Bill 212 removing bike lanes is a waste of money and time and increases safety risks to taxpayers of Ontario, money that would be better spent on hiring more nurses and doctors in rural areas.
This bill is both severely ill-advised and counterproductive, and I am NOT in favour. I will not have my tax dollars go towards ripping out existing infrastructure that, counter to the Ford government's claims, actually DOES help reduce traffic congestion.

I am a daily cyclist and lawyer. I commute to work and home every day on my bike. I'm a lifelong Toronto resident who grew up in both North York and Etobicoke; two areas of the city where until recently there was a lack of bike infrastructure.

As someone who depends on this infrastructure for work and who was a student in the city. This infrastructure was and still remains necessary for my daily commute.

It’s essential to highlight the importance of protecting and expanding cycling infrastructure to prevent road deaths and support urban transit goals.

As a Car owner in Toronto. I find many of the suggestions within this bill insultingly unscientific and without any consideration of empirical evidence. Study after study highlights how encouraging bike use leads to safer and less busy roads for all (one cited below).

Instead of indangering cyclists' lives by removing bike lanes, try restricting passenger vehicle sizes. No need to have oversized pickups and SUVs taking up valuable space in traffic when not being used for construction.
Bill 212 is outdated, and frankly abysmal to any modern city. Removing bike lanes will endanger lives, worsen car traffic and make everyone's lives more miserable.
Accessible transportation is for everyone, and bike lanes are shown to reduce traffic overall, for everyone.

Removing bike lanes on the main thoroughfares is likely to cause more deaths of cyclists, cause more congestion because people using bikes are not using cars, pollute the environment more and therefore lead to negative health impacts for Toronto residents.

We need to stick to the right vision for the City of Toronto and the Province of Ontario.
Do we want a livable, healthy city and province with a high quality of life and excellent air quality?

Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the bike lanes framework. I am a driver who regularly drives on the streets (Bloor, Yonge, University) where the bike lanes will be removed.

There is no need for the provincial government to be bullying cities and how they control traffic at these scales. Please stick to your supposed ideals and stop this style of big government over-reach. The Bloor and Yonge St.

I suggest the government focus on health, education and climate action. This is an inexcusable and indefensible intrusion into municipal affairs. Let municipalities and their citizens make all decisions about bike lanes.
Hello, I don’t understand why my hard earned Vaughan tax dollars are being shipped off to Toronto to demolish recently completed bicycle infrastructure.

This bill is such a colossally bad idea - ripping out bike lanes only causes more congestion, costs a ton of money, and not to mention: makes roads far more dangerous for everyone! This will undoubtably cause deaths.

This bill is absolute garbage and you should be asham d of yourselves.
Bike lanes save lives, and cyclists aren't your enemy.
Traffic is caused by cars. The fix is actually funding public transportation networks and naming them the viable option for people.
What is the evidence that bike lanes on Bloor Street contribute to gridlock? The bike lanes save lives and to remove them, without even any consideration of evidence or alternatives to address gridlock, is a shocking disregard for the lives of people.
