Bill 212 is a farce. Doug Ford is trying to MAKE ME UNSAFE biking to school so that he doesn’t have to drive next to bike lanes on his way to work (when he actually goes to work, which is less than a 100 days a year).

Wasting money on tearing down existing bike lanes is ridiculous. More lanes will not reduce traffic, increasing alternative transportation options will. Pedestrians and cyclists are much more likely to stop and visit shops than someone in a car.
I've lived in Toronto for 17 years, and my partner and I have always used cycling as our primary transportation. Until the recent major construction wave, we also frequently used TTC and taxis, but we now find cycling is always the fastest way to get from point to point in the core.

Removing bike lanes in Toronto's downtown core is a terrible idea. I personally know three cyclists killed on our roads. I see motorists driving dangerously, on their cell phones and speeding every day without any apparent enforcement. Bike lanes save lives.

I am not supportive of this bill. Given the change to prevent land owners from requesting a date change under the expropriations act would not be allowed for new highway is rediculous. It's their land, they should be allowed to keep it.

PLEASE DO NOT REMOVE OUR BIKE LANES! I like so many others depend on them for safe and clean transportation every single day. They are absolutely necessary to ensure safety of bikers, pedestrians and cars alike. Removing them would be a travesty.

I'm not going to bother sending another email that gets into the debate of whether bike lanes are "bad" or "good." I am going to speak as a Toronto taxpayer.

This proposal isn't based on data and panders to car drivers that, many studies show, bring less economic value to local businesses. This is a waste of money to rip out NEW bike lanes and an overreach of provincial powers.

This proposal is a shocking waste of money and will do little to decrease traffic congestion. Traffic in Toronto exists because there are too many cars and the problems on Bloor, etc existed before the bicycle lanes were installed.

Ridiculous to use taxpayer money to remove infrastructure that was just completed using taxpayer money. Cyclists safety is more important than commute times and we should be encouraging alternative transportation to cars, not making it more difficult.
As a commuter who bikes to work from the east end to Union station via the Danforth/Bloor bike lanes, I wholeheartedly disagree with this proposal. It is extremely short sighted and a step backwards from an environmental standpoint to think that removing bike lanes will reduce traffic congestion.

I am a regular cyclist using Bloor, University and Yonge's bike lanes. I also drive on these roads with my kids. Having the bike lanes increases the safety for BOTH drivers and cyclists. It is not the bike lanes that are causing traffic congestion. It is the construction.

Every bike on a bike lane, one less car. Improving congestion. Spending 45 million of our tax dollars to take out bike lanes is a waste, while people are struggling to make ends meet. Bike friendly cities boost the economy.

This is foolish. We know the numbers. It cost us $20M to put in these lanes and now it’s going to cost us $48M. This is not being fiscally conservative. This is being vindictive. People will die because of this. Blood is already on this conservative governments hands. You serve the people.

Hello,
I do not believe we should spend tax dollars to remove the bike lanes in Toronto, especially after a bunch of tax dollars were recently spent to install them. It's a complete waste of money, money that could be better spent on things like: transit projects, green energy or health care.

I disagree wholeheartedly with the stated "objectives/Truths" about what the province needs. I comment on each below. I firmly disagree with wasting taxpayer money to remove existing bike lanes.

The bike lanes on Bloor street need to stay! I commute to the University of Toronto and my bike ride would be much more dangerous if the bike lanes on Bloor are removed. Many bikers use these lanes all the time. If these lanes are removed more bikers will get hurt. More bikers will die.
