In a rapidly growing city with poor infrastructure and the cost of everything increasing, it is crucial to keep bike lanes. They encourage people to be active, get out of cars, and off public transit.

I am an Ontario resident residing in Mississauga.
I am opposed this proposed Bill 212 for the following reasons:
It suggests a gross over-reach of the provincial government into Municipal affairs;

I believe this to be very important legislation. In Hamilton where I live the move to force bike lanes wherever they seem to fit is out of control. Clearly there needs to be oversight as city councils cannot control themselves.

This legislation is ridiculous. It is blatantly targeting the city if Toronto. It gives decision making powers about municipal affairs to the province. And there is no evidence it will reduce gridlock in our city.

Removing bike lanes to reduce traffic congestion is not based in facts. Time and again if has been proven that traffic congestion is not reduced by increasing car lanes.

The province needs to stay out of municipal affairs. Municipalities know their own area and need to make their own decisions on bike lanes within their own jurisdiction. Stay in your own lane Doug Ford!
Cette proposition de réduire les voies cyclables va exactement dans la direction opposée d'où on doit aller.... l'avenir des jeunes est en jeu. Il faut réduire nos émissions de gaz à effet de serre. Réduire les voies cyclables pour encourager le transport en voiture n'est pas la voie de l'avenir.
The notion of ripping up bike lanes is frankly unbelievable. This city is still very unsafe for cyclists (being a city cyclist of over 35 years) and bike lanes are one of the few things that make it safer for cyclists.

This is an absurd proposal. These bike lanes are in constant use by cyclists and not only do they greatly increase safety for those biking, they help reduce traffic in a city that is overwhelmed with vehicles. We’ve already spent the money on these and they’re working.

As somebody who cycles for work and leisure and ALSO drives for work in both Toronto and Hamilton, I find this proposal to be very much missing the point of addressing congestion and a threat to the safety of some citizens.

I am incredibly unhappy about this plan. Our city and province should be focusing on creating bike lanes to better connect our current network, not destroy them. Yes, we need better ways to get people moving and congestion is an issue in the GTA.

This bill is disgusting and selfish on the Premiers part. Increasing car traffic by removing bike lanes directly increases accident injuries, deaths, traffic time (due to induced demand), increases emissions, and blemishes the improving lifestyle in the city.

I would like to register my objection to this proposed bill, in particular the removal of bike lanes. I live near Keele and Bloor, and I use all of the listed bike lanes many more times a month than I use those roads when travelling by car.

That is a terrible idea. Cities need to promote more bike infra instead of less. Less cars and more public transit and bikes lanes promote a more livable city
I oppose this proposal in the strongest way possible. Research has repeatedly shown that widening roads makes congestion worse, not better. We need to give people more options to get around not fewer.

This project is such a massive waste of taxpayer money! The bike lanes introduced to the city are already built and paid for and will require just as much money to remove. They make the city a safer place and help reduce pollution.

I am in strong opposition to this act. I don't feel sufficient reason has been provided on how removing bike lanes can reduce grid lock. There has been lots of research proving that additional lanes do very little to improve traffic flow when there are many drivers.
