These proposed regulations are an insult to cyclists and motorists alike. Want to improve congestion? Fund more rapid and urban public transit to disincentivize car use. The Ford government's contempt for people's health, safety and environmentally sustainable future couldn't be more clear.

As both a driver and a cyclist, I navigate the city using various modes of transportation. When possible, I choose to bike, which has significantly reduced my emissions and costs while providing an efficient means of travel.

I oppose this bill vehemently. Removing bike lanes will increase the risk of life to me and my two young children, who I transport on the back of my bike.
Horrible, horrible policy. Where is the money for hospitals? For nurses? For teachers? For autistic children? For housing? What happened to ending hallway healthcare?

I have grave concerns with provincial overreach into municipal matters here—municipalities have different needs and should be able to address them. Beyond this concern, all relevant data show that safe bike lanes encourage cycling and thus lead to fewer people in cars and reduction in traffic.

This is a garbage bill that seeks to cater to automobile drivers that live outside Toronto at the expense of Torontonians. The party of "small government" and "cutting red tape" wants to increase government overreach and add red tape to the process of creating bike lanes?

Provincial government shouldn't jurisdiction over municipal streets or creation of municipal bike lanes. It's an overreach of goverment powers and disappointing.

A bill regarding traffic with no plan to improve transit or INCREASE bike lanes defies logic or any evidence from other large cities, and contradicts real data from Toronto's own research.
Bike lanes are essential components of a road network designed to get people to and from their destinations as quickly and safely as possible. Municipalities are best equipped to decide when bike lanes are an appropriate addition to a road.

I’ve lived in Toronto for decades. Im a driver, pedestrian and a cyclist. I walk because our streets are vibrant and filled with life and because it’s how I like to experience the city. I bike for fun on trails and along the waterfront.

Removing a lane of traffic where drivers park (whether legally or illegally) to add a lane to move people more efficiently and safely is never a bad idea. After all, the right lane on most major streets moves zero cars, since drivers love stopping in it.
Good bike lanes help everyone. Each bike means one less car. Less pollution. Less gridlock.
Please improve bike lanes and add more.
Make sure cyclists are safe.
We are living in Ottawa where the public transportation is bad from planning, constructing to operation. The light rail project cost billions of dollars but it’s still not functioning as it should. Due to launch of the light rail, hundreds of buses have been canceled.

I think this proposal is incredibly foolish and wrongly blames bike lanes for the province's failure to enact any meaningful improvements to transit.

Restricting or removing bicycle lanes in the province at this point in the climate crisis is sheer folly and political pandering. The science is clear that we must do everything we can to encourage people to get out of their cars and on to public transit, bicycles, and on foot.

My commute is 24 mins by bike, 35 mins by car, and 40-60mins by public transit. If the bike lanes are removed, I will drive since the public transit has been consistently unreliable. There will be one more car on the road and much more CO2 emission.

Bill 212's provision allowing the province to approve or reject municipal decisions regarding bike lanes is inappropriate and unnecessary. Municipal governments are directly accountable to their residents and have a clearer understanding of local needs.
