Bike lanes save lives. Bike lanes reduce congestion. Bike lanes improve quality of life. Bike lanes make for faster commutes for everyone - cyclists and drivers. The government's proposal goes against all known science and fact.

This policy is a farce and offensive to the Bloordale community. If Ford wanted to decongest traffic, he would invest in public transit and build *more* bike lanes in order to get Torontonians off the road's he's so concerned about.

This is an undemocratic overstep into municipal affairs. The people of Toronto have elected a mayor with a mandate to prioritize active transportation and transit - this is what the people want.

It is at best folly, and at worst malevolent to submit municipalities to dogmatic provincial officials over the existence and expansion of bike lanes.

I would like to voice my disappointment with the proposed Bill 212. It is a blatant example of confirmation bias (that bike lanes cause traffic), and disagrees with all research on root cause & solutions for congestion in cities.

The limiting of new and previously installed bike lanes undermines municipal authority.
Bike lanes or mobility lanes give people options on how they want to get around their city rather than being forced coerced into using a motor vehicle.

This is the most harebrained, needlessly punitive idea put forward by this government. More bike lanes make sense, improve the safe use of city roads by me and my kids, reduce traffic, and reduce emissions.

I am resident who commutes to the Financial District for work, and I want to stress the importance of bike lanes. I've been a regular user of Bloor, as well as College, Richmond, and Adelaide, for years.

We don't need more highways. We need to move people more efficiently. Invest in transit instead.
Also, a mix of modalities including bikes, on main arteries provides safer, healthier, greener commutes.
This is an absolutely ridiculous proposal that is completely out of touch with the needs of municipalities. Please be serious. We need to spend our time, energy and resources on housing, healthcare, and public transit.
This proposal has environmental effects and is regressive. Our leaders should be encouraging us to shift away from resource-intensive transportation like person vehicles, and move towards more sustainable options such as public transportation, walking, bikes, and e-bikes.

I'm a lifelong resident of Toronto, a current driver, motorcyclist, and cyclist. I've been waiting 30 years for sensible, safe, and data-backed solutions for mass transit infrastructure. Bike lanes are an integral part of that solution, along with investment in public transit.

Bike lanes are essential for reducing traffic congestion, especially in densely populated cities like Toronto. Adding more car lanes may seem like a solution to gridlock, but it actually encourages more driving, worsening traffic and pollution over time.

I like bike lanes. They speed things up. Bikes offer safe alternatives to getting in cars and move more people more quickly. At the very least, Doug would be furious at the overreach if he ran the city and someone meddled in municipal affairs, so he should stop doing that.
