Stop bill 212.
Build more bike lanes. I am 48 years old, white, male and I support more bike lanes on Bloor Street and Etobicoke. I drove and ride a bike.
It's simple. Bike lanes are good. We need more.
Thank you
Biking on roads in Ontario could be much a better experience if this bill were passed. It seems that the bike lanes in Kingston, my current place of residence, were an afterthought, hurriedly squeezed in on busy thoroughfares as an attempt to appease a growing number of bikers.

The construction of bike lanes at the expense of vehicle lanes, while potentially disruptive for those driving personal vehicles, presents an opportunity for and encourages modes of transport that are more efficient and environmentally friendly.

This is a short-sighted bill that will only make gridlock worse, will increase carbon emissions, and put cyclists’ lives at risk.
Please consider putting the money you would spend on ripping these lanes out on improving public transportation instead.
This is a horrendous bill that fails to acknowledge already determined facts about roads. You’re over reaching your authority and meddling in municipal decisions. Bike lanes and local infrastructure are the purview of each municipality and not a decision for the province.

This is so silly. It's just ruining cyclist safety! Instead of biking in a "bike lane" (for bikes) they will just have to bike on the road again. As well spending a ton of money removing just built bike lanes or rebuilding bike lanes once this government is voted out...
I live and work in downtown Toronto. I have lived here for 15 years, long before bike lanes started replacing car lanes. I have commute about 10km each way daily to work. I commute by various modes -- sometimes car, sometimes bike, sometimes public transit.

The provincial government's decision to limit the installation of bike lanes by municipalities is not based on facts. I have several points to make as follows:

We support bike lanes because as seniors we feel safer when bikes are NOT on sidewalks.
Same for scooters, skateboards etc.
Also as a small business we’ve seen more customers since bike lanes were added to streets like Bloor and we cant wait for bike lanes to be added on Mount Pleasant.

It is not true but bicycles increase congestion. In fact they decrease congestion. Please let municipalities decide for themselves how to manage their traffic.

I think this move by the Government is a bad one, it is going backwards. If we provide adequate public transportation this would not have been an issue as there would be lesser number of cars on the road.

Why is the Progressive Conservative Party called Progressive when all their policies are regressive? With this Ontario Government we are going backward, which will cost us and our children dearly in the very near future. Where is vision, strategy, and planning?

I am a new adult cyclist, and it has improved many aspects of my life. There have been motorcyclists and cyclists killed in traffic by motorists on my intersecting streets, which have no cycling lanes. I would like to commute but do not feel safe doing so.

This bill is downright awful policy that will do nothing to relieve congestion in the long run and will result in many more injured and dead cyclists.

Absolutely ridiculous idea to defect public from speaking about annexing the greenbelt and horribly underfunding the healthcare. According to many studies bike lanes DO NOT significantly SLOW DOWN THE TRAFFIC. Keep you grubby hands off the bike lanes and protected areas.
I am a civil designer in the transit sector designing light rail and roadways in the city of Toronto for 7 years. This is the single worst policy that I have ever seen. The risk to life imposed by this bill would be incomprehensible.

Red lights also cause congestion . Just look at the high number of stalled vehicles when lights are red. Please consider eliminating all red lights. Oh, and stop signs too.

Provincial government officials shouldn't get to dictate how cities run themselves. How many studies need to be done that show the same thing. More lanes for cars doesn't reduce traffic. Bike lanes make the roads safer The only way to reduce traffic is by removing cars from the roads.
