Bikes lanes must be required on every street. No street reconstruction can be allowed to proceed without the incorporation of bike lanes and sidewalks into the entire length
I want it known that the total absence of any credible evaluation of any of the bike lanes installed on Bloor Street West in the City of Toronto is an outrageous abrogation of responsibility of Council.

Removing bike lanes will do nothing to remove gridlock in Ontario, which is a function of a poor record on delivering transit that would remove those who do not need a car on a daily basis and allow those that do require one to move more freely.

Removal of these bike lanes is asinine and completely obvious this is being done to mislead the public.
The provincial government is focusing it's efforts in governing four streets in downtown Toronto, not the province. The premier is welcome to run for mayor again if he's so inclined.

Taking out bike lanes that were just installed and cost the city millions is a terrible way to run a province. But a great way to get money in the pockets of your construction friends. Thanks dougie!!
Provincial government should not impose its regulations on municipal infrastructure. Leave our bike lanes alone. We should be making cities more walkable and bike-able, not less.
This is a purely political and emotional play that is a gargantuan waste of taxpayer money. Removing any physical transportation infrastructure is an ill conceived move that is not fiscally responsible and not supported by data.

This is an absolutely terrible idea. Doug Ford and the PCs will have the weight of increased biker deaths on their conscience. Also, studies are nearly unanimous that bike lanes don't increase traffic. Something that is "popular" is not a good idea.

I strongly oppose bill 212. The city has been making good progress on bike infrastructure in recent years and I’d hate to see us move backwards. Preventing the installation of new bike lanes is only a band-aid solution to the city’s traffic problems. More people biking will actually reduce traffic.

I am writing to express my strong opposition to the Ontario government’s recent bill that would allow the province to ban and remove bike lanes.

It seems like a waste of time and resource to take away a city's ability to manage its own transport infrastructure development and fiscally irresponsible of the province.
This is shortsighted and stupid. Bike lanes are what more cities need and the province should not legislate how cities deal with moving people around. Stay in your own lane and let cities decide how they will do this.
I live in downtown Toronto, near the Distillery District, and I fully support the proposed bill to better regulate bike lanes and address traffic congestion.

This is a bad idea. It will not solve any problems, it will increase the size of government, reduce the independence of cities, make progress slower, and most important, it will lead to people dying without reducing commute time.

I fail to see how this will help traffic at all. It will force me and countless other cyclists back into cars, further clogging the already overburdened streets with even more vehicles.

As both a bike rider and a car rider, I want to emphasis the importance of bike lanes. Bike lanes keep bike riders safe and take cars off the road which improves grid lock.

This project is an absurd and will put people in danger. It will only increase the dispute between drivers and cyclists.
This is 2024 and we should be promoting more active transportation. Not less!
Cancel this bill!
This proposal goes against all expert advice and evidence about how to address gridlock. Bike lanes don't cause congestion, they help to alleviate it because they make it possible for more people to bike instead of driving.
