The Bike lanes on Yonge Street are a hazard to pedestrians and cars. The cyclists speed through lights and intersections and are difficult to see through the maze of barriers.

I am writing to express my strong opposition to the proposed amendments to Part XII of the Highway Traffic Act contained in Bill 212, and any related proposed regulations. I agree with the City of Toronto Act that allows the City to determine what is in the public interest of the city. Read more

It is abundantly clear to me that the Ford government cares little for science, facts or the safety of its constituents. This short-sighted bill does nothing but send Ontario further back into the dark ages. These are some of the numerous reasons why Ontario's bike lanes must stay: Read more

"Doug Ford has introduced legislation, Bill 212, that is jeopardizing our safety and rolling back transportation choice by usurping democratically elected municipal councils powers to install future bike lanes and ripping out existing ones, especially on Bloor St in Toronto. Read more

Removing bike lanes will force people that are currently using them to use cars and add to gridlock, and preventing new lanes from being installed will prevent people from switching to more space-efficient modes of transport Do not pass this law please

I've lived in Toronto since 1990. When I was a student, I had to cycle to school. Later, as I became a worker downtown, I similarly commuted to work via cycle. I no longer cycle to work but I cycle frequently from work thanks to BikeShare and regularly cycle for recreation or to run errands. Read more

For the past 5 years, I’ve been using Bikeshare on a nearly daily basis to commute around Toronto. It has made the city immeasurably more accessible, affordable and enjoyable for me. Read more

We should be adding bike lanes, not removing them. Cyclists are good for the environment and keep cars off the road. Bike lanes make biking in the city safer and reduce accidents. On a broader issue, the provincial government shouldn’t be involved in city affairs to begin with.

I am against part XII amendments of the Highway act Section 4 empowering the Ministry to delay / cancel implementation or mandate removal of bike lanes in any municipality in Ontario. I am a middle-aged cyclist who commutes 18km to work 2-3 times per week. Read more

This is bill would push us backwards in regard to the environment if the development of the 413 goes as planned. I am not against arterial and ring roads. It's actually good to have those to keep people from rat running through local streets. Read more

I understand that Bill 212 will fast-track the construction of Highway 413 by exempting provincial environmental assessments. This is completely inappropriate. Read more

Please don't remove any bike lanes. There are so many Torontonians that cannot afford a transit pass and need those bike lanes to get to work. Bike lanes can also reduce gridlock by expanding to a safe levels so more people will use them. Thanks for all you do!

I am concerned that this proposal will lead to my kids will not have a safe (and healthy) way to get around town since municipalities are slowed down by the additional approval process (195.2 "Ministry approval for bicycle lanes required"). Read more
