This part makes me concerned that people's land will be stolen from them without consent: "The Act provides for various offences relating to site inspections and taking possession of land." Taking land without consent is wrong and will have negative impacts on many people.

We need protected bike lanes to ensure people don't die, its as simple as that. Please please please do not remove any installed bike lanes in Toronto or elsewhere in the province.

Bicycle lanes give people the option to bike safely, which makes people less wary to use them on their commutes, which leads to fewer drivers on the road causing congestion. Our very own premier even remarked about how much more safe he felt cycling with a bike lane! Read more

I am disappointed to hear about this proposed bill with it adding additional red tape and bureaucracy to already glacial municipal processes. This is not in keeping with the principle of small government conservatism. Read more

For the purpose of this comment I am going to focus on the bike lane aspect of Bill 212. For this focus I do not support what is being proposed by the bill as it greatly misrepresents the holistic picture of what is going on in our communities and attempts to solve movement issues in isolation.

Traffic has long been an issue in Ontario, especially in the GTA. There is a finite amount of space available to roads and the available space is already in use. Read more

This is bad legislation which has not been properly researched. Bike lanes help alleviate gridlock not add to it. They are great for local merchants and food delivery (supporting local restaurants) and they make cycling safer for everyone including drivers. Read more

Having different transportation options is critical for everyone. Bike lanes allow for safe and efficient transportation. Please expand the amount of bike lanes and consider more public transportation. Read more

I bike to the University of Toronto every weekday from Roncesvalles. I have been hit by cars three times and was once hospitalized for severe injuries to my hip and toes. I use the Bloor and University bike lanes during these trips and strongly oppose their removal. Read more

I'm a person that bikes and drives in Toronto. When driving, I never think it's the bikes that cause traffic. If that was true, Lake Shore would never have traffic. The Gardiner would never have traffic. The DVP would never have traffic. The list goes on. Read more

Removing the bike lanes does not remove the cyclists. The cyclists, especially the food delivery e-bikes, will continue to use main streets because that it where businesses and restaurants are. So, by removing the bike lanes, it does not mean a lane will be returned to cars. Read more
