I strongly oppose the removal of bike lanes. I live in Etobicoke and am directly impacted by the Bloor bike lanes. Despite their impact on me as a driver I see their value. These are also municipal decisions and should be left to the city to decide.
This is an absolutely ridiculous piece of legislation. Our local businesses have IMPROVED because many more people are willing to walk along Yonge street without the worry of a car driving too fast inches from the sidewalk.

Given that urban roadways are limited in width and rarely extendable, bike lanes necessarily take up some of the space formerly occupied by cars. However cyclists deserve as much consideration as do drivers and need space to ride safely.

This is I'll informed and reactionary legislation. The province should allow municipalities to determine where bike lanes are and are not suitable, as they are better connected to local residents and businesses.
This is a nonsense bill aimed to punish the woefully underserved bicyclists even more. My question is - why are you driving in downtown Toronto if not to simply torture yourself?

Bike lanes improve our city, Toronto, in numerous ways. They benefit our environment, health, safety, and economy. They make downtown more pleasant, more vibrant, and more accessible. We should keep the bike lanes we have, and continue to create more. This is progress.
I am writing to formally oppose the proposal to remove bike lanes in Toronto, a measure that disregards both traffic data and community safety while undermining municipal governance.

Issues like this should be left to the Toronto residents, council, and mayor to decide, not the province. This and other issues like the reduction of Toronto council seats in the run-up to an election make me wonder if Mr.

There are many egregious elements to this proposed law, not the least of which is that it will do nothing in the long run to reduce the traffic congestion it pretends to be about.

I am a resident of Toronto. I own a bike, a car and have a Presto card to use public transit. All of these are forms of transportation that I use regularly and daily. Bill 212 seems to be a complete overreach of the provincial government.

Mr. Ford, I really hope you read this comment and all the others seeing how much you seem to care. This proposal is completely not thought out and ignores the actual experts. The data you use to back up your logic is either completely of date or completely made up. Mr.

All these bike lanes being pushed on us by special interests at the expense of active driving or parking lanes is insane. I’ve stood on bloor street at avenue road on a weekend and watched the occasional bike wiz by while traffic is ground down to a stop.

REMOVING and BANNING bike lanes is an absolute joke. You look like you are in the pocket of car and oil companies- outdated and dangerous technologies- at the expense of the global climate and human lives. Stop this corrupt foolishness, keep the bike lanes.
This is a regressive step and does not align with latest data sustainability initiatives. With the climate change crisis we should be encouragimg people to use bikes instead we arw doing the opposite.
I am never voting for this govt again.
This is one of many common sense initiatives that require strong leadership and effective imminent action- the bulk of the taxes for road infrastructure and maintenance arrive from drivers, who purchase automobiles, pay tax on fuel, taxes on repairs, taxes on insurance -

I, a Mississauga resident, pedestrian and transit rider, felt esctatic when I heard the city was planning to build a bike lane to my place of work near Dupont. Some of the bike lanes on Davenport are already fantastic.

This proposal is infuriating. Once again, the province is meddling in municipal affairs which are not its concern. And specifically in Toronto, which is the only city whose streets are specifically mentioned.
