It’s definitely a mistake to use taxpayer money to remove established bike lanes, especially when these lanes promote sustainable transportation and community health. Instead of dismantling these vital resources, we should be focusing on expanding them. Read more

This bill is a clear cut example of government overreach and it completely undermines municipal governments. There are plenty of real issues that Ontarians are facing in terms of cost of living, housing, etc. Read more

I am against Bill 212. Removing cycling lanes will only contribute to the issue of gridlock in large populated cities. This bill is creating a blanket resolution to all cities as opposed to offering to support to the necessary cities where it is the issue - Toronto! Read more

The proposed policy is a detriment to the residents of the City of Toronto, increases dangers to both cyclists and motorists and will increase strain on existing infrastructure. Read more

I wish to respectfully plead for this bill to be turned down. Why? Because I am a cyclist who rides my bike year round. Please advocate on my behalf. We need more bike lanes, not less! Read more

Removing the bike lane is to make room for cars will cause more people to use cars instead of bikes as they feel unsafe to use the road which causes even more traffic. Removing bike lanes is one the most backwards idea I've heard in my life. Please save the bike lanes.

The only way to reduce congestion is to reduce the number of cars on the road and provide alternatives. "Just one more lane bro" doesn't work and hasn't worked, ever. Stop removing bike lanes and start doing things that might actually help: end the chaos at Metrolinx. Open the Finch West LRT. Read more

Wow. This is such a short sighted policy. This is the provincial government taking over massive amount of power from the municipalities without uploading off costs. Read more

Don’t restrict implementation of bike lanes. Let the municipalities decide. Keep the bike lanes that are already in place. Any restrictions will take the province backwards instead of forwards.

I do not support this idea. This idea encroaches on a municipal jurisdiction. This is adding more red tape and bureaucracy. I will not be voting for the Conservatives next election if this bill is passed.

The idea behind making bike lanes more difficult to create in order to reduce gridlock throughout the province does not seem to be the most effective way to accomplish this task. A large reason people don’t use bikes in Ontario is that there isn’t the infrastructure in place to support it. Read more

I urge the Premier's office to reconsider this proposal from intent to impact, and to reverse course entirely. The evidence shows that the bike lanes protect people, improve business. Cars are what causes gridlock, not bike lanes and not bikes. Read more

Bike use soars with installation of bike lanes. Reads headline from.major American city. Thats what Doug Ford loves, right? American values and cars - well there you go. Build bike lanes and the bikes come. Build car lanes and the cars will come. Congestion is congestion. STOP BILL 212 Read more

I both drive and bike on Bloor St and University Ave, frequently. Before bike lanes on University, I would never bike there because I was risking death. On Bloor it was dangerous but not outrageous. But now, these two bike corridors make biking so safe and fast in Toronto. AND Read more
