It is a ridiculous overreach of the provincial government to try and control where cities decide to install bike lanes, bike lanes make Toronto work better, reduce carbon emissions, and benefit thousands of tax paying Torontonians every day. Do not proceed with this foolish legislation. Read more

As a Toronto citizen who drives, bikes, walks, and takes public transit, I think the removal of bike lanes as a solution to Toronto traffic is dangerous nonsense. Having recently been to Berlin, I have experienced a city not dedicated to the car. What a wonderful experience. Read more

I am a single mother, and a cyclist. I have been biking in Toronto all my adult life. For long years, I wished our city would have a safer system for cycling - something closer to what they have in Montreal, for example. Even parts of New York City feel safer than here. Read more

I fully support the Province getting involved and removing and controlling the installation of new bike lanes because Toronto Council has demonstrated they are not capable of logical decision making. They host community consult meetings but ignore the feedback they are given. Read more

No to 212. The Ford government needs to start serving their constituents appropriately, and possibly join us here in the 21st century. Environmental assessments are a critical necessity and part of a healthy 21st century society. Bike lanes can also be placed in that category. Read more

I’m strongly opposed to removal of bike lanes. This seems to unnecessarily put people on bicycles at higher risk of injury. Protected lanes save lives. I would be more likely to become a driver contributing to gridlock if there were fewer bike lanes to help me reach my destinations by bike. Read more

There are many cyclists in my neighbourhood, winding around parked cars, taking risks and worrying me, as a driver. I am elderly and no longer bike, but I have observed its popularity in Europe and here. Please, lets keep cyclists safe - good for the traffic chaos and good for the environment. Read more

I strongly disagree with Bill 212 because the province would disable municipal authority for new bike lanes and for existing ones which have already replaced traffic lanes. Read more

This is not a good idea. It refuses to appeal to data and research, or the urban planning of great livable cities, in order to garner votes from a base that refuses to shift habits. Congestion is bad in the city - because the city has catered to cars and there are just too many people driving. Read more

Hello, Bill 212 introduces needless red tape and bureaucracy and is misguided in its approach to its stated goals. Further, it increases the likelihood of accidents. Read more

Removing bike lanes is a terrible and irresponsible idea that caters to those who live outside Toronto without considering the people who actually live in the city. Read more

Please do not remove the bike lanes. They have been an important step in releasing Toronto from the chokehold of car centric infrastructure. The solution is not to make more lanes for cars, it is to make more public transit. Read more

My family regularly uses the urban bike lanes. We live in Bloor West Village and with the bike lanes on Bloor and University we can cycle all the way downtown. Without the bike lanes we would not attempt such a dangerous trip. Please do not remove the bike lanes!
