This is ridiculous and you know it. Please respect what city tax payers want and that is for you not to remove the bike lanes, and add more bike lanes.
This is an obscene proposal. Bike lanes save lives. They reduce gridlock. They promote healthy living. They provide safe access for people who cannot afford cars. Please let the cities develop bike lanes.
Build better transit. More cars on the streets is more traffic and is dangerous for pedestrians and cyclists. Removing bike lanes will lose my vote for a long time.
I strongly oppose the new framework for requiring provincial approval for bike lanes that impact traffic lanes. I am both a motorist and a cyclist, and in both roles I prefer the presence of a bike lane even if it involves removal of a vehicle lane.

The death of cyclists and the horror it will bring to the victims families will be on your hands. Shame on you all for going ahead with a change backed by absolutely no data.
This is one of the worst pieces of legislation I've ever seen proposed. It reeks of a personal vendetta by the Premier against the City of Toronto, to shape the city according to his personal grudges regardless of who it hurts in the process.

My mother is in her 70s and her main form of transportation is by bicycle; she does not own a car. I’m concerned for her safety if bike lanes are removed as the more recent segregated paths offer so, so much more safety than simple paint on the road.

The proposed addendum to this bill goes against any sensible urban planning or environmental review. This addendum will remove infrastructure without any analysis of the environmental and other impacts of the removal.

Removing the Toronto bike lanes (University, Bloor, Yonge) is completely absurd and not based on any facts whatsoever. This will do nothing to solve congestion and is a complete overreach by the provincial government.

I am deeply concerned about rumoured provincial legislation leaked in a CBC report back on September 19th that would limit building new (and possibly remove existing) bike lanes.

Premier Ford, minsters, and MPPs,
I'm commenting on Bill 212 (Reducing Gridlock, Saving You Time Act, 2024) to voice my strong opposition to the bill for reasons I'm outlining below.

This is a terrible idea. I am a healthcare worker who uses these bike lanes regularly to commute to work. Removing them will force me into traffic where I will slow down vehicles and possibly end up being injured or worse. Plus the removal costs are a gargantuan waste of taxpayers dollars.
This bill will achieve exactly the opposite of what it says it will do. As someone who drives, bikes, and takes public transit, having a protected and separated bike lane is an essential piece of infrastructure that can only benefit a major thoroughfare like Bloor St, Yonge St, and University Ave.

I am really unhappy with this decision. I live in Eglinton-Lawrence, and spoke recently with my MPP Robin Martin who suggested that this type of infrastructure decision-making would be made on a case-by-case basis, and outside the downtown core. Clearly that was not the case.

Stop wasting taxpayer money on this bike lane non issue - it shouldn’t even be a provincial concern. This belongs to the cities. How about we focus on healthcare and education?
This is a waste of resources on a complete non-issue that municipalities are perfectly capable of managing on their own. The resources could be much better spent on healthcare, teaching, or housing. This bill makes me much less likely to ever want to vote for Doug Ford.
This bill is shameful. Before bike lanes were installed I have been hit by cars twice. I now exclusively ride in bike lanes as they are safer for me and drivers (and my kids who often ride in our trailer).
