Bike lanes keep people safe. Toronto has already seen a six fold increase in cyclist deaths in 2024 compared to 2023. To undo the work put into essential safety infrastructure to is an absolute waste of tax payers money and time.

I do not understand why the Ontario government wants to implement such a short-term policy of spending more money to remove all the bike lanes after we have already spent all this time and money to get them all approved and built. Read more

What a shameful overreach by the provincial government, and for what? At a time when nothing is affordable you want to remove safe laneways for people to use alternate forms of transportation, so that more people can clog the roads with cars they can’t afford?

As a longtime resident of Toronto who both owns a car and cycles in the city, I am absolutely confident the major issues with gridlock in this province come from the underfunding of regional transit infrastructure and large trucks clogging our highways. Read more

As a Toronto citizen, it is despicable to suggest that the rights of automobile drivers is priority over that of cyclists, especially in the midst of an ongoing climate crisis. If anything, it should be easier for bike lanes to be approved on both a municipal and provincial level. Read more

I have serious concerns about this proposed legislation. Why is the provincial government so anti- science and anti- data? Data shows that bike lanes improve gridlock, often by taking cars off the road or by improving traffic flow. Read more

The bike lanes in Toronto have been the fastest way for me to get around. They have been the safest for me when they are protected, and I’ve seen firsthand how better bile lanes encourage people to get out of their cars (reducing gridlock) and ride a bike when possible. Read more

In these high cost of living times, Ontarians need affordable commutes. I cannot afford a car and bike to work every day. Protected bike lanes make that possible. Cycling on the road with large SUVs and trucks is incredibly dangerous. Read more

It is an absurd overreach for the province to interfere with the planning of municipal infrastructure which is paid for with municipal taxes. Cities have a right to set their own urban planning priorities.

I live in Parry Sound, long time conservative voter, and think this is a terrible proposal. I don't care about bike lanes. Why should my taxes that I pay to the province go to regulating bike lanes in Toronto or Ottawa or wherever, it's just added bureaucracy. Read more

Removing bike lanes to make space for cars has historically not helped with reducing traffic. Creating safe bike infrastructure and encouraging people to drive less HAS reduced traffic. It’s also better for the environment and makes our city a better place to live. Read more

Bill 212 represents a misguided use of taxpayer money, centered around a divisive political issue. Bike lanes, especially protected ones, provide a safe, efficient alternative to car travel, offering residents the choice to adopt more sustainable transportation methods. Read more

I wholeheartedly oppose Bill 212. I bike, drive, and take transit in downtown Toronto, giving me firsthand experience with the city’s transportation challenges from all perspectives. Read more

Please do not take away our bike lanes from us. They protect lives. I do not feel safe on the street in between cars. I do not support the decision to remove or restrict bike lanes. Bikes are safer and healthier for nature. Thanks for your time.
