If bike lanes are removed does this mean cars will have to share the same lane with bikes? If so this could cause more congestion, or is the plan to ban bikes from certain streets. I can see cyclist choosing to ride in the same lane as cars.

This bill will greatly affect my options for mobility, as my disabilities prevent me from driving, requiring me to use alternative transit methods, such as biking. Read more

I listened to Mr Ford's speech at the Empire Club where he proudly stated his government makes decisions based on data, not opinions or gut feelings or whatever way the political winds are blowing. So where is the data on bike lanes and congestion. Read more

Happy to hear it. I don't doubt that safety need to be improved for cyclists, but bike lanes just seem to breed a mentality that rules no longer apply to bikes. Rules must be clearly established for both vehicles and cyclists to make driving safer for everyone. Read more

Hey there, Bike lines are greatly beneficial to travelling in downtown and removal would primarily benefit many residents that do not live in downtown while those that do and rely on bikes for transit would be forced to use the sidewalk which could potentially endanger pedestrians. Read more

I do not believe eliminating bike lanes will improve traffic times. If biking is no longer a safe option, then those people may resort to driving or taxi/uber. Increasing road congestion another way, rather than their perceived congestion occupying the bike lanes. Read more

The Government of Ontario should stop concerning itself with how municipalities across this province run and allow the municipalities to decide what best meets the needs of their communities such as implementing bike lanes. Read more

I am one of the lucky few in Mississauga who uses bike lanes on 80% of my 8km commute. Luckier still I have access to an electric bike. A 15 minutes driving commute turns into an 18minute cycling commute. It is so much more relaxing than driving, and helps me curb my C02 emissions. Read more

Bike lanes make our communities safer, healthier, and greener. They reduce traffic, cut pollution, and help people stay active. Bike lanes are safe and affordable for everyone, giving people more ways to get around. As our cities grow, more people want better, safer options for biking. Read more

As a mother whose son bikes to work at his job in health care in the city of Windsor, I do not support Bill 212. It is short sighted and ignorantly dismissive of the environmental and traffic flow benefits to bike friendly cities. Read more

This proposal is a shortsighted and misguided approach that dismisses the value of bike lanes and undermines Toronto’s efforts toward building a healthier, more efficient, and more environmentally sustainable city. Read more

As someone who cannot drive, I rely on bike lanes to reduce traffic so that my bus arrives on time. A well connected bike lane system needs to come before people begin to cycle! People will not cycle dangerously unless extreme pressure is placed on them. This is why I do not cycle! Read more

As a 29 year old resident of Ontario, I'd like to comment that having bike lanes in my city (Toronto) is essential for me and others to get around the city for access to groceries, libraries, parks etc. Read more

I do not support the removal of bike lanes. It is an egregious overstep of the province on local city planning. I bike to work, I bike to doctors appointments, I bike to meet with friends and I bike home. Read more
