The best way to reduce gridlock is to get cars off the road. This proposal introduces more red tape, and is a government overreach. The provincial government should not be in charge of municipal decisions.

Based on the fact that there is no credible study/information/precedent that suggests that bike lanes actually slow down traffic enough to be worrisome, this seems like a bureaucratic overreach to allow more provincial control that will appeal to a subset of voters. Read more

This is one of the most asinine law ideas I have ever heard of. Managing bike lanes is purely municipal jurisdiction. The provincial government should have no power over how a local municipality manages its roads. Read more

Bike lanes encourage alternative transit use. By making roads more unsafe for cyclists (removing bike lanes) more trips will be taken by car, and there will be less cyclists on the road. Read more

Mississauga - Bloor Street - reduction of lanes. Agree wholeheartedly with proposal not to reduce lanes - it makes sense and is certainly a right step in the direction.

As someone who lives and works in the applewood area for over 10 years, bike lanes are A HUGE hinderance to the flow of traffic. All of my neighbors and anyone I speak to are strongly against bike lanes. We have winter for 6 months out of the year, how is this even a consideration in Ontario?

I would support bill 212. The plan of reducing lanes on Bloor St in Mississauga has me and others very irritated. Put in a path for bikes if you must but not by reducing lanes. There was never a time I would have biked to work, or to the GO station or taken my two kids anywhere by bike. Read more

Is our transportation system meant to move cars? Or people? Should we only prioritize people passing through neighbourhoods, driving in from the suburbs/car-burbs? Or also the people that live there? Read more

We live in a time when the world is rapidly heating up due in part to emissions from cars, when the province is continuously failing to deliver on the Toronto LRT, when bikers—people trying to make a healthy, environmental transit choice—fear for their lives. Read more

I am NOT supportive of this new legislation. As a resident of Toronto, we sold our family's second car and now use a bike as our second family vehicle because of the biking routes and infrastructure now available in the city. Read more

Toronto needs more bike lanes, not less. Every school day I bike my two children to school. I take a 10 minute detour and bike on quieter streets otherwise my children and I are at a very real danger of getting hit by vehicles. In 2024 children should be able to bike to school and feel safe. Read more

It is a shortsighted and irresponsible waste of tax dollars to rip up existing bike lanes that help to prevent traffic. All experts on the subject agree that less bikes lanes equals more cars which equals more traffic. Read more
