The city spent a lot of money and time putting in the bike lanes, to rip them up without consultation infringes on Toronto’s autonomy and is wrong. We should be encouraging alternate forms of transit and not encourage more driving and cars stuck on the road.

The Ontario government should not be seeking to add red tape and bureaucracy. Municipalities should be allowed to make decisions in the best interest of their citizens and the province should not interfere with those decisions.

As a high school student who bikes to school daily, I rely on Toronto’s bike lanes for safe and efficient travel. While some argue that bike lanes contribute to traffic congestion, I believe this is a positive trade-off if it encourages more people to choose bikes or other small vehicles over cars.

Thank you for common sense regarding the unused insane bike lanes throughout Toronto.
Removal is necessary! Toronto City Hall needs to be supervised, they just make one bad decision after another, they have no respect for taxpayers, their egos are out of control.

This is a going to cost the lives of vulnerable road users such bicyclists and pedestrians. It is absolutely short sighted and shows yo the world what a petty government we have in charge. You all should be ashamed.
I have lived in Toronto's West End for 24 years, biking the whole time. I appreciate the bike lanes so much, especially the Bloor crosstown, championed by the late Tooker Gomberg. It makes my daily commute much safer than driving with cars.

This act is actively making it more dangerous to cycle and creating more traffic on the roads. It wastes tax dollars by removing already built infrastructure. The Provincial government has no business deciding what can and cant be built at the local level.
Hello,
Thank you for allowing comments on this important bill.
This proposition disappoints me greatly. While I myself commute to work through automobile, and rarely cycle for recreation, I can see how this bill does nothing to alleviate the issues it purports to solve.

What a horrible proposal by the Ministry of Automobiles. This is having the province meddle in city planning, adding more red tape, and promising to override what the elected officials of the city are putting in place for their residents.
I am writing as a concerned citizen of Burlington, and High School Student, regarding the recently proposed Bill 212. This bill, which mandates provincial approval for bike lanes directly impacts those of us who rely on safe, dedicated cycling routes for essential transportation.

I’m a resident of Toronto and I do not support the removal of the Yonge, Bloor or University bike lanes. The rationale for removing them is not well thought out.

I strongly believe that the province should neither remove existing bike infrastructure nor require provincial approval for new bike lanes, for several reasons:

This has to be one of the dumbest proposals this government has ever created. It's incredibly illogical and shows no evidence in it's proposal. Of course forcing people to use cars will only create more traffic. Idiocy.

I've been a driver and a cyclist for years. We need more bike lanes. Period. Better infrastructure benefits everyone. 99.999% of cyclists don't want to inconvenience drivers anymore than drivers want to be inconvenienced by cyclists.
