This bill makes absolutely no sense and is incredibly dumb.
1. Simply conducting 5 minutes of research online shows that adding more traffic lanes does not reduce road congestion.

Hi there, I really value the safety, affordability and health benefits of bike lanes in Toronto. For safety, the bike lanes on Bloor, Bay and University (and many others) have provided me a dedicated path that is usually high traffic.

I am thoroughly disgusted that Premier Ford is sticking his corrupt nose into municipal politics. The overwhelming majority of people want bike lanes.

This is absolutely absurd and based on erroneous info. This will endanger more cyclists’ lives without substantially decreasing driver’s commute times. Anything to get a vote. SHAMEFUL! Just because Toronto didn’t want another Ford for mayor.
There are many reasons to encourage the use of bike lanes and to make it easier for municipalities to put them in place, mainly from the numerous and expensive externalities of cars. However, I oppose this act for a much simpler reason: it is a massively inefficient operation of government.

I do not agree to this. As a visitor, who came from BC to visit Toronto, I was amazed by its downtown bicycle infrastructure. This is what wants me to return back to Toronto. I ended up spending more money, just because I was able to go into the shop I am riding by.

Bill 212, specifically the ‘framework for bike lanes that require removal of a traffic lane’, is not going to solve congestion, but it IS going to get people killed.

On a recent visit to Toronto I visited a restaurant on Bloor street. Dozens upon dozens of bike riders rode by as I had lunch, making heavy use of the Bloor street bike lane.

Please do not remove the bike lanes. They are essential for commuters and the environment. Please do not waste public money on destroying important infrastructure.
My wife felt safe biking in Toronto, in the bike lanes mentioned in this bill. They enabled her to see more of the city (and to spend more money there).

I am a constituent that lives in Toronto and a frequent commuter that owns a car and a bike, but I primarily use bike lanes to commute and get around the city as it is the most effective, environmentally friendly and efficient way to move around the city.

This is outrageous. Studies around the world, and even in Toronto, demonstrate that bike lanes reduce gridlock, benefit local businesses, and most importantly save lives! More vehicular lanes = more traffic, it’s well documented. Do your research and quit wasting tax dollars on nonsense like this.

I live in London, Ontario which is just beginning to put in more protected bike lanes. I am disgusted by the Ford government's hostile attitude towards cyclists. Our presence on bikes helps to reduce gridlock by removing cars on the road, it does not increase gridlock.

As a driver along Bloor Street regularly I am glad there are bike lanes. The bike lane encourages the building and sustaining of community at a cost of only a few minutes to the individual driver.

This proposal is exactly the opposite of what the Province of Ontario should be doing and is not common sense at all. Every person going to work or school or shopping or to an appointment who is riding a bicycle is reducing gridlock.

This is grotesque and should not proceed any further.
There is no evidence to suggest that removing bike lanes will in any way increase the speed of traffic. The proponents of this plan rely on “common sense“ but do not actually provide any scientific basis for their claims.

Please do not remove bike lanes!!! As a citizen that both drives and bikes I hate this idea. Biking cuts down gridlock and is so much faster. I don’t feel safe riding in a shared lane with a car. Also while you are at it let’s make all micro vehicles (like e-scooters) legal.
