This bill represents another instance of confusing a city street and a road, as exemplified by the inclusion of proposing the removal of several Toronto bike lanes on STREETS. Streets should be places form people - to gather, shop, walk, and create value for the local community. Read more

This is a costly and extremely misguided bill. The problem with gridlock is not caused by bike lanes. It is caused by insufficient public transit and a ballooning population. Read more

Please Premier Ford, please reconsider this act. I understand there are constituents who are not happy with the bike lanes, but they make it safer for all of us. They separate cars from pedestrians. They reduce the number of cars on the road. Read more

Hi, I've lived in Toronto my entire life and am now in my 50s. I went from driving exclusively for my commutes, to cycling exclusively over the past five years. Read more

Hands off our bike lanes. The provincial government should be focusing on other critical issues like healthcare instead of punishing Torontonisns for never voting in Ford. Stop trying to distract us with these petty issues. Bike lanes save lives. Read more

Bike lanes are important. They reduce traffic and smog in the downtown core and give people a safe, healthy and carbon neutral way to get to work and around the city. Also, with the increase in ebikes they are used more and more for long range transportation and delivery services. Read more

The Ford governments plan to remove bike lanes on Bloor Street, University Avenue and Yonge street is an outrageous and unnecessary overstep of Privincial authority. Furthermore, the plan to require provincial approval for municpalities to install bike lanes is equally misguided. Read more

I believe that this bill has two distinct agendas to it that should both be looked at individually. I think that the removal of bike lanes in cities will only add more traffic as we will be reducing other more efficient modes of transportation. Read more

I write as a frequent driver on many of the Toronto streets with bike lanes threatened with removal through Bill 212 (Bloor and University in particular). I have not experienced any negative effects from the installation of the bike lanes. Read more

I believe that having bike lanes on numerous streets in Toronto and other municipalities is good for the environment. When people ride bikes it reduces the pollution caused by automobiles and helps to relieve gridlock as there are fewer cars on the road. Read more

Please do not remove bike lanes from Toronto streets. Many residents are happy that drivers are forced to slow down and drive more carefully as this makes the streets safer for ALL users including pedestrians. Read more
