I do not support the Provincial government's decision to remove and restrict the construction and development of bike lanes. It is demonstrated beyond doubt that bike lanes improve traffic congestion and road safety for all modes of transit and promote a healthy economy.

I do not see why the Ontario government should be in the business of choosing favourites as regards modes of transportation. This legislation serves only to legitimize and further our dependency on the motor vehicle as the only viable means of transport.

Interfering in municipalities’ business is a waste of provincial time and taxpayers’ money. Removing or forbidding bike lanes is foolish and counterproductive.
It is a well-documented fact that more support for alternatives to automobile travel reduces traffic. Reducing bike lanes will increase traffic and will cause problems for safety. I am wholly against this bill.
Absolutely unbelievable increase in red tape taking decision making away from elected representatives in municipalities. Cities should be free to determine their own strategies for managing their traffic issues and pedestrian, bike, and vehicle safety problems.
Reducing bike lanes to accommodate for more traffic lanes will NOT improve congestion, it will instead take AWAY a mode of transportation which is overall beneficial and sustainable, biking.

Is this policy a joke? It is based on absolutely nothing other than stoking a culture war with citizens of Ontario. There are numerous studies that show the benefits of bike lanes to all commuters, not just people who bike.

As a driver, and someone who often experiences gridlock, I am strongly opposed to the Ford government's proposal under Bill 212 to reduce and remove existing bike lanes.

I am a resident of Toronto, a homeowner, a driver, and a father. I DO NOT support this bill, nor do I support the 413 or any efforts to bypass environmental protections
Bike lanes save lives! The government (municipal-provincial-federal) has the obligation to protect us and with this initiative the provincial government will confirm that they don’t care about our wellbeing but the interest of a few.

This act flies in the face of environmental assessment and the reason it exists. We are in an unprecedented global warming event, and instead of working towards addressing climate change, the government is actively taking steps to reduce such efforts, and exacerbate the problem.

Decisions about bike lanes and indeed all local traffic issues should be left to municipal governments. This is provincial government overreach.

Municipal infrastructure design should be left to local municipal governments. Wasting money by ripping out infrastructure is shortsighted, and continues this government’s pattern of prioritizing privileged groups like drivers over others like cyclists.

Reduce emissions production from vehicle use and traffic idling downtown. Expand cycling options, particularly for Torontonians who do not live near subway stops and cannot afford personal vehicles, gas, or the use of car services.

I am writing to express my concerns regarding the proposed bill that requires provincial approval for new bike lanes and imposes additional data collection requirements on municipalities.
