How about you don’t waste taxpayer money and leave our damned bike lanes alone? Go do something useful for once. Bike lanes work and help reduce traffic. Spending time and money removing existing ones is a spectacularly stupid move.
Leave Toronto’s bike lanes alone!!
Bike lanes are an essential part of my day to day travel as a cyclist. Removing bike lanes would create greater risks for my mobility, and make cycling in Toronto far more dangerous. I really encourage you to rerhink this bill. And instead, focus on the completion of metrolinks projects
As a driver in Toronto, I prefer to drive on streets that have bike lanes, especially the ones that have a curb separating bikes from cars. Not having to share a lane with cyclists makes driving so much less stressful.

When cycling is safer, more Torontonians opt to cycle instead of hiring an Uber or driving. Traffic problems are caused by cars, not bike lanes.

This proposal would allow yet more provincial overreach in municipal affairs. Municipalities should be able to make their own decisions around transportation infrastructure without meddling from the province.

This purposely is counter intuitive to any climate change initiatives or zero carbon. Not to mention the risk this will place on cyclist as by law we are still entitled to 1/2 of a lane by MTO rules if no cycle lane is present. In addition the 3ft passing rule is also in place.

This act is an over reach of the Province into municipal affairs. Bike lanes save lives and do not increase congestion. This is a poor use of taxpayer money to remove bike lanes. I will not support this government again with policy like this.

We need more bike lanes. Bike infrastructure saves traffic time and saves lives. Bike infrastructure should be expanded across the cities and bike programs (financing, education on bike mechanics/road safety) should be funded.
Plan for our future by investing in lives, and bikes.

This is terrible legislation on multiple levels.

Please don't remove the bike lanes, Cars don't need another lane we should be focusing on making cities more walkable to reduce the need for people to use. More alternatives more actually more appealing.
This bill is one of this most poorly thought out things I’ve read in my life. First off adding additional red tape to adding bike lanes, for the party that talks about removing red tape is laughable.

This is the single dumbest piece of policy I have ever heard of. Bike lanes reduce congestion. They encourage more people to cycle — which is good for reducing traffic, the environment and people’s health. I cycle every day to work, and I only do because of the safety bike lanes provide.

This proposal is short-sighted and purposefully ignores both research and conventional wisdom in order to advance an individual's personal goals above and beyond those that actually serve the people of Ontario.

I am super angry about Doug Ford’s proposal to remove new bike lanes in the Toronto – on Bloor, University and Yonge Street. As a university student, I am very frequently on co-op jobs and often in the downtown Toronto area.

Toronto needs more safe separated bike lanes. All the data shows that if people feel safe biking they do it. More people biking means fewer single occupancy cars on the road and improved traffic for the cars that have to be there.

I do not agree with bill 212
Municipalities should have the decision of areas, and be able to develop plans to suit their community’s needs.
Bike lanes make travel safer for bike traffic.
With safe bike lanes, less cars are on the road, resulting in less congestion.
