Horrible proposal. Completely counterproductive and anti-safety on bike lanes and not as slick as the PC government thinks it is about trying to cover up what they are trying to do with the 413.
Anyone supporting this should be ashamed of themselves.
This bill is incredibly regressive and puts cyclists at risk. To reduce gridlock, a strategy that incorporates several different modes of transportation is required. As a Toronto taxpayer, you are wasting our tax dollars by ripping up already installed infrastructure.

For a government who claims to focus on reducing excess spending, I believe that spending money on removing bike lanes that were just put in is a huge excess.

This policy is RIDICULOUS. It’s an overreach. It’s unnecessary. There is a subway you can take if you don’t like driving. Cyclists are dying and this will ensure more are killed. Why isn’t this government concerned with real problems?
This will not improve congestion. If this was a serious framework on congestion it would begin with transparent data collection and studies that could determine where and when bike lines are best suited instead of ripping up millions worth of infrastructure that has just been completed.
This is a terrible idea. We need more bike lanes, not fewer. This will not reduce gridlock, it will make it worse. It's also a huge waste of money. There are so many things, like healthcare, that this money would be better spent on
The idea that recovering a lane on Yonge, Bloor and University is going to improve gridlock is quite frankly laughable. Traffic flow AND public transit infrastructure and active transportation infrastructure needs will just increase with immigration.

I am strongly against removing bike lanes in these areas of Toronto
Bike lanes have significantly reduced my commute time (by bike and vehicle), not increased

Definitely support removing bike lanes from Bloor Street West in Etobicoke. Bike lanes are not used much and now we idle in our cars, going at snail's pace and spewing more pollution.
I live in Toronto and rely on bike lanes to commute and keep my teenage son alive when he rides to school.
Toronto needs more bicycle infrastructure and investment in transit.
This bill is asinine, will hurt people in the city and only help people from outside Toronto.
This proposal moves Ontario backwards. Studies into the effectiveness of various interventions on commute times, including those commissioned by this government, indicate that we need to be doing the exact opposite of this bill.

It is very disappointing to see that the Ford government is wasting time meddling in municipal affairs. The Ford government should be focusing on healthcare, housing, and education for Ontarians, but instead they are spending their time on something that is handled by municipal governments.

Bill 212 is frustratingly backward, it is plainly ideological policy.
The ideas put forward are not evidence based, in fact these measure are the opposite of transportation experts say will reduce gridlock.
More highways and less bike lanes will not reduce gridlock.

This is an incredible waste of taxpayer money. These lanes are already heavily used and only recently installed. This is outrageous overreach by the provincial government and does absolutely nothing to reduce congestion in Toronto, as research clearly shows.

I support bike lanes as follows:
1. Make all city bike lanes bi-directional on one side of the street only, e.g. the south side of Lake Shore Blvd west of the Humber
2. Use photo cameras to charge bike, e-bike and e-scooter riders for crossing against red lights

Don't get rid of the bike lanes. Active commuting and reducing reliance on cars have obvious environmental and health benefits. For goodness' sake, do the right thing for our future generations and keep building more bike lanes
I cycle to work as part of my daily commute every day because it is the fastest and most affordable way for me to get from point A to B in the city. I also own a car and drive for most trips other than my daily commute.
