Has the provincial government looked at other areas that impact traffic flow - specifically ride share operators, food delivery services, poorly funded public transit, chronically delayed Eglinton Crosstown and scofflaw drivers?

This is the worst car-brain backward legislation in the world. Cyclists should have as much say in the road network as drivers; developing different modes of transportation is the only way to alleviate traffic.

Using taxpayer's money to remove bicycle lanes is backward thinking! No expert, scientific study anywhere supports this ludicrous piece of legislation.

I am 76 years old and ride my bike every day of the year for shopping, errands, visiting my grand-daughters and friends, choir practice, etc. We need protected bike lanes on the major routes I cycle which are the same routes I occasioanlly drive.

This is not a conservative initiative. This is unnecessary spending that reduces people's choices in transportation options, adds bureaucracy and red tape, and keeps kids inside by not providing them with safe infrastructure to get to school via bike.

Please please do not remove the bike lanes!!! The future of Toronto is not more cars. This should be obvious to everyone. Improve public transit if you want to reduce traffic.
I think it is quite a misguided line of thought to assume that the majority of the congestion happening in the city is due to bike lanes. Much of the traffic we see in Toronto are mostly on streets that DO NOT have cycling infrastructure. Like the lake shore, DVP and the 401.

As a young person living in Toronto, it is disheartening to see regressive legislature even being talked about. I want to live in a city where we have the choice to use what mode of transport to use, and not to be forced to drive.

i do not support this legislation. bike lanes help reduce car congestion by reducing the number of cars.

We need the bike lanes to reduce the traffic. Me and others need to bike for commuting and will be forced to bike on the road without the lanes. this will be unsafe and worse for traffic. It is a stupid idea.
I am in strong opposition to the province removing Toronto City bike lanes. As a taxpayer, and resident of Etobicoke, I cycle frequently and have been hit by parked car doors, and have had hot coffee almost poured on me out of the window of a parked car.

Reasons not to remove bike lanes;
1. Eliminating bike lanes won't eliminate bikes. Forcing cyclists into the car traffic is not only significantly more dangerous for the riders but also slows down cars even further when they pass the bike.

This is childish and a waste of money. Let cities decide what makes sense for transportation within their boundaries and keep the province out of it. Please withdraw this bill.
Removing bike lanes is very expensive, it doesn’t make any sense. The provincial government could use some of that (tax payer) money from the transportation budget to do some infrastructure maintenance instead of spending it on a whim.

This proposal goes against extensive research proving that bike lanes have no negative impact on traffic congestion and in fact encourage higher adoption of biking as a method of transit.

As a fellow cyclist, vehicle owner and pedestrian of Toronto, I strongly disagree to the proposal of removing bike lanes pertaining to Bill 212.

I cannot support a government that introduces bills like this. This bill will make transportation worse for everyone, and contribute to increased traffic congestion on roads. We need more transportation options, not less.

Bike infrastructure is essential transportation for myself and many others. Adding red tape to the process of installing new infrastructure, and removing existing infrastructure will force me to go back to driving to work.

I strongly oppose this legislation. Ontario needs more bike lanes, not fewer. Bike lanes allow for active transport, makes streets safer for those who don't drive, and raise property values by making neighbourhoods safer and more liveable.
