Bike lane infrastructure supports public safety of cyclists, and it's removal or any burdensome approval processes reduces the safety of Ontario bikers - children going to school, workers going to work, or anyone just out for a ride for an errand or for recreation.

It took years of construction and congestion to create these bike lanes and now you want to take more years and cause more congestion to create more congestion? More car lanes just cause more traffic. This is the worst Bill I have ever seen.
I strongly oppose Bill 212, "Reducing Gridlock, Saving You Time Act," particularly the mandate to remove bike lanes on major Toronto streets like Bloor, Yonge, and University, as well as the overarching framework that discourages municipalities from developing bike-friendly infrastructure.

I strongly oppose Bill 212. It represents a massive overreach of the provincial government's power. The province should not be stepping in and blocking construction of or removing bike lanes in cities, as they are valuable transportation infrastructure.

This will significantly reduce mobility for most non-car commuters in the city, increasing commute times as well as danger to bikers. This is a waste of taxpayer money after having fought so hard to get them installed in the first place.

This proposal is ludacrious for multiple reasons. Firstly, these bike lanes are still new. The traffic along Bloor has finally lessened due to the newly installed bike lanes. And Bloor can finally be used again as its been under construction for the past year.

This bill is a step back on long-term infrastructure that can sustain the growing population. In addition, the removal of cycling infrastructure is against what evidence and data has proven, that cycling does help improve congestion in neighborhoods.

I live and work near Bloor Street in the Annex and use the Bloor bike lanes every day to commute to and from work in the Bloor West / Dundas area, and to attend business meetings in the downtown core every week.

I do not think it makes sense for the provincial government to be involved in making decisions for roads in the city. This will result in more political bureaucracy and delays to make any meaningful change in a reasonable time.

I believe that the removal of bike lanes in the City of Toronto is a mistake and am opposed to the use of tax payer money for this purpose. First of all, the provincial government should not be micromanaging municipal issues, such as bike lanes.

I strongly oppose Bill 212. Removing the lanes is endangering the general public as bikers are forced to share lanes with vehicles which will in turn cause slowing of traffic and/or be exposed to greater risks while riding.
I strongly oppose the provincial government's proposed Bill 212, as it undermines the ability of cities and municipalities to determine their own traffic-related infrastructure, which is crucial for effectively serving their residents.
