This proposal is shocking for a number of reasons, including (i) it increases “red tape” around constructing bike lanes, which is something this government claimed to be trying to reduce (ii) it takes away the ability for municipalities to plan their own transportation infrastructure, which is illog Read more

As an Ontario resident, I am writing to voice my absoulte opposition to this bill for the following reasons: -While not a bike user myself, bike lanes have been shown over and ovwr again to actually reduce traffic instead of increasing it. Read more

I am writing to express my strong opposition to the Ontario government's proposed legislation, which includes the removal of critical bike lanes in Toronto and the approval process for new bike lanes across the province. Read more

Removing bike lanes removes our freedom to travel safely in the method of our choosing. Biking is lower individual cost, better for our health(lowering healthcare costs provincially), requires less space per person(lower infrastructure cost to build and even lower to maintain). Read more

Strongly opposed to Bill 212. I will be discussing this with my friends, family and coworkers and we will all be voting against anyone who supports this nonsense. I am disgusted that during a health care and housing crisis the province is wasting time on these regressive policies. Read more

First of all, I am a driver in an urban area. The key to reduction in traffic is to allow people choices in how to travel and commute. Every person who chooses to bike, walk, or take transit, is one fewer car on the road. Read more

I am hoping that the Premier and members of the provincial parliament will reconsider removing bike lanes that save lives and help give people a healthy way to get around Toronto. I drive and don’t like congestion or traffic either. Read more

This will do nothing but harm to this city and is completely out of step with reality. We need viable and safe alternatives to the car. Doug Ford will have blood on his hands as more cyclists and pedestrians die at the bumpers of drivers.

This bill is a blatant hallmark of provincial interference and an increase in red tape and bureaucracy by so-called elites who "know better" than their constituents. Bike lanes are essential transportation infrastructure for the elderly and children. Read more

There are so many things wrong with this bill that it's hard to know where to start: it's ridiculous overreach of the province into municipal affairs, it's based on zero data or evidence that this will actually help congestion, and it goes against the wishes of local business associations who have b Read more

I live in North York, I drive to work every day. I am dependent on car infrastructure for my everyday life. The section of Yonge street I live on is approved to have 1 lane of traffic in each direction removed to be replaced with bike lanes some time in 2029. Read more

The proposed legislation is dangerous and reckless for all road users. It is also not an effective long term plan to deal with growing population and density, and car traffic. (Listen to the traffic reports - the slowdowns are usually not in areas with bike lanes!) Read more
