The addition of the bike lanes targeted by this legislation enabled me to increase significantly the amount of exercise I get in a week. I also believe that our kids should be able to get around town safely. It is irresponsible to prioritise traffic flow over safety.

City congestion has yet to ever be addressed by adding more motor vehicle infrastructure to a city. This bill would, without a doubt, cause increased congestion as alternative means of commuting (i.e. cycling lanes) would be reduced leading to more vehicular traffic. Read more

This proposal is a terrible idea, I have lived in Toronto for more than 10 years and bike infrastructure is the best solution to traffic congestion in downtown. Read more

This is gross overreach by the province. It also ignores all current research on efficient urban planning. A robust city infrastructure offers options for safe travel that include walking, cycling, public transit and driving. Read more

This is a disappointing bill. I’m commenting specifically on the parts of the bill relating to bicycle lanes including the removal of some Toronto bike lanes. Read more

The bike lanes are fine! I dont even ride a bike! I drive everyday because i work different locations everyday and bring tools with me. The only trouble the bike lanes were was when they were building them! I live at Bloor and Ossington and like the bike lanes. Read more

The governance of Toronto should rest primarily with the city's mayor, allowing for autonomous decision-making free from provincial interference, particularly regarding the management of public roads. As Toronto continues to increase in density, it is imperative to expand our biking infrastructure. Read more

Hi...to who ever is going to read this. I oppose the decision of the current Ontario government to put forward legislation to undo years of meticulous research, planning and consultations to just remove bike lanes "because they want to". Read more

I for one am not in support of the proposals outlined within this bill; especially the proposals focused on reducing or removing bike lanes in the City of Toronto. Read more

I am against Bill 212 and I want to go over why. I am a resident of Toronto and regular cyclist, using the bike lane infrastructure for work, picking up packages, visiting friends, and for exercise. I think the parts of Bill 212 that aims to remove bike lanes is bad for Toronto. Read more

I use bike lanes regularly commuting to work and just getting around the city. It is very important to have safe and effective bike lanes. I am against the removal of any bike lanes without a plan to promptly replace them with comparable or better bike infrastructure in the same geographic area.

Bike lanes ensures more people have safe and convenient alternatives to driving, reducing the number of cars on the road. Removing bike lanes would force cyclists onto car lanes or back into cars, which would worsen gridlock and create even longer commute times. Read more

The bike lanes in Ontario need to stay for the safety of everyone and the further development of better transportation that REDUCES traffic when promoted and implemented fully.

Protected bike lanes are essential infrastructure. I ride the bike lanes every day, removing them will make it less safe for me to ride. The only way to reduce congestion is to provide viable alternatives to driving.

Garbage legislation. Lost two historically PC voters in our house overnight. Stop wasting money on this bull and fund actual things that need it like healthcare. It’s fiscally conservative to spend money ripping up things that were already built? Read more
