This bill is a complete slap in the face to the people of Toronto. This city needs more investment in alternatives to driving, including public transportation and bike lane, and not less. I am furious to know that the Province is considering using my tax dollars to remove public infrastructure.

I am shocked at the decision to remove bike lanes - bike lanes keep people safer than riding in traffic. Unless, of course, somebody parks in them. There have been 6 deaths this year, that is 6 too many!!

The city of Toronto conducted a lot of consultations before installing these bike lanes. The province should ABSOLUTELY not be involved in this process. Time and time again research shows that adding more lanes does not reduce gridlock, yet Mr. Ford thinks that this will help.

I fully support the government for the removal of the bike lanes along bloor street west. Especially in the kingsway, where they have caused havoc for emergency vehicles in the area due to very poor planning by the city if toronto.

Leave the bike lanes alone. This is a gross overstepping of municipal jurisdiction and a huge waste of time and money. More cars create the traffic, not bike lanes. Protected bike lanes save lives, encourage healthy living and offer alternative transportation.

I am a 13 year old and when I’m concerned about this proposal! Instead of removing bike lanes, we should be adding them and striving towards a zero emission province. Removing bike lanes is promoting driving and helping carbon dioxide spread all over the planet.

We protested against this last week at Queen's Park in large numbers and you still aren't t
listening. Instead you doubled down on a BAD series of decisions (aka Bill 212).

It's hard for me to see this bill as anything other than a case of massive provincial overreach by out of touch OPC politicians who aren't materially impacted by the decisions they're making.

Bike lanes in Toronto are KEY to reducing gridlock and encouraging an alternative (and free!) way of commuting. I am angered by the decision to remove this critical infrastructure along with the waste of money to do so. My entire family depends on the safety of these bike lanes.

This government should absolutely not move forward with this bill until it has provided thorough evidence that this will, in fact, reduce gridlock, motor vehicle deaths, sustainability etc.

This is a terrible, dangerous idea, along with being ridiculous--cars are what cause congestion. This CBC article from this year goes into all the benefits of bike lanes, including easing, not increasing, congestion plus benefits to do with emissions and climate change.

This is ridiculous. We use the bike lane every day…please don’t get rid of them…especially the beautiful new bloor and university lanes. Yonge is important as well…I live in rosedale and would be pissed if these disappeared…
The removal of bike lanes is a backwards move. Focusing on car-centric city design by adding more lanes for cars is not a sustainable transit solution.

RE: Update
For this government to target vulnerable road users and remove safe cycling infrastructure for those who choose to *not* burn fossil fuels in their commutes, is absolutely unacceptable.

I completely agree with this. The decision-makers at Toronto City Hall need more oversight. Many people are losing valuable family time due to policies that seem to cater to a specific agenda.

This bill quite frankly is a waste of government time and taxes. It is an insult to the tax paying citizens of Ontario who have to risk their lives when they bike because the province won’t permit bike lanes on an urban road.

I don’t believe the Ford government has done what they needed to do to in order to serve this city by removing bike lanes. Biased research studies to support this idea is unacceptable and the city needs to move towards a less car-reliant system.
