As someone who drives, cycles, and walks, I oppose the proposed legislation. Putting people's safety at risk is the opposite of what the provincial government should do. Read more

This is unfairly targeted at the larger cities wishing to have safer and quicker routes for cyclists. This will result in needless bloodshed and lives lost due to requiring provincial bureaucracy to approve much needed bike lanes. Read more

I think this is a terrible idea. I rely on bike lanes to safely run errands and travel to and from work. I’m currently 6 months pregnant and I absolutely do not feel as safe on roads without bike lanes. Read more

I am a Toronto resident and my cycling is my primary mode of transportation. I cannot count how many times a bike lane has saved my life from reckless and careless drivers. Read more

This is a complete waste of taxpayers money and a major step backwards for the city of Toronto and province of Ontario. Cyclist deserve a safe place to bike. How many cycling deaths before the Ford government cares? Evidently more than 6 given that's how many have died this year alone. Read more

The requirements of Bill 212- 195.2(1) contravenes virtually every known principle of civil traffic engineering. The elimination of a modality will place more persons on the road, increasing traffic and congestion. Read more

This proposed legislation is a joke. Not only will reducing bike lanes NOT decrease congestion (to the contrary in most cases it will only increase congestion due to discouraging commuters from cycling), it does not represent, in any way, a savings of money. Read more

This proposal makes very little sense to me. I do not understand how replacing lanes on local roads to provide a safe, reliable, and fast form of non-automobile transit could in any way increase traffic. Read more

The Ford Government’s proposal to limit and remove bike lanes will actively cost people’s lives and increase congestion. Cars are the most inefficient means of travel because of the space they require to move what is most often just a single person. Read more

Please do not make this into a requirement. Bike lanes are important and having them is important. Traffic doesn't just include cars and in a downtown environment like Toronto you have to have options and that includes bike lanes. Read more

I live on an arterial road downtown, in the west end, with many businesses on it that is constantly congested with cars. Thank goodness we have safe accessible bike lanes just north and south, so we can get around quickly, efficiently, and without entering the danger that cars present. Read more

I don't believe this Bill will solve traffic congestion in cities as bike lanes REDUCE congestion. The space it takes for 100 cyclists to travel down a street in significantly smaller than the space used for 100 motorists on the same street. Read more

More bike lanes is good. Anything that prevents cities from installing bike lanes is bad. Please build some public transit if you want to actually fix the traffic situation, as literally every single expert will tell you. Read more

The framework for bike lanes should depend on the determination of the municipality. If the municipal government wishes to install bike lanes, then the requirements are met. The provincial government should not bear the responsibility for determining the installation of bike lanes.

This is an absurd proposal that will not achieve its stated goals and will only serve to add red tape, cost and extend the timelines associated with municipal projects. Read more
