I am writing to express my strong opposition to the proposed bill 212. I believe this legislation would have negative impacts on road safety, urban sustainability, and environmental health, and I urge you to reconsider.

Please don't waste our taxpayers money on taking out bike lanes. Our hospitals and schools are in a horrible state, please put the money where it is important.
Repeal bill 212. Free 407 stop 413. There is 17000kms of roads in Ontario. Most of them in southern Ont. Upgrades and subsidizing commercial traffic tolls on the 407. Will save billions and can be done right now. Study after study has proven when more roads are built more congestion is created.

Dear Premier Ford and the Minister of Transportation,
I am completely and fundamentally opposed to the proposed Bill 212 for the following reasons:

PLEASE PLEASE PLAESE do NOT remove any bikes lanes from Toronto or any municipality, including the bike lanes on Bloor St., Yonge St., and University Ave. in the City of Toronto.

All this would do is force cyclists onto the regular lanes, making things worse and more unsafe. We won't just disappear with the lanes you know. We have places we need to go and our mode of transport is what's affordable.

As a Waterloo resident, and student of the accredited planning program of the University of Waterloo, this bill has the potential of damaging the urban environment which I call my home.

Bike lanes require much more than paint and taking away a lane from cars.
It requires change. Removing Bike lanes reverses all the changes below.
Changes required to install bike lanes on Bloor.
Traffic Study
Construction
Signage for lane and new infrastructure.

As residents, pedestrians, drivers and cyclists of Toronto, we are writing to express our strongest opposition to Bill 212 that will create more hazardous roads, increase air and noise pollution without solving the congestion problem the city faces.

I am not in favour of this legislation because I think the more people who travel by bike, foot or public transit, the better. In addition, I believe this decision should be made in the municipal arena, who are much closer to the issues in their jurisdiction. It should not be made by the province.
Stay in your own lane and out of ours.
Please stop imposing your personal preferences for cars on Ontarians - we want bike lanes and this is a municipal issue.

I urge the government of Ontario to reconsider this misguided legislation. First, it is significant government over-reach. This is a local matter for local government. Second, it is a matter of safety. My children rely on these to safely get to school and after school activities.

Removing the bike lanes goes against all modern urban planning. The choice to bike or not to bike should be given to Ontarians and not taken away. Provincial interruption into city development at this level is wrong. As a biker and a driver, I need these bike routes to ensure my safety.

Protected bike lanes are not the problem. More car lanes are not the problem. The problem is proper motor vehicle controls don't exist. The current signal system is terrible. Construction closures, and the lack of plan to redirect motor vehicles when lanes are closed.

I do not support the proposal under Bill 212 to require municipalities to seek provincial approval for the implementation of new bike lanes that would remove an existing lane of traffic, require the Province to remove sections of specific bike lanes within the City of Toronto, and provide the Provin

It makes very little sense to remove these bike lanes. The issue in Toronto as is is that it consists primarily of drivers who already cause congestion.

As a resident of Etobicoke south of Royal York and bloor, I’m extremely disappointed in the backward direction the provincial government is moving.
