I’m vehemently against the removal of bike lanes in Toronto, especially from Bloor St. Less cars on the road = less traffic delays and less carbon/gas emissions. Adding more road construction when the city is already overwhelmed with it makes zero sense.

This plan by the current government is one of the dumbest ideas yet. The Ontario government should ONLY in municipal operations/policies when there is the threat of fraud or total mismanagement. This issue does NOT come close to that.

I strongly oppose this legislation. Not only will it do nothing to address traffic congestion in the City of Toronto (https://www.cbc.ca/amp/1.7358319), this is manifestly an issue for the City of Toronto, not the Province, to decide on.

Seems to me removing bike lanes that are already in place would be a huge waste of time and tax dollars, not to mention disruption of traffic during removal. Maybe, just concentrate on future projects, instead of interfering with what’s already in place.
I am very concerned that the removal of bike lanes will endanger the lives of innocent pedestrians. It's generally men who are cyclists, food delivery guys and idiot male e-scooter riders who currently ride on the sidewalks where there are no bike lanes.

Bike lanes save lives. End of story.
Removing bike lanes does not reduce gridlock, the amount of money spent to do so is a smack in the face to tax payers.

I strongly oppose the Ontario government's bill to usurp authority over bike lanes. This is a wholly inappropriate subversion of local democracy,and decisions made by the democratically elected city council.

Please keep current bike lanes and work with communities/municipalities for all proposed and future ones. These bike lanes are crucial to keep traffic flowing and provide a number of benefits, such as:

I do not think provincial oversight and what is basically retroactive veto power over bike lane initiatives in the City of Toronto is appropriate.

We need as many bike lanes as possible in this city, to keep all cyclists SAFE, including our CHILDREN and families who want to travel the city with minimal environmental impact!!!! More traffic lanes just encourages more traffic!
I am strongly against this bill 212.
Bike lanes are important for the environment, promoting the use of bicycles instead of cars.
Global warming is happening and allowing more cars to drive in a city is not a solution.

The bike lanes under question are frequently used by myself to commute to work (high-park area to downtown), and to travel throughout the city. They have been an huge benefit to myself and the thousands of new cyclists that use them.

Your proposal stinks for two reasons: 1) it is an uncalled-for interference in local affairs and local democracy; and 2) it's basic premise is not based in fact or evidence.
