I strongly oppose this legislation. First, the allocation space within municipally owned public rights of way is fundamentally a local issue best left to municipal councils, not the Province.

The province should not be able to dictate municipal policy. We need more bike lanes, not less. We need more protected bike lanes, wider sidewalks, lanes only for scooters and electric bikes. We need more infrastructure that allows getting around the city without a massive vehicle.

This is the most ridiculous bill that you ever decided to put in place. Bike lanes are not creating traffic. Cars do, for the most part.
You will cause death or basically, cause more traffic. Simple as that.
Please, be smart and reconsider this bill.
The entirety of this bill should be thrown in the trash. There is a mountain of evidence supporting the fact that the only way to reduce vehicular traffic congestion is to provide good quality alternatives. These alternatives are public transportation and cycling.

Bill 212 is a ridiculous notion - you are introducing another wasteful layer of oversight on municipalities, who are already doing the studies and consultation required before installing bike lanes. If the government wants to review the studies, they are already there in the public domain.

Terrifying that we live in a society that promotes regression. How many cyclists have to be killed before you wake up? And let’s promote global warming while you’re at it… give your head a shake!!!!!
Over the past few years, the gradual introduction of bike infrastructure in my city has significantly improved mobility, allowing me and many others to make fewer trips by car.

This bill is not only an overreach by the provincial government, but one that would have a disproportionately devastating impact on the city of Toronto. Bike lanes actively reduce the number of cars on the road, which lessens congestion.

Literally every piece of data says this will make congestion worse, not better
If you wanted to improve congestion you'd look at street parking. How many major roads in Toronto have street parking taking up 50% of it? And cycle lanes are the problem?

I am entirely opposed to this bill and believe it to one of the worst uses of taxpayer money this government could conjure. It has already been proven that it will have the exact opposite effect of what it proposes to do.
I urge the province to back away from challenging existing bike lanes and taking a role in approving new ones. I am a driver, cyclist, transit rider, and pedestrian in Toronto.

Completely misses the mark on the core issues of congestion. Focus efforts on completing the LRT that is has taken 13 years to construct, without an end defined.

Please do not remove the bike lanes in Hamilton. The lanes I'm concerned about are Hunter St, Keddy Trail, Bay St, York St, Charlton Ave, Lawrence Rd and Stone Church Rd. I've been using these lanes a few times a week for mental health and over all fitness.

It is a common knowledge and evident by cities like London, copenhagen, amaterdam, paris that bikes reduce co2 emissions, congestion, less cars on the road (less pollution) and helps people adopt a healthier lifestyle.

This is promising news to combat the bicycle madness at Toronto city hall. Living in Etobicoke, the implementation of bike lanes on Bloor Street have created substantial traffic bottlenecks and subsequent delays in getting around.

As a bike commuter, I rely on bike lanes to get me safely to work. Objectively, removing a single bike lane does not speed traffic much. Removing bike lanes for cyclists makes it much more dangerous to get around the city.

This bill is really not well thought out. Reducing bike lanes will only increase traffic as it will force many to commute via driving, carpooling, ttc, etc.

The City of Toronto is doing a great work on introducing the new bike lanes where possible. It is much safer now in the city to ride the bicycle. Please do not limit the city with this proposal.

Ontarians want a more vibrant and friendlier public realm. We know that easing traffic congestion is about giving people more transportation options, not fewer.
