I am writing my comments to express my concern and disappointment with multiple parts of bill 212. For the safety of children, the economic impact of households, and the cost to the government of Ontario / the Ontario tax payers, I feel like this bill adds multiple negatives to many communities.

This is an impressively ignorant approach to reduce traffic. Have you considered spending money to actually maintain the bike lanes so people can use them year round. I have a friend in Edmonton who bikes to work year round because they actually maintain their infrastructure. Read more

This proposed piece of legislation is not only an overreach in what should be decided by local communities and their municipalities, but counterproductive to its stated goals. Read more

Conservatives have made false claims about bicycle lanes: They state that the installation of bicycle lanes used data collected during COVID-19. The lanes were installed during and after the shutdowns, but the data to justify them was collected from the years before. Read more

Thank you Doug Ford. Toronto city counsel have been making half cocked, un researched planning decisions for year adding to our commute times. Thank you for stepping in and saving us from our own local govt.

Please don't remove the bike lanes, this is a regress. Living in North York, unfortunately I cannot ride a bike in my neighborhood as there is no infrastructure and I don't feel safe riding a bike here. Read more

If there is no bike lane, I would be forced to switch to using a car in the interest of my personal safety. If this is the case, then that will increase the traffic on that street. Read more

Poor traffic in Toronto is a giant problem. A significant problem are bad drivers who block the intersection. When the lights turn red, their cars obstruct the flow of traffic in the other direction and endanger pedestrians. Read more

This policy is dumb. Biking is an important part of life for many Ontario residents. By removing and making bike infrastructure more difficult to build you are effectively leaving us in a dark age of unfriendly urban design. As a teenager, this affects me even more. Read more

As both a driver and a cyclist, this is a complete overstep of the province's jurisdiction. It is up to the city to make decisions about its bike lanes – not the premiere because he's been frustrated by his morning commute. Cyclists are taxpayers too and deserve safety in their commute. Read more

Cyclists are extremely vulnerable road users. They have the right to get around the city safely. There is an excessive amount of unnecessary cars on the road - often one driver per large vehicle, wasting space and causing pollution. Read more

As primarily a driver, I oppose the Ford government's plan to remove bike lanes and require consultation for all municipalities. I prefer to have bikes separated safely from motor vehicles. Read more

This is huge leap behind. We need safe streets for everyone, it is not okay when people are being killed for the sake of car drivers convenience. Removing bike lanes will never solve the issue of gridlock, as was proven by experience many times. Read more

Biking to work is saving me time. I can get to work in 12 minutes on the bloor and Shaw bike lanes. In the car (if I had money for one) it would take me 35-40 minutes depending on the time of day. Read more
