I disagree with this legislation. Biking should be encouraged for many reasons, including better health. An important consideration when our health care system is struggling and too many people suffer from preventable diseases like diabetes- preventable by regular exercise.

I am extremely opposed to this change as a resident of Toronto. Removing bike lanes is destroying infrastructure that is extremely important to a city of Toronto's size.

The throughput of a bike lane far exceeds a car lane and requires far less space. Removing bike lanes will only increase traffic and waste everyone's time as the people that choose to drive instead of bike take up far more space on the road than the bike lane did.

As a resident of York reigon who cannot drive for medical reasons and is especially prone to potential injury in case of an accident for those same reasons, this bill represents a direct threat to my well-being.

This bill is backwards thinking being proposed by people who have clearly ignored the current data on how urban traffic congestion is reduced. Cyclists have a right to safe travel. Their tax dollars pay for infrastructure too, and that includes bike lanes.

I live on the affected route. I have first hand experience of how effective the Bloor bike lanes are for me and my neighbors. This is an undemocratic removal of critical infrastructure.
I am resident of Ottawa who cycles to work every day. This act would have a negative impact on my daily commute as it would prevent the city from implementing parts of the transportation master plan, which includes necessary improvements to the inadequate bike infrastructure to the routes I use.

Stop removing bike lanes it makes no sense to be removing bike lanes on Bloor St when the number of people cycling and utilizing the route is growing faster than ever.

I do not support limiting city powers. It’s always better when we work together to get things right. To tackle congestion and keep people safe on city roads we need all types of transportation including bike lanes.

I get that municipalities are creatures of the province but this is a step too far and clear overreaching by the province into removing cycling infrastructure from a local municipality such as the City of Toronto.

Bill 212 will negatively affect me and my community, and should be abandoned. I am a regular user of the Yonge Street bike lanes, using them several times a week to travel from my home near Yonge & St. Clair to work in downtown Toronto.

I wholeheartedly support this new legislation. The bike lanes that have been placed in Bloor West have created complete gridlock. There was no research done to assess the impact they would have when they went in and there is no follow up on how things are going. Bike lanes have a place.

I am 31 years old living in Hamilton, having moved from Toronto in the last 2 years. I received my G1 a few months back. Getting my G1 was prompted by my anticipation of starting a family soon.

This proposal by the Ford administration is a massive overreach of his *provincial* government, that is designed to add unnecessary red tape to ordinary *municipal* affairs.

This is a shame! Fix healthcare instead of this. Let the bike lanes where they are and let the mayor deal with this. You can more urgent things to do at the provincial level.
Please don't, cycling Indra's is important and is able to reduce traffic, improve health and give younger people a safe option to get around better. Also, the cities should be able to decide for themselves whether to build a bike lane, as they are the ones getting impacted and also knowing why.
