I am extremely concerned that there are massive parts of legislation that are not related to bike lane removal (which I also disagree with). Here is a quote from the bill:

I am writing to share my concerns about Bill 212, The Reducing Gridlock, Saving You Time Act, and its implications for municipal control over bike lane infrastructure.

This bill is insane. Highways should not be viewed as having so much value to the detriment of everything else. The environment comes first, people’s homes come first, health care and educational infrastructure comes first, PUBLIC TRANSIT AND BIKE LANES come first.

I can't believe we're actually proposing money to make Toronto worse. This government is allergic to evidence based decision making and is not acting in good faith. I do not believe for a second that the Ford adminstration has a genuine interest in making Ontario a better place for its citizens.
In London ON, there simply aren’t enough bike lanes to make commuting safe and practical for most riders. There are just disjointed sections and the sections in between them are scary. Motorists get impatient and create life threatening scenarios on the daily.

As a driver in the downtown Toronto core, I am opposed to the provincial government’s proposal to return bike lines on sections of the Bloor Street, Yonge Street, and University Avenue to motor vehicle lanes. The safety of cyclists far outweighs the minimal time that will be saved.

Bike lanes should not be removed.
This is a big waste of time and money.
Please make ontario more public transit and bike-focused instead of car-focused.
To reduce gridlock in a meaningful and long term way, people need infrastructure that encourages them to get around WITHOUT their car. Bike lanes help to keep cyclists safe, and the bike lanes on these 3 roads are very heavily used.

My family uses the bike lanes that are being proposed for removal. These bike lanes have allowed my children to cycle safely to school and for all of us to quickly and safely traverse our neighborhood. Removing the lanes will be costly, wasting of taxpayer money.

We are a family of 4. Our main transportation is bike.
We frequently use the bike lanes on Bloor (mainly Shaw to Bathurst) and Avenue (mainly Colleague and south).
This is our way to stay fit and healthy, and to move around the city quickly and safely.

I am one government overstep away from losing my mind. This bill is illegal. It takes rights away from citizens and local municipal goverments. Keep pushing it Doug Ford and you are gonna have blood in the streets.

The true purpose of this bill – beyond the province meddling in municipal planning and overriding local government – is the expropriation of private land along highways and potential highway routes to once again benefit Doug Ford's developer friends at the public's expense.

This is a gross misuse of provincial resources and attention. The bikelanes in place have had a demonstrably positive effect on both congestion and quality of life in the city, and for the province to unilaterally dismiss this is either a sign of vindictive pettiness or incompetence.

Numerous studies have determined that gridlock reduction cannot be achieved by increasing the capacity for motor vehicles to travel through our cities. More roads and more lanes just mean more cars in the same traffic jams.

The only solution to congestion is safe and reliable alternatives to driving. Removing bike lanes will make traffic worse, and put more people at risk.

I wholeheartedly am against this proposal as it does not accomplish its intended goal of reducing traffic but rather creates more need to use a car instead of alternative forms of transport.

Bike lanes keep families safe. We absolutely need them. We don’t ask for much, not all of us can afford cars, we just want a safe route from A to B. We don’t need easier access to alcohol we need access to safe biking lanes and access to fairly priced groceries.
