I do not think it is appropriate for the provincial government to impose its will this much on a municipality. While municipalities are creatures of the province per Ontario's Planning Act, this seems like an overreach and abuse of power. Read more

This bill is a deplorable use of our taxpayer dollars. The bike lanes have been developed and just barely been put to use and removing them will cost too much extra money and create more construction which is already a major issue hindering the traffic in key streets in Toronto. Read more

This is entirely an act of provincial overreach. Municipalities have a better idea of their local transit requirements and needs than a partisan at the behest of a government that prizes car traffic above all else. Read more

I oppose the removal of bike lanes in Toronto main streets namely Bloor, Yonge and Avenue road. One cyclist was killed on Bloor at Avenue Rd this August because the bike lane was blocked by a construction vehicle. Read more

Thank you for letting me comment. I would like to raise my concern with this bill. My main issue is this bill impairs municipal governments ability to make good decisions based on the reasonable information they have and properly represent the people who voted for them. Read more

I love the bike lanes. For the first time, I see families, commuters, seniors, door dash bikers, commuters using the lanes. We MUST give citizens time to get used to the lanes being there and deciding to use them. Read more

I strongly oppose the removal of existing alternate transit infrastructure. As a daily commuter cyclist the introduction of cycle lanes on Bloor and Danforth has made me feel safer and enabled me to significantly reduce my carbon footprint as well as saving me money. Read more

I'm confused as to the reasoning behind this. If people on the bikes that use bike lanes don't have lanes to use, wouldn't that encourage them to drive more which would INCREASE gridlock. Bikes are still smaller than cars, yes? Read more

I have mainly two opinions on this proposal. First, I think it is more important to think of bikers safety more than motor vehicle drivers time and economic impact. Read more

This attack on bike lanes and particularly the proposal to remove bike lanes from Toronto streets is not supported by evidence (both local and international) of value to the environment, to enhanced mobility goals for all road users, to health and safety benefits for pedestrians, cyclists and driver Read more

I am against Ontario Bill 212 (Reducing Gridlock, Saving You Time Act, 2024) for several critical reasons. The proposal to remove bike lanes as a means of reducing traffic congestion is fundamentally flawed and unsupported by evidence. Read more

I'll have you know that I will be taking the lane while biking if this passes. This is the most ridiculous overreaches, fix healthcare! Build housing! People living in Sudbury don't want to pay for local issues like this. Grow up!
