Although I don't favour any part of the bill, the portion of the bill allowing the Province to review future installations is at least palatable - but only if the review process is truly a review.

LEAVE THE BIKE LANES ALONE
if doug wants to get to work faster there is a literally a subway under these roads.
focus on provincial issues
this is a ridiculous waste of time, money, and complete disregard for people's safety.
The Ontario Society of Professional Engineers (OSPE) plays a vital role as the advocacy body and voice of the engineering profession in Ontario.

Shame on you for wanting to rip out the bike lanes! You need to add more bike lanes to increase the quality of life and on-foot traffic. Increase our bike lanes and reduce car traffic!
Bike lane is one of the best things happened in Toronto. It provides a quick and easy method for people to get around in the city SAFELY. Having them bike lanes put Toronto up on par with some other best cities in the world such as Paris, Amsterdam and the list goes on.

The non-sensicle focus on car first infrastructure. Cars aren't stuck in gridlock, they are the gridlock. That means to combat gridlock you need to provide options other than cars. Bikes are part of that.

Adding more car lanes increases traffic. This is a phenomenon well understood by city planners. The more car infrastructure you build, the more inclined people will be to drive. The more people drive, the more traffic there is.

Bike lanes encourage people to ride instead of driving, helping reduce traffic. Governments need to do everything possible to reduce pollution. Sadly the Government of Ontario has taken and continues to take many regressive steps that contribute to the deterioration of our climate.
I don’t own a bike, and personally, I don’t feel safe biking on Toronto’s streets. However, I do drive in downtown Toronto, and I strongly believe that this proposal to remove bike lanes is a step backward.

I use the bike lanes on Bloor every day to commute to work at Toronto Western Hospital. It is safe and gets me to work faster than if I drove my car. There are always many other bike commuters riding in the lane with me. If the lane was removed and we had to drive, it would make traffic worse.
BILL 212 WILL MOVE US BACKWARDS - WE NEED TO SUSTAINABLY MOVE FORWARD INSTEAD
The proposal of Bill 212 to remove certain bike lanes and create a more difficult process for the implementation of new ones in the name of reducing vehicle congestion is extremely concerning.

The bike lanes on university ave were designed to allow emergency vehicles to pass through if they need to by pass traffic.
If you’re all about transparency where are the quote from health officials that say the bike lanes and delaying emergency vehicles?

The proposed bill should be rejected outright as not based on a proper assessment of the evidence and the costs and benefits of bike lanes, including: their impact on congestion, on human health and safety, on air quality, on accessibility and fairness (not everyone can or wants to drive), the costs
