I can't understand why a government that is committed to reducing red tape is adding more red tape to straightforward municipal decisions about municipal transit. We already have processes for this.

I am horrified that Doug Ford wants to tear up the beautiful bike lanes that have been established in the City of Toronto over the last few years.

I strongly oppose Bill 212. I cycle on the Yonge cycle tracks about 6 days a week. If the cycle tracks are removed I will drive my car instead. Gridlock will get worse, not better, say the experts.

This bill is foolish. It's another example of the Premier being annoyed that he didn't get elected mayor of Toronto. He was elected to deal with bigger issues.

This bill is built on an assumption that bike lanes effect traffic which there is no evidence to support! Biking in the city without bike lanes will only lead to bikers taking up traffic lanes because there is no other space!
Do not spend tax dollars to remove any existing bike lanes! That is a colossal waste of time and money and moves our city in the wrong direction. Climate change should be a top priority and more ways to get people out of their single driver cars should be your focus.

Studies have shown that cities with protected bike lanes see significant increases in bike ridership. This demonstrates that when people feel safe and supported, they are more likely to choose cycling over other forms of transportation.

I cannot believe how much time and money is being spent by the provincial government to overturn the wishes of the citizens of Toronto. This whole exercise just illustrates how unserious Doug Ford is about tackling real issues such as health care and education.

Doug Ford should only be allowed to tear up cycling infrastructure if his fat ass can survive a 30min ride on a Bixi bike through rush hour traffic. This is an insane proposal that will kill citizens, and he’s fine with it because he knows they won’t vote for him.

As a person living in downtown Toronto who both drives and bikes, please do not remove the bike lanes. Biking within downtown makes movement much faster, it's healthy for us, and nets a lot less noise and smoke pollution.

I don’t agree at all with this proposed legislation. I walk down Bloor Street everyday and I see the bike lanes in use. They make it safer for cyclists to get around without being seriously injured or killed by drivers. Why do you as a government care only for drivers?

As a resident of downtown Toronto who frequently walks, bikes, takes public transit, and drives, I am deeply concerned about the recent discussions surrounding the removal of bike lanes from our city streets.

Bike lanes are need to help folks get to work same as drivers need to get to work and home in a safe mode of travel
You should be spending more money on cycling infrastructure
The proposed regulation is not based on facts but on the feelings of the Premier. A competent leader would follow studies and facts. The proposed regulation will do the opposite by increasing griflocks and endangering cyclists lives
Just wanted to say that I use the yonge bike lane to pick up my kid frequently and I cannot take her below Bloor because it’s just too chaotic without a bike lane.

I use the University bike lanes nearly every day to get to and from my Engineering job. The new lanes have turned biking into the safest, fastest, and cheapest option for me to get around downtown.
