As a lifelong cyclist, I urge the Government of Ontario to refrain from limiting municipalities’ power to install safe cycling infrastructure. Instead, the province should work with municipalities to expand safe infrastructure for cyclists, pedestrians, and drivers.

I strongly oppose Bill 212
Bike lanes are safer for drivers and bicyclists. Bike lanes promote sustainable, healthy transit. They offer an economically viable and beneficial method of transit. On Bloor Street, the Annex BIA supports bike lanes.

I live in Etobicoke (own a house) and commute to downtown Toronto daily by bike (and have for the last 18 years). The addition of bike lanes has dramatically increased the number of cyclists in the last 5 years, demonstrating that they work.

No no no. Bill 212 is stupid. I hate this. I am a driver and love having bikes in safe lanes. It makes it easier for me to drive. I live in Bloor West Village. I know drivers and bicyclists. They're the same people!

I absolutely do NOT support this proposal. This change will discourage citizens from making eco friendly choices in the face of a current and worsening climate crisis seen both globally and to a lesser extent in Toronto, with the impacts of recent flooding and air pollution.

I strongly oppose provincial control over municipal bike lanes. Protected bike lanes have proven to significantly improve public safety, reducing injury crashes by up to 40% for all road users, including drivers and pedestrians.
Cities that implement bike lanes experience multiple benefits:

In 21st century, with all the accumulated knowledge about urban planning and human behaviors, we should be introducing laws based on exact science and confirmed reports, not by sole prejudice and entitlement protection.

I am very angry that I even have to waste my time doing this. I use bike lanes every single day to.commute to work. They make my commute safer, faster and more sustainable. They also make everyone else's commute easier too.

I disagree with the purpose of this law for several reasons:
- Protected bike lanes encourage more people to choose cycling, which reduces car traffic over time and creates safer roads for everyone.

I teach grade 4/5.and my students described Bill 212 as "insane".
I have to agree with them. Bill 212 is an ill conceived, short sighted and unnecessary idea. Bike lanes are vital to the future of all cities, Toronto etc included.
I emphatically DO NOT SUPPORT BILL 212

Stop Bill 212.
Stop wasting our time, energy and attention on this unnecessary plan.
Bike lanes contribute to cities in so many ways. They keep bikers and drivers safe.

The growing network of bike lanes has allowed me to commute without need of a car in a safer manner. These bike lanes are critical to Vision Zero and to reducing the volume of motor vehicles on our streets.

This is an archaic idea that will only lead to more congestion on city streets as well as make it more dangerous for cyclists. The province should instead spend money on improving public transportation that would remove more cars from city streets
The bike lanes on Bloor street were ill conceived and have created major congestion on an important Toronto road. We sit idling in traffic while the bike lanes go unused in Etobicoke. We voiced many concerns before they went in with no response from our city councillor. I 100% support this bill.
Bill 212 is a deeply concerning proposal that threatens to undermine the progress Ontario has made in fostering safer, more sustainable, and fiscally responsible communities. As a concerned citizen, taxpayer, and driver, I feel compelled to express my strong opposition to this bill.
