To remove bike lanes is beyond measure the most inefficient plan I have ever heard of. Having bike lanes does not increase traffic, read the research. We need to lower our use of cars and address this climate emergency, driven by fossil fuel.

I live in the City of Toronto in Davenport and I fully support the bike lanes on Bloor Street and University Avenue. I want more bike lanes everywhere in our city.

You're telling me that moving a 2 tonne vehicle through the streets of Toronto causes less gridlock than a 10lb bike. This is a waste of resources, time, and a backwards step for pedestrian infrastructure but I would expect nothing less from Doug Ford.
As a resident of Toronto with two small children who bikes to work regularly, your proposal to remove bike lanes makes no sense to me. The sections of Bloor that have protected bike lanes are the only sections of my drive where I feel safe riding my bike.

I don't like the proposal to remove the bike lanes. It seems like the province is pushing municipalities around for no real benefit to anyone. The bike lanes are in place, and it's a waste of taxpayer money to go to all the work of tearing them out at this point.

I'm a bike rider who comutes to work on bloor every single day. Cars are so dangerous and do not respect riders who share the road. I've lost friends and friends over the years due to the lack of saftey for riders. This bill will hurt kill more people.

The Province should not be interfering in the City of Toronto's decision to build bike infrastructure given that the citizens of Toronto have voted for pro-bike lane councillors and mayors.

Millions of Ontarians have no family doctor ER closures across the province and this is the focus? Beyond ridiculous. Toronto residents paid for the bike lanes infrastructure. Now EVERY person will pay to remove them.

As a driver, I find the segregation of cars from bikes in bike lanes very helpful and less stressful as I worry about cyclist safety when they are mixed in with cars. It is difficult to track them when they are alongside my car.

I am deeply disappointed with this proposal as it will instill a negative mindset around cyclists, make it less safe for cyclists to comfortably move around the city, and is absolutely backwards in terms of making Toronto a world-class city.

I live in Sunnylea and have witnessed first hand the detrimental impact the bike lanes have had on the Kingsway neighborhood. They were installed with little or faulty data that has never been shared. It is a running joke that the bike lanes are virtually empty all of the time even in the summer.

You need to tackle CARS ILLEGALLY PARKED OR STOPPED ON MAIN STREETS. Everyday I drive in Toronto there are cars parked in no stopping zones or cars parked in space where parking is prohibited at that time of day. This reduces the whole lane of traffic.

Bill 212 is a dangerously regressive piece of legislation masquerading as a solution to traffic congestion. In reality, it's an assault on evidence-based urban planning, environmental protection, and local democracy.

The bike lanes along these corridors are absolutely essential for people who want to make environmentally and financially responsible choices. Without them I will be forced to drive on a daily basis, contributing to our pollution and carbon outputs.

I am very disheartened by the tabling of this bill. I have lived in Toronto for 16 years and the evolution of bike lane infrastructure has been critical to my life here. I have biked to work for most of my life here, including my current job where I bike 12km from the west end to downtown.

“You’re nervous when there’s no bike lanes. At least I was. We have to do everything we can to make sure three’s never a death in the city. One death is way too many when it comes to bicycle riders." Doug Ford TVO, 2017
