I am vehemently opposed Bill 212 or any other measure that would reduce or restrict the number of dedicated bike lanes in Ontario. If the government wants to tackle the issue of traffic gridlock or congestion, start with the facts.

Great cities around the world are removing CAR lanes, not bike lanes, because areas with fewer cars have improved quality of life- better quality of air, more greenspace, and improved access to shopping and other services. A parked car takes up the space which would hold 15-20 bikes.

I strongly disagree with taking down our life saving bike lanes! I bike to work and do shopping and errants with my bike, it’s my main means of transportation. You will be putting my life, and the life of many Torontonians like me, at risk by removing the safety the lanes provide.

I use the Bloor and Yonge st. bike lanes to get to/from work daily. I rely on these lanes to ensure my safety. I do not understand how the safety and well being of cyclists like me does not matter to the Provincial government.

I would love to keep our roads safe and quiet and therefore would love to contnute having the bike lanes. Please, keep investing into public transport instead!! I grew up in Europe and have seen it work well for large populations densities and led to highly mobile and vibrant communities.

In my opinion the removal of bike lanes is a step backward with respect to encouraging the use of alternative transportation strategies and forgoing the use of personal motor vehicles within the confines of urban areas.

Doug Ford is a dinosaur, with every major country in the world leaning toward providing infrastructure for safer cycling, he and his government are headed in the opposite direction.

This is a terrifying bill. As a cyclist and driver I value bike lanes because I value my safety and the safety of others. Bike lanes aren’t the cause of gridlock, a lack of accessible, timely transit and safe alternatives are what create chaos on the streets.

I'm not the biggest expert on congestion and traffic but I am pretty sure that bikes are smaller than cars and if it was easier to travel by bike more there would be less congestion than if roads were centered around giant polluting death machines.

This is regressive legislation.
The only way it could make sense is if corresponding off road bike paths were to replace the on road lanes right away.
Far more bicycles can travel on the same square footage than cars.

As a citizen of Ontario who is concerned with both ease of transportation and the rising cost of living crisis. This proposed bill flies in the face of what could only be described as sane governance. Cyclists and people who use bike lanes are a boon to us all, not a negative.

This bill is a grossly misguided waste of tax payer money. Bike lanes in the city of Toronto provide a safe, affordable and efficient way to transit the city. Their removal will not resolve gridlock issues and will put cycling safety at risk.

Removing bike lanes will be disastrous for the city. The induced demand, coupled with the reduction of cyclists (due to the danger of driving alongside cars) will only result in more traffic and gridlock in a city already suffering.

Bill 212, Framework for Bike Lands is government overreach and an assault on local democracy with no evidence that it will alleviate congestion.

As a long time citizen of Toronto and someone who walks, takes transits, DRIVES and bikes - the notion that you are considering reducing bike lanes is just poor policy.

Hello,
I cycle to work every day, and do our household shopping by bicycle as well. All of these trips are relatively short distance, under 5 km, one-way.

More bike lanes, not less.
Citizens expect progressive ideas from elected leaders.
Many vehicles have only one person inside. This could be one reason why Toronto's roads are so congested.
