Hi, cycling makes our city better to live in, reducing pollution, congestion and improving health. please stop politicising cycling, it does you no credit.

Since the installation of the Bloor and College St bike lanes, I have for the first time in my entire life as Toronto citizen (25 years), felt safe enough to use my bike to get to and from work.

Bike lanes are an essential part of traffic infrastructure. They ensure a safer environment for cyclists, reduce traffic congestion by getting people out of cars and enhance cycling experiences in all places they are used.

This legislation will not solve our transit issues. By removing bike lanes traffic will increase due to least transit diversity and biking will become incredibly unsafe for millions of commuters.

The proposed policy, as written, would be ineffective, regressive, and dangerous to the thousands of cyclists who choose to bicycle on municipal streets. The idea that cyclists can simply use 'side streets' to get to their destination is misguided.

I strongly oppose the provincial government's involvement in municipal traffic design. This measure is wasteful in terms of expense and time, and will only make government less responsive to the desires of local residents.
As a longtime Toronto resident I am disgusted that the Ontario Provincial Government ie Conservatives, is focused on municipal issues like bike lanes when Ontario’s healthcare and education systems are in dire need of attention and funding.

Removing bike infrastructure will kill people. This is an asinine proposal. Eliminating bike lanes will not improve traffic and it is a complete waste of money to remove newly installed bike lanes (for example, on University Ave.

Will you take responsible for the inevitable death, injury, long term disabilities and horrific brain damage this legislation will cause to pedestrians and cyclists including children and the elderly. This will do nothing to reduce gridlock and save time and you know it.

This would be devastating. I and so many people I know rely on this infrastructure to bike safely, for our loved ones not to fear for our lives, and to get around the city.

This policy proposal is not well thought out. I think it can be argued that a municipality knows its community and its community’s needs better than the provincial government, therefore giving them the necessary information to develop bike lanes as needed.

There is no concrete evidence that bike lanes are the main cause of the current grid lock in Toronto. This is meddling in the affairs of municipalities without having boots on the ground and the proper reach and expertise to handle this matter.

Provincial approval of bike lanes that remove a lane of traffic is overreach into municipal affairs and a poor use of time and resources from my provincial government.
Read more
Bike lanes keep our citizens safe, help keep traffic moving by encouraging people to bike instead of drive, and increase income for nearby businesses. They are good for the environment, and are much cheaper than adding transit or car lanes. But most importantly they are a municipal decision.

I think this Bill 212 does the exact opposite of what it's intended to do. If we are trying to stop gridlock in the city we need less cars in the city. Safe bike lanes have immensely helped getting people out of their cars and using other modes of transportation.
Read more
This new legislation is, on so many levels, counterintuitive. Communities in Ontario and across Canada have been moving ever so slowly to move away from the prioritization of the motor vehicle by enhancing access to alternate methods of safe, viable and green transportation.

This is a horrible plan. It is not sustainable and will only increase gridlock in the long term. I am a driver and I want to use my car less and have better bike and transit options available for me. I want more bike lanes, not less!

I do not support Doug Fords position on allowing the provincial government to dictate to municipalities where to add bicycle lanes and I certainly do not support the provincial government dictating to my city where they can add and have to remove bicycle lanes.
