Please re-consider the bike lane portion of Bill 212. It is incomplete and appears to be rushed to print as the specified criteria have not been stated. How can anyone comment fully when all the facts are unavailable? This framework needs much more work before becoming part of any bill. Read more

If we, as residents, have elected a mayor or city councilor to represent our interests, and we want bike lanes in our neighborhood because we see them as necessary, and as the needed solution to address gridlock why should the province interfere? Read more

Supporting cycling in a major city like Toronto is one of the best ways to reduce the number of cars on the road—too many cars is the CAUSE of gridlock. Therefore, it makes no sense to restrict the creation of bike lanes where they take a lane away from motor vehicles. Read more

Bike lanes are keeping our roads safe and fight against congestion. Cyclists will be put at great risk if this bill passes. The premier should focus on access to healthcare instead.

This bill is a slap in the face to vulnerable road users in Ontario. The safety of cyclists should not be an afterthought to a slight inconvenience to drivers, who are sitting safe and secure in their vehicles. Read more

The Bill is very disappointing to see being brought forward, it is a overstep into the municipal jurisdiction. To quote: “The federal government, the provincial government, doesn't know best. The municipalities know best and we're going to work with them,” - Ford. Read more

This is ridiculous legislation that is going to put cyclists safety at risk. It appears to go against all kinds of evidence that supports cycling infrastructure. Cyclists are tax payers too. Why not focus efforts on improving driver behavior and the entitled idiots who block traffic? Read more

The Ford government's plans to have provincial power to veto any municipal plans for bike lanes (or remove existing bike lanes) under the guise of reducing gridlock, which studies show just isn't true, is ridiculous. Read more

The removal of bike lanes is an overreach by this province that will worsen traffic conditions. It strips away the right for cyclists to use alternative transportation, disregarding those who prefer not to drive. This approach feels stuck in a 1950s mindset. Read more

I am highly in favour in my support of the removal of bike lanes on major arterial roads where it makes the most sense...by which I mean those roadways that have been reduced drastically down to one lane in each direction to accommodate these bike lanes and which are not even being used by Cyclists.

Let each municipality have their own say on bike lanes and vehicle lanes - MTO stay out of it. They have designed their own transportation master plans, have their own studies and do not need big brother dictating their “Toronto based issues” in cities like Ottawa for example. Read more

This bill is not about reducing Gridlock. This is showing that the different layers of government cannot work together and pushing dictatorship instead of collaboration. This bill is an open door to introduce more hostility towards cyclists specially in Toronto.

This proposal will have devastating consequences for Ontarians that are both bikers AND drivers, like myself. You should be encouraging multi-modal transit options, not trying to get everyone back into their cars. Read more

I do not believe in Doug Ford, I do not trust his "environmental inspections", I do not trust his intentions, I do not trust the people who vote for him. Cars are not our future, Ford. Cars will be our tomb. Read more
