Removing and prohibiting bike lanes is taking us backward. Please listen to the evidence and the experts. Roads are for everyone, not just cars. If we get people out of cars, there will be less congestion. I am 60 and I like to ride my bike to work. I won't do so when I don't feel safe.

I disagree with both removing the bike-lanes already installed in Toronto, and with legislating that municipalities must get provincial permission to install bike lanes on major arteries than remove/infringe on car lanes. These are steps backwards.

As a taxpayer of Ontario, I support efficient bureaucracy and reasonable spending to achieve our aims of getting people where they need to go. This bill does neither of those things.

I am strongly opposed to Bill 212. I am a driver, a cyclist and a Toronto resident. I rely on bike lanes to bike safely and efficiently. By choosing to cycle, I’m helping reduce congestion and pollution, making the city more livable for everyone.

I commute by bike because of the safety of the separated bike lane. If they are removed, I'll have to choose to drive, and you'll just have one more car on the road during rush hour.
I think it’s unconscionable that the province would waste money removing existing bike lanes that have proven to make our streets safer. Cycling deaths are up in Toronto & they occur mostly in places without a separated bike lane.

The premiere shouldn’t be stepping in on municipal affairs and more so the provincial government should not be using data from 2011 to push their agenda. Bike lanes improve traffic for small businesses and more importantly they provided better safety on the streets.

I do not think it is the responsibility of the province to add and/or remove bike lanes. Bike lanes should be a municipal decision based on local needs rather than provincial needs.

I am opposed to eliminating bike lanes within the City of Toronto, and the province being able to overrule the decisions made by municipal governments with regards to bike lanes.

It breaks my heart to see the Premier pitting bicyclists and drivers against one another, in a city like Toronto where we need to work together to make sure people arrive safely to wherever they need to go.

As a resident of Toronto, I find it troubling that the provincial government intends to dismantle infrastructure intended to encourage safe travel for bike users. With recent news of bicyclist deaths, I find the reasoning made by our ministers to be flawed.

Doug Ford is interfering with Toronto infrastructure and it will be a detriment to us all. Braess's paradox is the observation that adding more lanes INCREASES TRAFFIC and was discovered in 1920. Cities like Seoul and New York City have proven it to be true.

My family have all used bike lanes for work, appt's errands and leisure. Currently my husband and I bike to work and my daughter to university.

BIKE LANES SAVE LIVES. 6 people riding bicycles have been killed by cars & trucks in the GTA this year. A 13 year old girl riding a bicycle was recently killed in Ajax. Safety of all road users must be a priority in all transportation decisions.

This is a poorly thought out proposal. The focus should be on improving transit options to enable drivers to have confidence in their usage. Increasing transit frequency, reliability and options will reduce traffic.

While I agree with the general idea of reducing gridlock, especially as a driver, I do not agree with limiting the authority of local governments. Municipal governments are the closest to citizens with the most impact on everyday citizen life.

I cannot state strongly enough my opposition to this bill.
First, the provincial government dictating to cities where they may place bike lanes is asinine. There is no need for the province to interfere on this level.
