We support Bill 212 and the removal of bike lanes on University, Yonge and Bloor. The City wants to encourage more people to bike and not to drive. Not everyone who can drive a car, can ride a bike. Read more

I am a longtime resident of Toronto. I get around the city by many means: bike, public transit, foot and car. I do not think the proposed legislation is sound for many reasons. Read more

I am disappointed to see the province intervening in municipal matters. Bikes lanes are important for a healthy and environmentally friendly life style. It also reduces traffic since bikes do not take the entire lane. With the amount of cyclist who have died in traffic this is discouraging

Bike lanes made my life better, easier and safer. I use them almost every day to commute, including most of winter, and they are a essential part of my everyday. I also visit more shops as I have more money - not owning a car - and easy access. Read more

Re Bill 212: We do not need provincial oversight of the city's bike lanes. Can Premier Ford please stop micromanaging Toronto with his pet projects and petty gripes. Read more

Don't remove the bike lanes. The effect of mass immigration and an over reliance on Toronto as the sole place to find jobs/entertainment/resources is what's causing the majority of the traffic in this city. The bike lanes and some pavement on the ground is not the main contributor. Read more

There’s no need to remove the bike lanes. They help make Toronto a more livrable, greener city. Why are we promoting car-centric culture when the earth is dying from global warming caused by GHG emissions? Most vehicles are single occupants. That’s why there’s so much vehicular in the city.

My wife and I business owners who employ a handful of amazing young technology experts. We ALL use the bike lanes to get to work. I oppose the plan to remove bike lanes in Toronto. Read more

This is the worst laid out proposal for a bill I have read. Coming from the military I’m pretty used to having to understand the lowest common denominator but this is straight up trying to divide by zero. Read more

This proposal stinks of ideological bias. There does not appear to be any serious attempt to conduct a review of expert advice on the impacts these decisions could have. Read more

People will still ride bikes but now they will be in main road causing even more traffic. Ripping out the bike lanes is expensive disruptive construction that won’t even help anything. It’s a waste of tax dollars,

The bike lanes on University have been a core part of my commute. There is no other safe, efficient bike route to get from Harbourfront north to College. Try it. Bike that route yourselves. There's no "side street" that crosses the GO train tracks. Read more

This short-sighted decision will absolutely cost lives, killing cyclists and pedestrians in Toronto, and flies in the face of all evidence supporting the benefits of bike lanes for cyclists AND motorists. To accept these changes is to put politics above real, tangible progress that benefits all.

Removing bike lanes is absolutely absurd and will only lead to more traffic and deaths of cyclists because they’ll now be driving in traffic. The provincial government should focus on fixing real problems within its mandate such as healthcare, homelessness and the cost of living. Stop this madness.

This is by far the second dumbest thing that’s happened in the last few weeks aside from the rebate cheques. Why does the Ford government struggle to manage our provincial budget while also struggling string together common sense policies? Are there any competent ministers anywhere? Read more
