The bike lanes belong to the city of Toronto. Taking them out is reducing the usability and experience of the city for the people who actually live here. This law is anti democratic.

Bike lanes are empirically a good thing. They can reduce congestion by reducing the number of cars on the road. They reduce the likelihood of serious injury or death for cyclists and drivers. And they lead to economic benefit for main street businesses. These are facts. Read more

Bill 212 is a biased bill against cyclist. It's the type of bill that is too expensive to pass. By removing bike lanes it will cost the province to lose more money. It will raise the death toll of cyclists and pedestrian alike. Read more

This bill, if passed, would put a halt on the development of safe alternative means of transportaion. As someone who has commuted by bicycle in the city for nearly a decade, I have seen this development as essential to my safety and the accessibilty of essentials like work and groceries. Read more

I do not agree with the bill. Research has repeatedly shown widening lanes does not improve traffic flow, it induces car traffic. More cars on roads increases carbon emissions which does nothing to help climate action, we should be encouraging people to use active transportation. Read more

This makes so little sense to me that I can't fathom that this is a real proposal. I'm not a cyclist. I drive everywhere I need to go, and one of my least favorite things to encounter while driving are cyclists. Read more

Schedule 2 and Schedule 3 under this bill are absolutely egregious and blatantly proclaim the agenda of this bill, which to expedite the construction of a highway that at best, has been proven by urbanist experts to not decrease traffic, and at worst, will destroy protected environments in Ontario a Read more

Bill 212 is a dangerous bill that wastes taxpayer money (hello gravy train) and puts people's lives at risk. As a single mother, for the first 10 years of my son's life I did not own a car. Read more

Mere convenience and material gain should not have any consideration in this discussion. Adding more cars to any road adds more concern about our survival as a species. We should be doing EVERYTHING we can to get cars off the road. Read more

Bill 212 will waste money and endanger lives. We can reduce gridlock by building infrastructure-- not destroying it. By investing in public transit, we can reduce the number of cars on the road, increase accessibility, and help the environment. Read more

Please don't remove bike lanes from Toronto streets like Bloor and University. My family and I rely on these for our safety. We purposely moved to a neighbourhood with access to bike lanes so we could live without a car. Removing bike lanes would reduce our quality of life and put us in danger.

This Bill will do nothing to address gridlock. The only way to reduce gridlock is to reduce the number of motor vehicles on the road by encouraging the use of public transportation, cycling, and walking

Less bike lanes makes it more dangerous for people, especially children and teenagers, to use the roads. It's already difficult to get around without a car because everything in some places seems so far from each other, making bikes less safe to use makes it even more difficult. Read more

I am against this proposal as it does not accomplish its intended goal of reducing traffic but rather creates more need to use a car instead of alternative forms of transport. Read more

Leave the bike lanes alone Doug Ford! Let the city progress forward. We don’t need your “buck a beer” solutions in Toronto. We need you to focus on the Eglinton LRT and get it up and running so there are logical alternatives to the city commute.
