This is an absurd over-reach by the provincial government. The decision to add bike lanes falls under municipal jurisdiction and the City of Toronto's decision to add bike lanes to key corridors was informed by public consultation and data.

I am 100% for the removal of ALL bike lanes clogging up our once beautiful city. I support fully the Ontario Ford governments plan to move in and remove them.
Our emergency vehicles cannot get thru the congestion, and we already have very slow response times for emergency calls.

Why are tax dollars best used on costly, disruptive demolition of the bike infrastructure that provides healthier, more eco-friendly commute options to so many residents and visitors in Toronto?

This is a terrible, terrible idea. The bike lanes on Bloor have made a huge improvement in my quality of life and ability to get around the city quickly and safely. Not just me but so many people I know (including children).
Bill 212 will not work. The idea that removing bike lanes will relieve congestion is demonstrably false. If this Bill passes and the provincial government uses my tax money to remove bike lanes, traffic will not improve.

This is a shameful overreach and a slap in the face to Toronto taxpayers. This is OUR city - back off and stay in YOUR lane Premier Ford. Shame on you.
Build more lanes in your own backyard and stay out of our city. The people of Toronto deserve better.

I'm retired, and I still ride my bike. I used to ride it to work, despite the difficulties of doing so without protected bike baths. Recently, I rode it along the Bloor West bike lanes to get to my hair dresser, and to my dentist. It was wonderful!

Hello. Bike lanes are essential for the safety of the city’s cyclists. Cycles provide an essential alternative to cars for many of the city’s population - who will likely be forced to use cars if not provided a safe lane to bike in.

Bike lanes are an integral part of reducing congestion and improving the health of our transportation system. Costly construction will only cost taxpayers time and money and will make traffic worse in both the short-term, and long-term.

This is absolute garbage. This is a disgusting overreach by the provincial government, managing by gut feeling, instead of the data. The facts around travel efficiencies from bike lanes, both for cyclists have proven themselves out time and time again.

Ripping out bike lanes is an outrageous act of overreach by the government of Ontario and a complete waste of taxpayer money. I’m truly appalled by this meddling of municipal affairs.
The removal of bike lanes is a terrible idea that hurts the ability for people to not only exercise in a highly urban environment but also critical transit diversity (which is clearly needed with the inefficiencies of car traffic in the downtown core and issues with the TTC [the answer to which is M

I grew up in Toronto, but lived elsewhere for most of my adult life, including 5 years outside of Ontario. I moved back to Toronto in September 2023. People frequently ask me how the city has changed in the several years I was away.

Bike lanes improve congestion, overall reduce the speed of roads around them, and are better for the environment. They also give people another choice rather than driving.
This bill, on the other hand, will make all of those things worse.

As the parent of 2 children, bike lanes are essential to safe travel. We bike to soccer and baseball practices, to the hardware store, to get art supplies or to visit friends. As a one-car household this is often the only way we can get around when we have things to do.

The proposal to remove bike lanes and for all new ones to be approved by the Ford government is completely out of touch. I am angry and disappointed. We need a range of transportation options for ALL users , not just drivers. Toronto will not lower car congestion by doing this.

I’m writing to you because I strongly oppose the proposal for Bill 212 (ERO number 019-9266).
If the bike lanes on Bloor Street did not exist, I would have been killed in June, simply on my way to work.
