Completely backwards legislation that will slow down everyone's commute -- cars, bikes, buses, streetcars alike, while greatly increasing danger for cyclists.

This bill is absurd -- favouring wasteful methods of transport instead of public transit, or in this case, bicycles.
Building more lanes for cars/trucks solves nothing and will compound issues for future generations.
I believe this is a super shortsighted bill that will cost all taxpayers a lot of money to make the situation worse. As a renter close to Bloor street I rejoiced when the bike lanes were installed as I finally had another option to commute and get around the city in a more pleasant way.

My family primarily uses bicycles to get around the city. We also own a car but prefer not to add to traffic congestion when we don’t need to.

Bike lanes are essential to our city's infrastructure, and I highly recommend that they be maintained and expanded. The idea that bike lanes cause traffic congestion is not evidence-based. Instead, I believe it's important for environmental and community reasons.

This legislation does little to help the sustainable, environmentally sound development of urban communities because it emphasizes only one mode of transit in urban areas, the private vehicle.

I 100% support this bill. The concept of active transport in a country that snows almost half the year isn't logical. It's also not very inclusive to have entire lanes dedicated to such a small and privileged part of society.

This is a severe over-reach of provincial authority on a issue that is unique to each municipality. We elect local officials to make local decisions in accordance with local needs, and it is inappropriate for the province to enforce partisan beliefs from one area onto another.

I strongly oppose this policy. This policy will have the exact opposite of its stated purpose - it will increase traffic congestion by removing options for commuters in the city, while also increasing the number of injuries and deaths by making the streets less safe.

As a resident of Toronto who commutes in and out of the city by car, I strongly believe in keeping bike lanes open and accessible. Not only do bike lanes make our city safer for cyclists, but they also contribute to a more sustainable and efficient transportation system.

This legislation is a joke, stop meddling in municipal affairs, you are not the mayor of Toronto. If you want to fix traffic, you should start at the provincial level: update the licensing process to not be a revolving door.

Bike lanes are an essential part of solving the problem of congestion in any growing city. Many people, including young people like myself, rely on cycling, walking, and transit to get around the city safely.

As a professional planner in the province of Ontario, it is my professional opinion that Bill 212 and the subsequent effects are poor planning, are the exact opposite of what study after study finds are effective, efficient, and sustainable transportation policies, and will negatively impact the abi

I think this is a ridiculous proposal. First of all, it’s up to the city of Toronto itself to govern its own traffic. This is a MAJOR overstep by Premier Ford. Second of all, there is absolutely no proof that removing these bike lanes will move any more people any faster.

This proposal is taking our province (and specifically the city of Toronto) in the complete wrong direction. I use the Bloor/Danforth bike lane daily with my kids in a trailer.

I’m strongly opposed to this legislation.
I’m tired of cyclists being used as scapegoats for gridlock. Our government should not be legislating based on false premises.

What an absolutely ridiculous proposed bill. I hope the authors are embarrassed. Any bill with the intention of reducing congestion that doesn’t even mention public transit is just laughable.

I am writing this comment to urge the Ontario government NOT to pass Bill 212, particularly the parts regarding bicycle lanes. If passed as is, Bill 212 will kill and maim cyclists and other vulnerable road users.

I am writing to express my strong opposition to the proposed legislation that would prevent cities from installing bike lanes if it means losing a car lane in the process.

I'm a driver and I like driving on roads with bike lanes. Keeps bikes out of my way. Car traffic is also much calmer and safer with reduced lanes.
I don't think the provincial government should be involved in decisions around municipal streets.
