The affects of this bill will only be negative, as taking away biking infrastructure makes it less safe, which will in turn take away demand form bikes, and induce demand into cars.

I'm not somebody who bikes, because there is no single path from my home to my work that has a bike lane the entire way. If there was MORE not LESS bike infrastructure I would bike to work, that means one less car on the road. Less cars on the road are the answer to congestion, not less bikes.

I am writing to express my strong opposition to Bill 212. This bill is deeply misguided and will have devastating consequences for Toronto, contributing to the very problems it claims to address.

I think this is a short-sighted Bill that will result in an increase in government oversight with little to no improvement for the working class citizens of this province. Let municipalities handle how their roadways are designed.
Bikers will NOT STOP biking. All you're doing is making it less safe and will get us injured or killed. We are finally catching up with other cities around the world like the Netherlands that have proper bike infrastructure.
The deaths of bikers will be on your hands if you remove bike lanes!
The investment in bike lanes has been the most positive change in Toronto I have seen in recent years and will only set us up for a better future.
Please provide data on traffic getting worse with bike lane additions.

As a city of Toronto resident and daily commuter whose means of getting to work is via bicycle 365 days a year, I stridently oppose the government of Ontario's overstepping into municipal affairs, to dictate where bike lanes can and cannot go.

As a young professional in a world of wide ranging opportunities, one of the most attractive features of Toronto has been its non-driver friendly infrastructure. Making my home here has been significantly dependent on the TTC and bike friendly roads and paths.

This proposed bill causes me great concern:
1) The decision seems to be based on political strategizing, not real evidence or data. Prioritizing the interests of Conservative car-drivers (and having an axe to grind against progressives) is clearly more important than anything else.

Ontario should not be removing bike options to reduce gridlock. If there are fewer options for cycling, rhis will only encourgae mire cars on the road, worsening traffic.

Toronto has many problems. Too many bike lanes is certainly not one of them.
There is an abundance of data that shows that the only measures that can curb congestion in urban areas is to provide safe and efficient alternatives to car use such as public transportation or cycling.

I have lived in Toronto for the past twenty years, and I believe that the bike lane on Bloor Street is the best thing the city has done during this time.

This bill represents a major step backwards in terms of our ability to get around in the city of Toronto. This comes after some amazing progress in the development of safer bike lines in the city. What a shame and a waste of public funds it would be to undo all of this good.
