I oppose Bill 212. Bike lanes are vital to our cities and all evidence demonstrates that they reduce congestion. Our tax paying dollars have gone to the creation of bike lanes, it would be fiscally irresponsible to remove them, and the added construction would create more congestion.

I wholeheartedly disagree with Bill 212. Bike lanes are a crucial part of transportation infrastructure, providing a critical alternative to driving and protecting vulnerable cyclists. Cars should not be the only way to get around our cities, and need to stop getting priority.

Toronto city council lacks the competence and the interest to understand the mobility implications for the majority of the population resulting from the changes they make to the streets of the city.

Montreal has a transportation network that is better than Toronto's.
“Wrong-headed is an understatement,” says Toderian. “This is like instituting a ban on intelligence.”
Is that how backwards we want to become?

Dear Premier Ford. I live in the City of Toronto. I am a white middle aged man. I own a car. I also cycle or walk for most of my work and personal activities in the City. What is most important to me is safety. What I don't want is to be maimed or killed while riding my bicycle.

Regarding the proposed amendments to Part XII: I am deeply concerned about the negative impact this legislation would have on cyclist safety and sustainable transportation initiatives in our community and across Ontario.

This is a terrible act. It will not reduce gridlock and will make roads less safe. People who are cycling and not using the roads will return to the roads, causing more traffic. This act does not get at the root cause of the issue.

I am writing to beg of the government to not pass this bill. At a time when climate change is making action more and more critical, this is such a step in the wrong direction. We need more, not fewer bike lanes.

Bike lanes are being added to cities and communities around the world. Adding road lanes actually increases congestion and makes the roads far less safe for pedestrians and drivers.

The removal of existing bike lanes in Ontario , and specifically Toronto, will not reduce gridlock, in fact it will add more traffic to the roads by forcing commuters who would have previously been biking into cars.

This proposal is a horrific step backwards for the province of Ontario because it has been proven that bike lanes reduce congestion (see link).

You should be ashamed of yourselves putting the wants of personal vehicle owners over the safety of pedestrians, cyclist, and the general public.

Please do not go forward with this bill.
It makes no sense for the Province to get involved with municipalities' right to install bike lanes. This bill will just add more bloat and costs to the process of approval, wasting time and taxpayers' money.

Bike lanes within a community should be up to the community themselves and their constituents. Bike lanes promote public and personal health, as well as environmental health, and finding ways to integrate bicyclists and motorists safely is key for moving forward as our population grows.
