I am writing to express my strong opposition to the province's proposed plan to limit the construction of bike lanes in municipalities across Ontario.

This proposal is not in the best interests of our communities or even our traffic. Impeding municipalities' ability to make infrastructure decisions regarding bike lanes is no place for our government to be putting up more red tape.

This is a terrible idea and overreaching by the provincial government. I use bike lanes to get to and from work, and would be directly impacted negatively by this, including my physical safety.

You are the ministry of transportation and you are looking to interfere and make transportation worse for some unknown, probably political reasons. Why restrict municipalities across Ontario with zero nuance to the decisions.

The government is going in the opposite direction. They should be building more and better bike lanes instead of reducing and removing them. All cities should be more pedestrian and car friendly and promote public transit.
I oppose this bill. Bike lanes help reduce cyclist accidents and fatalities. Many Ontarians rely on bicycle transportation and should be able to do so safely. Adding more barriers to better cycling infrastructure shows that Ontario prioritizes drivers' convenience over cyclists' safety.
I believe this bill introduces a large amount of unnecessary red tape that infringes upon municipalities to do their jobs, and is a waste of our provincial government's resources that could be spent on more important matters.

I strongly disagree with the removal of bike lanes for several reasons:
- bike lanes in Toronto should be the City of Toronto's decision. The Ontario government needs to focus on priorities that are in its own jurisdiction

Bill 212 is fundamentally flawed in its intended purpose of bettering transportation options in Ontario. Removing bicycle infrastructure and building highway 413 has serious implications which negatively affect commute times, safety, the economy, congestion, wealth disparity, and the environment.

As a frequent cyclist in a mid-sized Ontario city, improving our bike lane infrastructure would allow more people to cycle, increasing physical activity and also decreasing congestion on traffic infrastructure.

Why waste tax dollars on MUNICIPAL road infrastructure when it could br spent on healthcare and secondary education?
Adding more bureaucracy to road/street development will increase the cost of infrastructure projects and misrepresentation of local communities.

I can’t afford a car so I have to bike to work every single day. I don’t feel safe doing so and even the bike lanes are congested. At least with lanes, there is a separation
I am a resident of a large city in Ontario, and I regularly drive, bike and take public transit within that city and outside of it. As both a driver and a cyclist, I feel safer and arrive at my destination faster when there are adequate bike lanes along my route.

Our cities and municipalities are each unique and Toronto is especially so and must not be ‘ruled’ by the heavy handed hammer of Ford and his fossil fuels addicted posse, none of whom live in Toronto.

Reducing bike lanes doesn’t make traffic flow better. This whole proposal is pointless and adds to more pollution. Why are we ripping out perfectly good infrastructure? It makes biking safer and if a car thinks it’s too slow to drive, maybe they should try a bike instead.

If you think removing bike lanes would improve car traffic, might I suggest spending ten minutes of your day counting how many bikes go past relative to vehicles.

Hello. My name is Kevin. I’m from Alberta. My partner and I just finished a multi-modal, cross-Canada trip to the east coast. We arrived in Toronto on August 25th by VIA rail with our bikes.

The bike lanes are ruining the city. Toronto has become an embarrassment. We have the highest commuting time out of all cities, and we have the audacity to remove traffic lanes to make traffic even worse.
