It is completely false that bike lanes cause traffic congestion. The Premier and Minister of Transport continue to lie about this Bill. The causes of traffic congestion are: dependence on private vehicle, lack of alternative modes of transportation and construction. Read more

I strongly oppose the bike lane provisions of Bill 212, for the following reasons: (1) It is an unacceptable and unwarranted intrusion into local authority; (2) It unfairly and unnecessarily gives priority to vehicles on the use of roads, at the expense of cyclists and other forms of active transpo Read more

I am a suburban resident in a riding that is currently Conservative, and I strongly oppose this bill. Removing bike lanes would not reduce gridlock, since it would just cause bikes to go in the car lane. Read more

The Province has no business interfering with municipal decisions regarding bike lanes - especially when the interference is based on faulty logic about the causes of traffic congestion. Read more

According to data out of the US, the most dangerous roads are those that are maintained at the level of the state instead of the city. This bill forces cities, which are better placed for understanding the local dynamics, to abide by provincial wishes, unfounded by data. Read more

I strongly object to the removal of bike lanes on Bloor Street, Yonge Street and University Avenue. Their removal would endanger the safety of cyclists and increase auto vehicles on the roadway, causing an increase in greenhouse gas emissions and air quality. Read more

Bike lanes do not cause gridlock, but construction obstruction and reckless drivers. Improving road infrastructure like dedicated lanes for public transport and more bike lanes would present alternatives reducing the number of cars on the roads. Read more

If my son or daughter dies on bloor biking to school it will be your fault. Get your head out of the mud. Will never vote for you or anyone in your party again if you push this through. You’ll also have to physically remove me and my entire family from the bike lane if you want to dig it up. Read more

This is a backwards bill that makes me embarrassed it is even being considered. Bike lanes are a part of every healthy city. When bike lanes are made well, they reduce traffic on the road creating a faster commute for everyone. Read more

This feels like adding undue friction to the process and is a bad idea. I am very opposed to this bill as it seems like it will hurt bikers and we need more support to bike-ify of cities not this none sense.

I fully oppose this proposal for multiple reasons: 1) Removing currently existing bike lanes requires millions of dollars and lengthy construction which will further increase delays and not be a good use of tax dollars. Read more

My first comment would be about spending so much to remove existing bike lanes. What a total lack of foresight because without encouragement to cycle, there will not ever be an increase in cyclists. Removing these lanes makes it much more dangerous and thus less likely that people will cycle. Read more

Premier Ford and Minister Sarkarina's plan to interfere with municipal affairs by forcing the removal of bike lanes is disappointing. The fact is that bike lanes make our streets safer, more liveable for people and they reduce congestion. Read more

Unlike construction obstruction and reckless drivers, bike lanes do not cause gridlock. To the contrary, every cyclist might be considered as one car less on the road. Read more
