I am against this proposal. I regularly use bike lanes in Toronto and consider them essential transportation infrastructure. I feel that reducing bike infrastructure will make transportation more dangerous for many people.

Prioritizing drivers at the expense of non-drivers undermines the needs of pedestrians and cyclists who also contribute to our economy and society.

I do not support Bill 212, including expediting Highway 413 and its exemption from the environmental assessment. There should be full and frank discussion of the entirety of this act and its implications.

I do not support this legislation. Municipalities are to control their own spaces and roads. This is most definitely an overreach and a foolish decision for the Provincial Government to take.
As a physician, commuter, cyclist, and driver, I strongly oppose the removal of the bike lanes on Bloor, University, and Yonge. I use the bike lane on Bloor and University every single day to commute to and from work.

I am against Bill 212, as it takes a short-sighted approach to transportation by prioritizing cars at the expense of sustainable, active transportation options like bike lanes.

As a Canadian citizen and permanent resident of Ontario, proper bike infrastructure is absolutely essential to my and many others in my community. Bikes are used by many as a main method of transportation as they are affordable, fast, good for health, and safe.

This bill is profoundly short-sighted and counterproductive.
There is no solution to traffic congestion except providing viable alternatives to driving. You are going to do the exact opposite; taking away alternatives, and pretend that this will help matters.

Hello all...historically I had driven downtown most of my career...and have consulted on or for Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto /City of Toronto/Metro Toronto Police/Fire/Ambulance/Provincal/Federal projects...

Most car trips are under 2 km. When safe bike lanes are available, people will bike those short distances, removing up to 20% of cars from roads - reducing congestion - especially in downtown areas.

This is the most ass backwards thing this country can do. Children rarely get a vote but I figure adults want them to do better, why are we going to make them less able to get around safely.

Removing bike lanes will just put cyclists back onto the main traffic lane. Some of those cyclists may go back to driving, and adding more cars on the road. Driving in urban area is already distracting enough and drivers do not need additional worries that cyclist are on their lanes.

Thank you for finally listening to Torontonians' frustration with the congestion caused by the removal of traffic lanes and for introducing Bill-212. I think that bike lanes are a wonderful idea and but they should not be given priority over the majority of the population that drive a car.

This legislation adds unnecessary red tape on a growing form of transportation and will negatively affect the people of Ontario. When I drive I would always prefer cyclists being out of the lane in their own dedicated area. Cyclists riding on the sidewalk is dangerous for pedestrians.

This is a terrible thing for future growth in Ontario. The only resolution to solve car traffic is to create viable alternatives to driving. Our cities are growing constantly and you are expecting all these new residents to drive? This will create... guess what? More traffic.

I do not agree with this proposal. Why add bureaucratic steps to slow down local governments trying to widen the range of transportation options available to all? Is this really the best use of our tax dollars?

I use bloor bike like everyday to commute to work. It allows me to get there safe and in an economic and joyful way. I’ve been living in the city for 4 years and I have seen how cycling it’s a great mobility alternative, specially for people in downtown.

I already submitted a comment but I forgot to add that I would like to ask Premier Ford to ensure that Mississauga be included in this new legislation.

It’s an embarrassing piece of proposed legislation that makes us the laughingstock of modern society. Where communities are putting in bike lanes everywhere in the modern Western World including in the US, backwards Ontario chooses to rip them up.
