This legislation undermines good transportation planning, and I am concerned it will make it more difficult to build bike infrastructure that can reduce the number of deaths and catastrophic injuries on Ontario's roads. Read more

I completely disagree with this bill about bike lanes. This should be left in the hands of municipalities. Bike lanes actually save money by not having cars breaking up pavement at the curbs. Cyclists need more infrastructure not less

You need to drop this bill, all your data is wrong, the bike lanes along bloor have nothing to do with the congestion and even if it did the data shows the car commute is now ONLY 1-3minutes more since the bike lanes got put in. Read more

I am 69 years old. I cycle for health, for socializing and, often to raise funds for charities, like Princess Margaret Hospital's Ride to Conquer Cancer. I do not use my bike for commuting but this legislation threatens my safety and the safety of all law-abiding cyclist in the province. Read more

I would like to register my opposition to this Bill. The province needs to listen to the traffic Consultants. I have not heard that there is any data showing that bike lanes inhibit the movement of vehicular traffic and no experts to my knowledge have come out in favour of removing bike lanes. Read more

This idea is outrageous! Adding more traffic lanes is a temporary solution. Everyone knows that. Adding more roads and highways adds temporary relief, but encourages more people to drive. Read more

Bill 212 to control bike lanes, a new vision is required to enhance, encourage, and force communal transportation. There is only gridlock due to individual drivers commuting. This has been an issue for 40 years. New roads and highways have been built to "accommodate" this old way of thinking. Read more

This approach to commute time problems is terrible. Rather than reducing bike lanes, a better solution would be to increase support for bike and transit infrastructure. This would take more commute-related cars off streets—and result in alleviating traffic congestion.

This bill is detrimental to the encouragement of people to use non motorized transportation. It has been proven that removal of bike lanes increases the the amount of traffic rather than reducing it. Read more

Great idea as long as it comes with ways to travel faster for bikes too. I recommend we adopt the same traffic regulations as Idaho. For bikes only, stop lights become stop signs, and stop signs become yield signs. Read more

I own a vehicle and use public transit, but my prime choice of transportation is by bicycle. I ride all-year around. There are many reasons for this: 1) My personal health: be it through the extra daily activitiy, or the fresh air vs sharing the air with many people on transit. Read more

We are a family of five, all of whom bike. It is already not very safe for my kids on many Toronto streets. Cars do not look carefully for bikers or walkers and it is not very safe unless there is clearly divided bike lane. Read more

This consequences of this proposal will not be positive for Ontario. The removal of bike lanes will increase the need for cars transportation, which not only harms the environment but ultimately results in more vehicle traffic. Read more

This bill is complete garbage. Anyone who is willing to do 5 minutes of research can show that this is not the way to remove vehicle congestion on city streets. This falls into the same bucket as "just keep building more roads". Read more
