehicle lanes.

I am firmly opposed to this proposal.
Bike lanes are a critical part of city infrastructure. There's absolutely no reason the provincial government should be interfering with the city on this.
Why doesn’t the Conservatire Gov and Ford focus on delivering Transit, Energy, Education and Health? Spending millions to undo bike lanes that will maybe give back drivers 3-5 mins on their commute is IRRESPONSIBLE, EGREGIOUS and plain foolish.
Stay out of Torontos business.
I use the woodbine, danforth, bloor and sherbourne lanes on my daily commute to work (University Health Network) and feel more at ease having the lanes.

Mr. Ford, the blatant corruption that this bill is evident of appalls me as both a lifelong resident and taxpayer of Ontario. I do not consent. Absolutely, absolutely not.
If studies are done and the bike lanes reduce traffic, or more significantly, impede emergency response times, then removing them could be a great idea -- but the comment from the Premier that multiple bike lanes are going to be removed before any study has been done shows that this is not a logical

THANK YOU! Traffic is snarled in the city. Removing lanes for bicycles was a terrible idea on main thoroughfares. Move cyclists to side streets to keep traffic moving.
I am against this bill. Leave local decisions to the municipalities. There is no data to suggest that the addition of a bike lane increases traffic congestion, reduces commerce in the area, or helps strengthen community. I believe that decisions on bike lanes should be left to the municipal level.

Shortsighted and Driver-Centric: Bill 212 Ignores Public Transit and Active Transportation
While the bill focuses on easing traffic for drivers, it overlooks the broader impact on cyclists, non-drivers, and public transit users. Several key questions remain unanswered:

Removing previously installed infastructure would be a huge waste of taxpayer money along the delays and extra construction it would cause. Its the same as the waste of money to rename Younge Dundas Square.
