Stop it with this garbage bill. We have come a great distance in raising the next generation with the confidence to take up biking as a primaryode of intracity transportation. Ford should have no right to interfere with bloor univ yonge bike lane legislation in Toronto.
Bike lanes allow for the orderly movement of people in a reliable manner in higher density environments.
Children can get to school safely under their own power without contending with the same space as trucks.

Doug Ford seems determined to ruin all the good Toronto has; now it's bike lanes with which I am only 50% in agreement, but I would rather keep them than add more car lanes. Add lanes = more and more cars; there will never be enough room to move!

I commute by bike every day on bloor street, and these proposed changes would put my and every other cyclists life in danger, for the marginal benefit of a few drivers.
Absolutely agree that bike lanes need to be removed on the major arteries in Toronto as proposed.
University Avenue has been destroyed by the new set up. South of College it is a hospital zone where

Bill 212 will add to the problem of traffic congestion not alleviate it. Removing or preventing the addition of bike lanes will only reduce choice and result in more travellers choosing to use a motor vehicle which these days are rather large due to motor vehicle manufacturer marketing.

This is great , I hope you go back 10 years and reverse all the lanes that have been reduced
We need a new policy forward maybe where bikes and people can share bigger sidewalks ( new construction)
My biggest problem with the current bike lanes is very little use

We need to invest in diversified transportation modes in order to maintain the growth of our cities. Each municipality is responsible in planning and implementing transportation plans that will work for the people who live and work in those cities.

Dear Ford Government,
If you really want to “reduce gridlock” and “save” Ontarians time, ripping up bike lanes and creating more red tape for municipalities is not the way to go.
Let’s look at this from a pragmatic standpoint:
-bikes produce fewer emissions

As a Toronto resident I am deeply disappointed with this new proposal. I commute in Toronto every day using transit and every day I see roads clogged with cars no mater where I go. Removing bike lanes will only add more cars to roads in the long term.

As much as I love the bike lanes as a cyclist, I love them more as a driver. Before they were built, the right lane had to serve three separate functions — parking, driving, cycling — and as a result did none of them well.

I live in a rural community, and even I can see that removing bike lanes is a bad idea. We should be encouraging people to commute and travel by methods other than driving.

Hi there. I’m a university student in Ontario who currently rides her bike to and from school as I can’t afford a car at the moment. Although I can use the bus, my bike is often more convenient.

I'm against the plan to eliminate bike lanes because I live in Scarborough and my dream is for me, my children and then my grandchildren to live in a healthy city where we can safely ride our bikes all the way downtown. This bill is dangerous because:
