The provincial overreach into, not even just municipal politics, but the witch hunt the premier has on Toronto, is a complete waste of taxpayer dollars, time and past efforts.

I am completely opposed to this bill. It is an overreach of provincial authority. I believe that bike lanes, especially protected bike lanes, are critical urban infrastructure and that decision making about them should be in the hands of municipalities.

This removal of bike lanes is truly a waste of public funds and a gross over reach of provincial power into municipal matters. Ultimately it comes off as a person vendetta to get cars moving “more” in the city.

The removal of bike lanes would be a grievous error. It contributes to the perpetuation of classist practices within Canada. Individuals who cannot afford a car will not be able to navigate cities as easily and will be put at a disadvantage.

Hi there,
I would like to add my opinion that the removal of bike lanes is a detriment to the experience of locals living in the Toronto city core, and broader than that, it will improve the experience of those visiting the city as well.

Bike lanes on major streets like Bloor, Yonge Stree and most importantly University Avenue have been a huge problem for allowing speedy movement of emergency vehicles. The surveys that I have seen that say otherwise appear to be very biased and flawed with special interests behind them.

It would seem that the premier is trying to insert himself as the mayor of every municipality in Ontario, instead of governing the provincial affairs.

What a terrible overreach by the provincial government! 8.2% people in Toronto used bikes as a mode of transport. How will forcing those people to drive reduce congestion?

I live in Etobicoke and commute into the City. I like the bike lanes as they help me stay safe from hitting the cyclist. My son in law takes his kids to their school and programs on the bike lanes and makes me happy because it is safer for them.
I am deeply concerned about the proposed provincial legislation that would limit building new bike lanes and enable the removal of bike lanes on Bloor St., Yonge St., and University Ave.

This is very much a waste of taxpayer's money. To remove existing lanes is not the best scenario. Not everyone can afford a car and bikes provide an affordable alternative. Doug Ford needs to keep out of municipal business and focus on his responsibilities. He is doing a very poor job of this.
I am a Toronto resident without a car and rely on the city bike lanes for safe transportation to and from work. I understand the frustration of drivers stuck in gridlock, but removing bike lanes will not solve the congestion of the city.

I think it is quite foolish to remove these bike lanes. It feels like a big step backward. I don't think the province should be focusing on developments that get more people driving; instead, it should be focusing on developments that give people alternatives to driving.

I strongly disagree with the proposed Bill 212, specifically the sections pertaining to the removal of existing bike lanes to reinstate vehicle lanes.

I am a mother, worker, property owner, taxpayer, pedestrian, car owner, driver, transit user, cyclist and bike owner in Toronto. I live 2 minutes' walk from the East Danforth and its incredibly necessary bike lanes.
