As a car owner and driver for over 30 years, and an avid road cyclist who uses our public infrastructure to ride across the GTA, I am opposed to this Bill 212 as conceived. Read more

It’s not bike lanes that is causing congestions. It’s cars. There are so many undisciplined drivers that even during the morning or afternoon rush, most curbside lanes have illegally parked cars on them. And because of that, I am forced to mix with grumpy and impatient drivers. Read more

The idea of removing bike lanes from streets in the biggest city in Canada makes 0 sense. No other major city is doing this. There is no data whatsoever backing up the removal of bike lanes to improve traffic. Read more

This is an absolutely ridiculous bill. It in no way uses best evidence as guidance. In fact, it contradicts best evidence. Transportation is all induced demand. You build more roads or have more lanes and it doesn’t reduce traffic. It gets more people driving. Read more

I oppose the removal of bike lanes. Please focus on mass transit infrastructure projects in order to improve traffic. I feel this proposal ignores existing research and evidence on effective ways to reduce traffic.

Bike lanes are the purview of the city. There is no reason for the province to step in and add unnecessary red tape for a city to progress. This is a very regressive bill. It is also based on a misconception that more car lanes eases congestion in the lomg term. Read more

This Act is an abomination, it is bile from a pen. Ontario opened for business and closed to its people. Did you know Harbord used to have streetcars? The government which is overseeing the Eglinton LRT is tearing out municipal infrastructure to spite its largest city. How pathetic. Read more

We need more bike lanes to create healthier cities and streets and less cars. Make the streets walkable. Removing parkings from condos and bike lanes from cities is non sensical.

Bill 212 contains an interesting juxtaposition: it expedites the process for building highways just as it adds a lengthy and subjective approval process for bike lane construction. Read more

What we need are viable alternatives to driving. We need less cars on the road. We need transit priority lanes. We need bike lanes. We need to enforce traffic rules. We need to remove Uber/Lyft.

Proposing something without reason is one thing. Proposing something with factually incorrect claims is much worse. Please review the existing studies on bike lanes. Read more

Removing bike lanes does nothing for downtown traffic better public transit infrastructure is the way to go. Cars will park in the right hand lane and traffic will just be as bad anyways

I do not support this act. The government is obviously aware of the facts around bike lanes and how they improve traffic. This act is simply to buy votes, at the expense of real progress.

Any attempt to reduce gridlock should include bike lanes and public transit. I live off Yonge street and the bike lanes there are very busy and make biking safer. Read more

I recently started biking to work because of the installation of bike lanes that make me feel comfortable and safe biking. Now it sounds like they might be going away, so I am going to have to go back to driving. Read more
