I'm not a cyclist.
This bill is completely counterproductive for downtown areas. Bike lanes improve traffic for motorists by keeping cyclists away from cars.

As a constituent who lives on Bloor st W. I am firmly against the removal of our bike lanes. This plan has not been considered properly and I greatly urge those with the power to do so to protect the existence of our bike lanes.
I do not agree with this bill to remove the bike lanes on Bloor, Yonge, and University. The provincial government shouldn't be adding red tape and bureaucracy to slow down local governments trying to add transportation options.

As a driver, just as I want pedestrians to stay on the sidewalks, rather than be in the road, I want cyclists to be in the bike paths/lanes, rather than mixing with the rest of the cars. Having good bike infrastructure speeds up traffic for both cyclists and cars.

I strongly oppose this bill. Cities must be allowed to make cycling infrastructure a priority. Cycling must be a viable choice of transportation for the public, and without proper infrastructure, cycling can be extremely dangerous.

Why is the provincial government proposing added red tape against municipalities developing their infrastructure in whatever way best fits their community? This concerns me, especially considering the already excessive bureaucratic cost and complexity regarding municipal infrastructure projects.
Removing bike lanes, or not allowing them to be build in the first place harms everyone. When there is more space for more cars on the road, more people will drive and within a short amount of time, it will be just as congested as previously.

Removing bike lanes will lead to more fatalities and increased traffic.
Toronto needs more bike lanes, not less, if it ever wants to stand as a real world-class city.
This does not make sense.
To create bike paths encouraging cyclists to use less motor vehicles then take it away from them is ludicrous.
Our cyclists need to be protected.
This is a brutally short-sighted and regressive move that ignorantly prioritizes outdated modes of transportation over sustainable, efficient, and healthy alternatives.

I vehemently oppose this proposal. Cycling infrastructure, even if it removes a lane of traffic or some parking, enhances vehicle flow by reducing the risk of collision or forcing mixed use of a lane.

This bill will not fulfill its objectives and reduce gridlock or save me any time. The 413 Highway is not a good investment and Doug Ford's approach to pushing this through without appropriate assessments or justification is bad for Ontario.

I would like to know why the premier considers my safety, and the safety of other cyclists, to be unimportant. Does the health and safety of Ontarians only count if they live in swing ridings?

To meet the varied needs and priorities of all residents of the GTA we need more bike lanes rather than fewer. Ripping out existing bike lanes would be short-sighted, counterproductive, and discriminatory.
This is a municipal issue and the provincial government should not be involved. These lanes save lives, improve traffic flow and create a better streetscape and a more vibrant community.

Everything about this act is terrible, from the proposal to eliminate badly-needed bike lanes on major streets right down to the frankly condescending title of the thing
Ford needs to be removed from office. He is removing the very essense and fabric from our province. I say no to Bill 212, the highway and the removal of bike lanes. No to the privatization of Ontario place and no to the moving of the Science Centre.
