Hello, I would like to say that removing the bike lanes is a great idea. The traffic it has caused in huge. Someone needs to come by in the evening during rush hour and you'll see it's bumper to bumper traffic from Dundas, it's a joke. I support the removal, GET RID OF THEM!!!!

I think it is concerning that you want to forcefully push people out from their property without due process in order to build more highways/more lanes for highways. Again, it would make much more sense to encourage other people to use alternative forms of transportation. Read more

This is provincial overreach into municipal affairs. It is ridiculous to micromanage municipal affairs from a provincal level. It really seems like Doug Ford personally does not like certain bike lanes in Toronto. But this is not the problem of any of us but him. Read more

As an avid cyclist in the city of Toronto for close to 25 years now I can say that the current state of our bike lane system is the best and safest feeling its ever been since I started cycling. Read more

I strongly oppose the provincial government’s proposal to remove sections of the bike lanes along Bloor Street, Yonge Street, and University Avenue to convert them back into motor vehicle lanes. Read more

This is clear provincial overreach that seems to be more about the premier's failed mayoral bid and his personal commute than doing what's best for all Ontarians. Read more

I don't understand how this will save me time. I use my bike for transportation (not just recreation). By discouraging the creation of bike lanes, this bill will put me at greater risk AND will force me to drive out on car lanes where I actually WILL interfere with traffic. Read more

Promoting alternative methods of transportation to motor vehicles is the safe and effective solution to traffic congestion. Bike lanes are essential for keeping cyclists and drivers safe. It would be dangerous and counter productive to remove bike lanes in Toronto.

I believe this proposed bill is against the best interests of Ontario & Toronto residents. There has been a large increase in bike riders in the city, and having dedicated bike lanes is better for these riders AND automobile drivers. Read more

As a Toronto driver, I hate gridlock. But bike lanes are NOT causing the problem. I don't want to sit in the traffic that the construction to remove bike lanes would cause. I don't want to have to drive comically slowly behind a cyclist when there isn't room to pass. Read more

This proposal is at odds with progressive jurisdictions all across the globe that are working to increase alternative environmental and healthy modes of travel and reduce inefficient and hugely expensive automobile use. Read more

I'm against this bill because bike lanes make living in Toronto more enjoyable and helps low-income people get to work without wasting money on the dangerous TTC subway system. Toronto needs more bike lane infrastructure not less. Read more

This is horrible provincial over reach into municipalities. I should get to have a say in what kind of city I live in and how I get to work. Not only should the province not be interfering with city planning, The proposed Bill 212 is misleading. Read more

As someone who has lived in Toronto for 20 years, what I can tell you is that before the bike lanes car traffic was bumper to bumper, after bike lanes car traffic was bumper to bumper, if they remove the bike lanes I predict that the car traffic will be... you guessed it, bumper to bumper.
