Dear Minister of Transportation: Oh boy. This is a really power-centric bill. There is NO GOOD reason to get this bill passed. The provincial government needs to let the municipalities decide their future … not the provincial government!! Read more

I am a Kitchener resident who both drives and cycles, and I strongly oppose a provincial bill 212. My reasons include: 1) It undermines citizens and municipal leaders, who are the most knowledgable about, and the most invested in their cities. Read more

Bike lanes should be left up to the municipalities. More people taking bikes to get around means less cars causing congestion. There are more important issues going on that are in the provincial purview, like healthcare. Read more

I like thousands of Torontonians and Ontarians depend on bike lanes as a safe, efficient, economical and healthy way to get around our cities. I am appalled by the government's plans to remove sorely needed bicycle lanes that keep cyclists and motorists safe. We need MORE cycling lanes not fewer. Read more

This legislation will be terrible for everyone. Removing the bike lanes along Bloor, Yonge, and University will get cyclists killed and increase congestion for drivers, as adding lanes always does due to induced demand. Read more

SAVE OUR BIKE LANES! Bike lanes save lives. What we need is more bikers and more public transportation. Clearing bike lanes will add a handful more cars to roads and will make our city less hospitable and less safe. I vehemently oppose your proposition to get rid of bike lanes on streets like Bloor.

I've been cycling in the city for over 5 years and I feel the streets have become a lot safer for cyclists with the expansion of Toronto's bike lane network. There is no evidence that bike lanes have substantially negatively impacted traffic or emergency vehicle response times. Read more

The proposed Bill 212 is an extraordinary overreach into municipal jurisdiction. It will prevent the installation of life-saving infrastructure that is an essential part of an efficient and forward-looking transportation system, wasting taxpayers’ money in the process. Read more

This is the definition of overreach and red tape. A complete waste of time and abuse of taxpayer money. These decisions should be made at the municipal level where people are directly impacted. As a citizen and taxpayer, I want decisions being made that are based on sound and compelling evidence. Read more

I have lived in Toronto for 5 years now and worked here for slightly longer. In the past two years I have lived close to Bloor. Soon after moving I started using the bike share, quickly this became my favorite way to get around my city. Read more

The province has no business overriding municipalities that truly understand our communities. As a University of Toronto student, I rely on these bike lanes daily, and their removal puts my safety—and the safety of countless others—at risk. Read more
