As I’m sure I don’t have to tell you, this is such backwards thinking and regressive policy. There are countless examples of where bike lanes have contributed to reduced congestion, rather than the opposite.

The province needs to stay out of this. Let municipalities determine where their bike lanes should be. This is an overreach by the province. We need more bikes, not more car lanes.
I am both an owner of a car and user of the city bikes. Using city bikes makes transportation inside the city much more comfortable and viable. I would rather stay home and not spend money than having to go out with my car driving anywhere inside the city.

I bike everywhere and have almost been hit by a car multiple times. People have lost their lives due to the poor bike infrastructure in the city. We need more and better bike lanes, not less of them.

I am a resident in Toronto and this bill is ridiculous. I have never cared about politics because BIKE LANES SHOULD NOT BE POLITICIZED yet here we are. So, please keep the bike lanes and keep having more of them.

Remember in 2012 when Ford spent $300k to remove the painted bike lanes on Jarvis in order to supposedly "save 2 minutes". Driving travel time actually *increased* by 50% along that stretch, and speed went down. Combo of induced demand and street parking causing congestion.

I vigorously and adamantly disagree with this proposed legislation, and as a resident of Toronto I demand that it not be passed. I outline my reasons below.

I am very against Bill 212. Bike lanes in Toronto make travelling more eco-friendly, safe, and efficient. The LAST thing we need are more cars plugging up Bloor, Yonge, and University Street. Keep the bike lanes where they are!

This proposal is terrible. I am appalled that the Premier wants to waste my taxpayer money ripping out the expensive transportation infrastructure that was just built with my tax dollars when it will do nothing to ease traffic congestion. If anything it will make it much worse.

We do need to add red tape and bureaucracy to the addition of bike lanes. Please consider the clear evidence that bike lanes REDUCE congestion; half a bike lane network is not enough to see these benefits. Provincial governement needs to stay outside of municipal politics.
Bike lanes are great, but need their own, unique infrastructure to reduce our insane gridlock and for pedestrians’ cyclists’ and motorists’ SAFETY!

I am asking the provincial government to reconsider the bill to remove bike lanes in Toronto.
All studies I have read suggest that bike lanes have no significant negative effect on reducing traffic flow but do have a positive effect on reducing injury or death to cyclists.

1. It's incredibly wasteful of our spent tax dollars to rip up the existing bike infrastructure.
2. It's incredible dangerous for citizens of all ages including children for you to take away this infrastructure and prevent future bike network upgrades.

As a resident of Ottawa Ontario, this proposal is deeply concerning to not only the existing number of cyclists across the province, but to drivers as well.

Why are you wasting taxpayer dollars on ripping out valuable infrastructure? It's absolutely ridiculous that the province in meddling in city matters such as bike lanes.

I am deeply concerned about the consequences of this bill coming into action. As the GTA continues to grow it’s infrastructure needs to develop with a wide range of transport options.

Has your city decided to build bike lanes, for safer streets, healthier citizens, and cleaner air? Hasn't it forgotten to ask the provincial government?

Please focus on transit, healthcare, education and leave this hyper local stuff around.
you know there are subways underneath the bike lanes you want to rip up? you know it won't impact congestion, it'll just put people in danger.
