I oppose Doug Ford’s anti-bike lane legislation. Not only will it make our roads more unsafe for people who cycle, walk or drive it is also yet another overstep on the authority of municipalities.

This is a terrible idea! First of all will it lead to the death of cyclists who are no longer protected on roads. But since the only constituents that you seem concerned about are drivers let's consider the impacts on them.

I strongly object to this bill. Our climate is a disaster and this bill would harm access to bike lanes, as well as by-passing environmental protections when building highways.

This is a very unnecessary proposal that is imposing on the rights of municipalities. There have been countless tax payer dollars spent on construction projects that will now be destroyed and there is no positive alternative other than “opening a lane or traffic”.

I disagree with the suggested regulation on bike lane as it is regressive on many levels. Cost of living: bikes are an affordable way to commute. Environment: bikes causes much less emissions. Public health: bikes are quieter, cleaner, and healthier way to commute.

The bike lanes make me feel safe when I’m biking to class downtown. I don’t feel comfortable biking without a bike lane, and rely on them for my daily transportation. Removing the bike lanes removes a car free option in the city. Removing the bike lanes means more grid lock. Don’t move back.

The very premise of this bill is entirely, willfully, ignorant to the concept of induced demand, and to the facts and findings of every single study on the matter. The facts are simply that motor vehicles are the single least-efficient method by which to move people.

Bike infrastructure is key to efficient, safe, and sustainable transportation and is the one of the best factors in REDUCING congestion. Doug Ford's legislation would do irreparable damage to our city and will further worsen congestion for all commuters.

I firmly believe that municipalities should have full control over municipal roads. The province should not be allowed to approve or deny changes to municipal roads, nor should it be allowed to make our streets less safe for cyclists by removing existing lanes.

Regarding Bill 212:
I strongly disagree with our provincial governments proposal to remove bike lanes.
As a pedestrian, I have witnessed a marked improvement to various neighbourhoods, including Roncesvalle, Bloor West, Danforth Ave and the downtown core

i feel like this is afl distraction from real issues like health care, education, hwy 413, green belt, Ontario sciencere, and Ontario place.
Please drop this bill and work on stuff that matters to all citizens on Ontario.
I am strongly opposed to this legislation. Municipalities should have autonomy over city planning decisions including bike lanes. The province should be focused on strategies to actually reduce congestion - like public transit.

I strongly oppose this piece of legislation. Research on this subject has demonstrated the opposite (i.e., bike lanes and other modes of public transportation help reduce traffic). I'm also concerned by the government overreach.

No evidence has proven that removing and/or limiting bike lanes will minimize gridlock. Decades of research have shown how induced demand has made gridlock even worse. To reduce gridlock, cities must provide people with more options to get where they need to go.

"Prescribed municipalities would be required to seek provincial approval to allow for the implementation of new bicycle lanes (“bike lanes”) that require the removal of an existing lane of traffic. Approval will be based on a set of specified criteria, to be set out in guidance and/or regulation."
