I am incredibly disappointed that the Province is considering such an ill thought out piece of legislation. This will do nothing to improve traffic and will only put cyclists in danger as critical infrastructure is removed.

I am strongly opposed to Bill 212 and will vote against any political party that does not support bicycle infrastructure. Bike lanes enhance urban environments by improving safety for cyclists, reducing traffic congestion, and lowering air pollution.

We are not in the 1950's anymore, this bill might be the most braindead thing I have ever seen from this government. We've known for years that this kind of planning DOES NOT WORK.
RCMP needs to hurry up...
Bike lanes help congestion by pulling cars off the road, you are only going to make this effort worse if you make building bike lanes harder. Stop meddling in municipal business and let them make our cities better without the government getting in the way.
This is absurd, authoritarian, and totally politically oriented. Bike lanes save lives, are a more efficient way of moving in the city, are better for local businesses, are better for the house economy (compare costs of owning and mantaining a car vs public transportation vs biking).

I bike every day in Toronto. I go to work, I buy groceries, I take my kids to school, all by bike.
On weekends we go across town where my 11 year old rides on bike lanes to his grand parents house.

The statements in this proposal are simply the opinions of the Premier and Minister and have no factual backing. Not only do bike lanes not slow down traffic, research shows it actually speeds traffic up in many cases.

Full support, bike lanes on major roads using up traffic lanes have been a disaster and caused significant additional idling in traffic. Have them on secondary roads.
Bike lanes help cities reduce car traffic congestion by taking them off the road when people switch to bikes due to the new bike lanes that are safe and efficient. A bonus is that if they are wide enough, emergency vehicles can use them to bypass the car traffic.

Please stop these bike lanes. I live in Waterloo. All the big roads are being converted to cycle lanes, instead of putting money in snow removal city is wasting money on cycle lanes. And we hardly see bicyclists using these lanes. Also people usually do not use bicycles in winters.

Please release the traffic studies that show that removing bike lanes will improve drive times. If you do not we can only assume it is something Mr Ford and company are making up. Show us the data. If it isn’t a data driven decision it is a decision based on what?

This is a move in the wrong direction for Ontario. We need more, not fewer, urban bike lanes. Studies show (https://www.cbc.ca/news/science/bike-lanes-impacts-1.7358319) that adding more lanes for vehicle traffic will only induce more people to use their vehicles.

Removing bike lanes is ignoring the needs of a large share of your constituents and shows a clear misunderstanding of the problem you're trying to solve.

This is a gross overstep for the provincial government. This is a municipal issue that should be managed by the City of Toronto and the elected mayor, but the premier. It is a sad attempt at trying to secure votes from suburban commuters.

This has to be the most ridiculous Act that the Ford government has ever proposed. Instead of trying to moving forward your populist agenda, please work towards building and opening the many transit lines that have been delayed under your government.
As climate change ravages our landscape, it is incredibly concerning that the Ontario government want to limit active transportation opportunities. We need more options to rely less on fossil fuels.

Thank you for fighting back against these insanely woke city councils that are constantly doing things detrimental to those who use vehicles. Please keep up the good work!
