Regarding Bill 212:
I try to regularly read the papers, various papers with various views, both local and global.

I believe this legislation is not well thought through and is actually a step backwards. We need to encourage increased use of cycling, not make it more difficult and dangerous. And it defies belief that these changes will accomplish any noticeable reduction in gridlock.

this is wreckless policy that is just going to get people injured and killed.
removing these bike lanes will not reduce congestion. its 2024, look what every other global city is doing, MORE bike lanes.

I used the Bloor St. bike lane every day I biked to work this past summer, it was faster than taking the subway. Please do not remove it. Cars and traffic are loud and dangerous, not to mention the obvious environmental impacts.

While the provincial government continues its support and promotion of car culture, the rest of live in fear our grandchildren won't be able to leave their air conditioned homes. More time and money should be spent on a usable commuter rail system, not highways.

Bike lanes are the source of my daily commute. They are essential for the safety of bike commuters. In 2021, I was in a bike accident where a bike lane was not available. Not only did I fracture my shoulder, but the accident resulted in several hours taken up at the Toronto General ER.
For goodness sake... leave the bike lanes alone. And do NOT go forward with the 413. Highways breed cars is actually a thing. And traffic lanes also breed cars. We need more bikes and fewer cars.
The proposed legislation to remove bike lanes in cities is misguided and potentially dangerous. I live just north of Bloor Street West near Ossington Avenue. I use the bike lane along Bloor Street to travel west to the Dufferin Mall and east to Spadina.

Reducing gridlock is a good goal. More lanes for cars to drive along would help in the short term. However, more lanes is not a long term solution. Take the Katy Freeway Expansion in Houston, Texas (2008–2011):

I am absolutely astonished by the lack of research, planning and thought underpinning Bill 212. The Province wants to remove bike lanes in Toronto and reserve the right to veto proposed lanes where they impinge on road lanes.

I use all the bike lanes repeatedly. It will not help with traffic. Bikes reduce traffic and allow for more biking as it feels safer than the bare road. Please don’t take away our bike lanes
I have lived, worked and paid taxes in Ontario for over forty years. I both ride a bike and drive a car, and I know that this proposal is completely wrong.

This bill will only create more congestion, put the lives of all road users at even greater risk (doubly so for vulnerable road users on bikes or walking), increase emissions, and is a gross overreach.

Keep the bike lanes, they were only just built!! The time and money used to build them and then remove them is such a huge waste of our tax dollars, in addition to creating a huge problem for all cyclists.
This is terrible policy and will not solve the problem it seeks to solve.
Removing bike lanes removes people's choices for how they travel. The bike lane users who take their cars off the road when using their bikes will no longer feel safe biking without these lanes.

This bill is a $48 million dollar waste of resources to destroy newly introduced positive infrastructure. Eliminating bike lanes will make roads exponentially more dangerous for both cyclists and drivers. It will contribute to more collisions and fatalities, making streets more congested.
