I strongly disagree with the proposal to eliminate bike lanes where they prevent the creation of additional lanes for motorists. Even with the bike lanes we have, hundreds of bicycle-car/truck collisions, injuries and death occur every year. Removing bike lanes will make the situation worse.

This is an absolutely foolish and wasteful proposal. Study after study show that bike lines help reduce traffic. The only effect this will have is making it more dangerous for cyclists and drivers.

Does Doug Ford listen to anyone who actually understands the science and history behind traffic strategies? It really seems he is still waging the mythical war against cars started by his brother Rob. It really makes him look petty and uninformed.

PROTECT OUR BIKE LANES AND CREATE NEW ONES! Cars don’t need more space on the roads. I was hit by a car due to insufficient bike lanes in this city and this happens to many others.
Good morning.
I am making this comment as a driver that commutes to downtown Toronto at least 3 times a week to my office for work. I do not use public transportation or cycle on roadways.

I empathize with drivers that are frustrated but taking away the cities autonomy to build bike lanes where they are needed is not the solution. Change is hard but the reality is that as our city grows, we need new strategies.

how dare you.
focus on building transit and leave cities alone to know what is best for them. more people with safe cycling as an option will help congestion not more cars!! this is basic knowledge.

Municipalities should be the ones to decide on bike lanes, end of story. This is absolutely ridiculous and will only reduce accessibility across Ontario. There are so many injuries and deaths of cyclists every year that WOULD BE COMPLETELY PREVENTABLE IF WE HAD PROTECTED BIKE LANES EVERYWHERE.

I fully support Bill 212. There are bike lanes in Ottawa that are ploughed in wintertime, and there is nobody on them. Meanwhile, gridlock on the same road, Stupid.
I fully support Mr. Ford's efforts to stop further construction of bike lanes and tear-up existing bike lanes.

I am firmly and entirely against the proposed Act, both in terms of its specific contents and its general intent. The notion that bicycle lanes cause and/or significantly exacerbate vehicular traffic is frankly ludicrous, and is not supported by research.

The government is not addressing the root cause of congestion, single occupancy vehicles. This government should be using evidence based congestion busters such as improved funding for public transit and for active transportation networks like bike lanes.

This is a ridiculous, backward piece of legislation. The *only* way to reduce congestion is to remove cars; this has been proven time and time again. You say you are data-driven, but this is laughable. Safe bike lanes give people clean, green and healthy opportunities to get out of their cars.

Better/safer bike infrastructure = more bikes and less people driving. The only way you are going to combat traffic is by making biking more accessible and promoting transit. Why are we trying to go backwards and look for an easy fix. Especially for where I am Toronto.

This is a terrible and petty bill. It does not even address short term issues. I thought this was supposed to a party of small government and non-interference? Let communities make their own devisions and get out of their way.
Grid lock is awful but making roads less safe for cyclists is not the solution. We as a family live work and go to school in Toronto and bike lanes keep the children safer.

What research has been done to support the claim this will result in no traffic? None other than the premier on his ride to work frustrated seeing a cyclist go by faster than his 12 cylinder SUV.

I am a resident of downtown Toronto living in the west end, very near the Bloor bike lane. I use every mode of transport: I take public transit, walk, bike, and drive to get around, depending on my needs. Out of these modes, I use public transit and my bicycle the most frequently to get to work.

I do not support the removal of bike lanes. I do not support restricting the addition of bike lanes.
Build more transit, keep it affordable, and run the go trains more often.
