As a Torontonian living in an area that has yet to have cycling lane access, I am AGAINST Bill 212 Schedule 4 requiring the City of Toronto to have provincial ministry approval for constructing cycling lanes, and create the framework for the provincial ministry to remove cycling lanes. Read more

This proposed bill is absolutely galling. It is a culmination of the petty tyrant characteristics embodied in our Premier. In what world does this fall into the category of provincial responsibility at all? It's a slap in the face to all Ontarians who live in Toronto AND all those who don't. Read more

Increasing transit frequency across the board and finally opening the 14 year old Eglinton cross town will reduce gridlock, not more construction to remove bike lanes. Is this just a ploy to pay construction companies more? Read more

I'm a cyclist, but I can understand that at least 6 months of the year, people don't ride much. with that being said, bikes are getting better and electric. There's a good case to be made that people could ride much more in the future. Read more

I'm a resident of Ontario and a cyclist. I am writing to state my opposition to the Ontario government’s Bill 212 - Reducing Gridlock, Saving You Time Act, 2024, which is unsupported by evidence and ignores data-supported advice from planning experts, environmental advocates, and cycling groups.

The Minister of transportation stated that "Bike lanes should only go where they make sense." They make sense on Yonge Street, which is, and needs to continue to be, a multi-mode transportation corridor. Read more

REMOVE ALL THE BIKE LANES IN ETOBICOKE, there are nowhere near the amount of cyclists using them to justify removing so many lanes of traffic. And while you’re at it remove the Scarlett Rd ones too

I live in the county and so am unlikely to be affected by this bill but I nevertheless object to to portion about appropriating land with recourse for the owners. If you want someones land then pay what they want for it or piss off. This is not the conservative principle that I voted for. Read more

The province's plan to removing bike lanes to alleviate congestion is utterly misguided. It is akin to removing lifeguards to redue pool crowding - completely ignores safety concerns.

Regarding bike lanes, this is my understanding: After spending a humongous amount of time and taxpayer money on planning so city officials can understand the needs and wants of their community as comprehensively as possible... ...all this is stopped and could be completely wasted... Read more

I am absolutely opposed to this giant STEP BACKWARDS by the Province. We in the City have worked so hard to reduce vehicular congestion based on reducing traffic volumes through bike lanes. The Province is trying to lead us backwards into the days of cars over all other forms of transport. Read more

What do you think will happen to all the cyclists once you remove the bike lanes? Will they magically disappear? Will they magically be able to afford cars? No. They will be forced to share a lane with even more cars and be put in danger. Read more
