This legislation has multiple problems:
1) Bike lanes are municipal jurisdiction. They impact people locally, not on a provincial level, and there placement and implementation should be kept at the local level.

No, I do not think that we should be removing bike lanes in the city. If anything we should be encouraging more bike lanes and less vehicular traffic downtown.
We need to prioritize transit, pedestrian and bicycle traffic over vehicles.
I do NOT support the removal of bike lanes in Toronto. My husband bikes to work to cut down on our cost of fueling our car and he doesn't feel safe using public transport since COVID.

This is insane! the bike lanes in the metropolitan areas are easily some of the most accesible ways to get around the city! closing the bike lanes wont reduce the amount of riders but only the amount of accidents.

I currently live on Ottawa, Ontario and cycle to work almost daily. Cycling allows me to get some exercise and get to work much more quickly. It also helps me reduce expenses I would pay such as parking and gas. For the community, it reduces congestion on the roads.

I think that taking out bike lanes that are used by many cyclists will have detrimental effects on traffic, business, and road safety. I do not think that removing bike lanes or returning them to traffic or parking will have as big an effect on gridlock as you hope.

This proposal doesn't make any sense at all. Ripping out bike lanes that were just built doesn't make financial sense and it won't help reduce traffic congestion. Toronto needs to have safe bike lanes - for the safety of everyone. Please don't do this, let's not go backwards.

This bill is not only a gross overreach of the Province's power and an entirely regressive bill, given the need to reduce emissions but also serves to accomplish little.

I am very much against this proposed legislation regarding provincial approval for bike lanes. Bike lanes and municipal roads are clearly responsibilities of local municipalities, who are best placed to respond to needs of residents in the area.

Addressing Ontario’s government on Bill 212, which proposes the removal of bike lanes to prioritize car traffic, several key arguments demonstrate why this move is counterproductive for mobility and regional development:

Removing alternatives to driving does not reduce gridlock. As a tradesperson who travels in a truck full of equipment, I would much prefer commuters do not take up parking space or drive themselves around.

This passing of this bill would be a huge step backwards for Toronto society, and would negatively implicate every single involved party. Does the Premier think that removing bike lanes, forcing people who bike to commute by car, will decrease congestion?

Please DO NOT interfere with the City of Toronto’s biking infrastructures.
With the amount of cyclists injuries and deaths, the last thing the city needs is LESS bike lanes.

Surely there are better ways to spend this money. You don't think the ppl that ride bikes aren't going to have to drive? THAT will cause more gridlock....can't you ever leave well enough alone?
Work on Food Banks and homelessness!!!
Help find the missing Indigenous children!!!
This is a waste of public funds. Put this money to better use by promoting and building new public transit and improving the current public transit infrastructure. The government should be prioritizing public transit to solve the traffic issue not spending money on cars.

The City of Toronto has caused a seriously dangerous traffic situation by removing automobile traffic lanes on Eglinton Avenue West between Avenue Road and Chaplin Crescent.
