Bill 212 is based on a flawed assumption that with more lanes there will be less traffic. Which in fact study after study suggests literal the opposite is true, as this will encourage more cars in our street. Read more

As a resident, homeowner, and taxpayer, I believe Bill 212 is a waste of provincial government money. Bike lanes are not installed with some bizarre agenda. They have been planned and investigated and discussed and voted on by municipalities. Read more

This is so stupid, it goes against basic principles of urban planning. Car centricity is not the solution - and even with out bike infrastructure people will continue to bike due to necessity, which will then become more dangerous for bikers and annoying for drivers. Read more

I have a Bike Share Toronto membership and a carshare membership. In the last 4 years I have taken over 1,100 bikeshare trips and almost 150 carshare trips on the very roads and bike lanes targeted by this bill. Read more

I use the bike lanes on Bloor St., Yonge St., and University Ave almost every day and all year round. They are excellent in terms of efficiency in comparison to driving, especially during rush hour. And they reduce traffic, especially during rush hour. Read more

I use the bike lanes daily for my work commute and errands. They are an essential piece of city infrastructure and removing them would be taking a step backwards in making our city liveable. Read more

I don’t want to see this bill pass. I use the bike lanes in Toronto nearly every day to commute to work, specifically College street and University bike lanes. My grade school daughter regularly uses the Bloor bike lane to travel to High Park for her track club practice. Read more

Bike lanes are very important to this city. Mr. Ford have you thought about biking to work? From your house to queens park it would mostly be bike lanes and then you are one less car off the street! Sounds like a good thing to me! Read more

I am writing to express my strong opposition to the proposed addendum to the framework that would require the removal of sections of the Bloor Street, Yonge Street, and University Avenue bike lanes in the City of Toronto. Read more

We need more cycling infrastructure - not the removal of it. This bill will not support cyclists, or pedestrians. Cycling reduces traffic, promotes tourism, and contributes to more livable cities. Read more

I am a student and I regularly commute on University Ave. and Bloor St. I can't believe these bike lanes are being removed. It's going to cost us, more as tax payers in the long run.

Bill 212 will not reduce gridlock. This is a highly political move to galvanize and anger a suburban base. Mean while people who do bike (which to be very clear, does NOT impact car traffic times) will be put in more danger from bike lanes that are removed. Read more

I strongly disagree with this bill and believe it will harm Canadians. I can tell you that I and many others will continue to ride our bikes on the streets and you will see how you are actively endangering the lives of Canadians. Read more

I live a few blocks from the Bloor/Danforth bike lanes, and do not support this bill. I think the introduction of bike lanes has improved the character of my neighbourhood. Read more

I am deeply opposed to this legislation on a number of grounds. First, this legislation is a waste of government resources and tax payer money. Ontarians do not need or want this amount of red tape for projects that can and should be decided on a local level. Read more
