Please don't make it harder for new bike lanes to be installed or old ones to be ripped out. If the province really cared about reducing gridlock they would make it easier for pedestrians to travel in ways other than motor vehicles.
This is a terrible law and it is an illogical law when we are facing a climate crisis and need to reduce carbon emissions immediately. Encouraging cycling and discouraging individual motor vehicles makes sense rather than removing cycling lanes to make room for more cars!

Our provincial representatives have more than enough challenges to deal with at the moment. While inter-city concerns seem appropriate to manage, it’s time to step back and recognize that citizens have elected municipal leaders to manage concerns within city boundaries.

I am vehemently opposed to removing bike lanes in Toronto. While I currently drive more than cycle, I find that the bike lanes have improved my sense of safety as a driver and have had zero impact on my commute time.

I am writing to express my concerns about Ontario Bill 212. While I appreciate the bill's intentions, I fear it may lead to unintended consequences for our community, particularly regarding environmental sustainability and transportation affordability.

I think municipalities should be able to make decisions about transport infrastructure without the approval of provinces. It will slow down the ability of cities to make decisions about what is best for their residents.

People who use University, Bloor, and Yonge have already had to endure months and sometimes years of construction to have these bike lanes built. Many of these sections are less than a year old, and now the province suggests they be torn up. How is this an effective use of taxpayer money?

Please do not remove the bike lanes! As both a driver and a cyclist, I firmly believe they make the city better. It would be insane to spend taxpayer money to remove them right after they have been installed.

Bike lanes are an important way to keep pedestrians safe (therefore reducing hospital and insurance costs), reduce traffic and reduce emissions. Ripping out existing lanes is idiotic!
I do not support this proposal for many reasons. Basically, leave this decision with municipalities where it belongs and cycling is a solution to traffic congestion.
This is absolutely diabolical. It's hard to imagine stuff like that taking place here in 2024. It's such a bad decision it feels like a South Park episode. Spending money to remove bike lanes instead of building more is a horrific waste.

Hi,
I use the bike lanes daily. Prior to them, I was almost hit daily by cars pulling over unexpectedly to pickup food deliveries or Ubers doing u turns. I also saw others almost hit and then hit by cars on my way to work by bike.

This proposal should not go forward as it eliminates some of the most used bike infrastructure in the City of Toronto. The argument that the usage of bike lines across the entire system being limited justifies the removal of bike infrastructure in the most important areas is downright wrong.

Bike lanes need to expand! And be safe proper bike lanes, adding more car lanes will not benefit traffic or people whatsoever, proper protected bike lanes are extremely beneficial for all people. LEAVE TORONTO STREETS UP TO THE CITY OF TORONTO!

As someone who uses multi modal transit on a regular basis (driving a car at least once a week, a motorcycle once or twice a week, bicycle 4-5 times a week, and public transit 4-5 times a week), the idea to enforce not just the oversight, but full on removal of bike lanes, at the provincial level is

Toronto needs to build better bike infrastructure, not remove it. Biking is a green, sustainable and efficient mode of transport and the city should have the right infrastructure to support this.

Idiotic waste of money that wont solve anything.
Please stop wasting our time with this stupid culture war garbage, Doug.
Thanks,
-Toronto home owner/tax payer
I must specify that removing bike lanes and returning them to cars is the literal dumbest and most backwards thing a city can do to fix traffic, because it will NOT fix traffic.
