Please keep to provincial and not city matters. There are more concerns out there beyond Toronto and bike lanes like hmmm ... health care? Education? Also, more than a little suspicious someone is only concerned about the lanes on THEIR commute to Queen's Park.

I don't expect any better of Doug Ford, but is everyone else involved in this process too cowardly to point out the obvious flaws in this plan? Too craven to stand up for what is right? The plan isn't even clever or devious - it's transparently idiotic. Read more

The additional bureaucracy and bigger government proposed here is baffling. Leave municipal decisions to municipalities and start fixing real problems like healthcare, mass transit, and cost of living. Read more

I use the Bloor and University bike infrastructure extensively. Even during the winter months I use them. Over the 8 years that I've been living downtown I've used my bike to get around as I don't need a car. Read more

I am begging you to make evidence-based decisions. A few people complaining that bikes cause congestion does not make it true. If all the people on bikes got into cars, that would make it worse. Read more

It’s hard to imagine a bigger waste of provincial resources than this proposal. If the city consults with the people who live and work in that community and they agree that there should be a bike lane, why would the province ever need to step in? To defend whose interests? Read more

I am writing to let you know that I am totally and strongly AGAINST this proposal. I am a 53 year old woman and my mode of transportation in Toronto is mainly bicycle. In the past 30 years of biking in Toronto, I have been hit by no fewer than 5 cars. Read more

Bill 212 would be terrible for public safety. Cities already have local democratic processes to make decisions at the local level. City residents can hold local officials accountable for all decisions about infrastructure. Read more

As a single parent tax-paying Toronto resident who relies on biking as my primary form of transportation (as well as that of my young kid) to support my livelihood throughout the majority of the year, I am COMPLETELY opposed to Bill 212. Read more

I disagree completely with this proposal - I am a driver in Toronto and have found streets with bike lanes are easier on traffic flow. I drive on University Avenue almost everyday and the new bike lanes are fantastic in keeping the cars moving. Read more

Removing bike likes will not reduce gridlock. This policy is a joke and is not based on any evidence, this is Doug Ford pandering to the suburbs who go to Toronto basically never. This policy will also increase green house emissions as more people will need to use cars and trucks to get around. Read more

Please do not remove any bike lanes! The LAST thing Toronto needs is more road work, that will not reduce gridlock at all. This is a stupid, short sighted and petty decision that flagrantly disregards actual data and abuses provincial power. Read more

The amendment from October 31, 2024 seems unnecessary and wasteful. It does not make sense to remove existing infrastructure that is a benefit for the car driving population. Read more
