This act is shameful. The Environmental Assessment Act is there for good reason. Making it null and void so the government can push through building this highway is extremely short sighted, much like a lot of Doug Ford's changes since his election.

I oppose removal of bike lanes. I live near the Bloor St bike lane at Jane St. The bike lanes are so important to make it safe for kids to bike in our neighbourhood. It allows us to be active as a family.

This seems like another vengeful jab from a sad small-hearted man with a broken ego from losing the big city election.
Cyclists will be forced to ride in streets and take up a whole lane. This will make the commute LONGER
As a person who has used bikes to get around since childhood this saddens me. There were many times as a child and young adult that I had to make risky decisions while biking due to the lack of proper infrastructure.

This bill is a huge waste of public time and money. Most cities have robust and throughly review and design of bicycle infrastructure. We don't need the province to micromanage our cities.

You cannot fix a problem created by cars, with more cars. This WILL result in people dying, MORE congestion, and a worse experience for drivers.

As a driver and as a pedestrian, I think that the amount of construction on Toronto’s city streets contributes far more to congestion than bike lanes.

Besides being an egregious overstep by the provincial government, if implemented, removal of bike lanes will put lives at risk and as such is grossly irresponsible. The Government's responsibility is to ensure the safety of ALL residents of the province.

Please keep and maintain the bike lanes throughout the cities and towns in Ontario. They are well used, save lives, and help to reduce environmental degradation through reducing the number of cars on the roads.

Premier Doug Ford doesn't understand that Toronto is now a global city and not the regional city he grew up in. Streets like Bloor can't be widened, and the population will continue to grow.

As a resident of Toronto I disapprove of this proposal. I use bike lanes to commute to work, these changes will force bikes on the roads with cars and put my life in danger. I think the province has overstepped their bounds. Locally elected councillors can decide about bike lanes in their ward.

This is the last straw for me. I know it seems hyperbolic to say I am leaving the province because of bike lane legislation but I'm done. You don't want middle-class people to raise their families here? Fine. Good luck with the hellscape this city has become.
Finally a voice of reason on this matter! All of the people involved in the planning and installation of the bike lanes on Bloor in west Toronto should step down over this project. What an abhorrent waste of tax payer dollars.

I strongly disagree with this bill. One more lane of traffic might save a couple of minutes at the expense of cyclists' lifes. It is not worth it. We need bike lanes and investment in public transit instead.
Hello,
I’m writing to you because I strongly oppose the proposal for Bill 212 (ERO number 019-9266).
Bike lanes saves lives. They also are kind to our climate, boost small businesses, and help traffic flow better.

Closing bike lanes in Toronto is a very bad idea. It will increase the danger for cyclists and do little to alleviate traffic congestion. The solution to congestion is to improve public transportation such that more people would choose it over driving.
