I have kids who ride bikes and I fear for their safety all the time. How is removing protected bike lanes going to help them? When I drive, I feel it's much safer for everyone when cyclists have their own lane. Read more

I use the bike lanes in Toronto on a daily basis. They help me get to work, do my groceries and enjoy the city. I remember when Bloor and Young didn't have bike lanes; I had to take alternate longer routes or bike next to SUVs, trucks and cars. It is scary. Read more

This bill goes against well studied and understood principles of improving traffic and connectivity, and going forward with it would create the problems it claims to resolve. Read more

I live in Halton and commute to Toronto for work. I strongly disagree with the removal of bike lanes unless the dedicated bike lanes are replaced with an alternative prior to removal (I.e. an underground cycling network or dedicated bike lanes on a nearby parallel street). Read more

This is utterly ridiculous. Are you actually serious that you are proposing to take away bike lanes and the authority to do what Municipalities are mandated to do? What give you the right to take more authority than the Municipal Act allows you? Read more

Firstly, This entire campaign should not exist, primarily due to the fact that the province is meddling in the country’s biggest city’s business, and going against what the city wants to do without any consultation, like an authoritarian regime. Read more

I am a resident of Bloor West who travels by car and by bike, and I do not support the removal of the lanes on Bloor, Yonge and University. More fundamentally, I am concerned about provincial reach into municipal affairs and the continued specific hyper focus on Toronto. Read more

Dear Premier Ford, I urge you to stop Bill 212. I was heartbroken to hear Alex Amaro’s parents share the loss of their daughter, who was tragically killed while riding her bike on a busy road without bike lanes. Their message was clear: "Bike lanes could have saved our daughter." Read more

Glad you're wanting to reduce gridlock in the city. I drive from downtown to Etobicoke every day and have for years. Bike lanes don't make a lick of difference in terms of gridlock. Those were just parking lanes anyway.Seems like a waste of money and more traffic issues. Read more

I am very much opposed. For one thing, taking out all these bike lanes will mean shutting down large sections of the major roads in question, for months and months, AGAIN. How is that supposed to help with congestion, exactly? Read more

Whoever is reading this probably knows this is a cynical, wasteful decision to destroy infrastructure that reduces traffic and to restore lanes in which cars can park on the street. Read more

The proposal compromises a crucial piece of safety infrastructure that benefits all road users. Studies consistently show that bike lanes enhance safety for pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers by organizing traffic flow, reducing collisions, and increasing predictability on the road. Read more

I drive a car here in Toronto. I don’t ride a bike. I want the bike lanes to remain in place so that cars and bikes do not have to share the same lanes. Prior to the bike lanes on Bloor Street west, motorists and bikes were at risk. It was difficult to pass and to share the road. Read more

This is an appalling misuse of government funds. I do not support this bill. It needs to be trashed. I am particularly offended by removing bike lanes at great cost. Unsupportable, unconscionable, idiotic.
