This bill is not only about bike lanes and safety for vulnerable road users. This is outrageous overreach into local democracy for all 444 municipalities on Ontario.
As a person who cannot afford a car, and who cannot rely on the underfunded TTC to reliably get me where I need to go on time, I rely on the safety of bike lanes to get me around the City of Toronto.

Since Ford’s brother put in the bike lanes, isn’t it ridiculous to spend 48 million to tear them out? It’s a government overreach and short sighted. Invest that 48 million in transit instead, and toll highways. Everywhere else in the world does it.

I support bike lanes.
I strenuously object to my tax dollars being used to rip up existing bike lanes.
This issue will affect how I vote in the future, both at municipal and provincial levels.
Bike lanes are not just bike lanes- they are infrastructure to support accessibility. They enable people to use a variety of human-sized vehicles, mobility scooters, e-kick scooters, and bicycles, of people of all ages, abilities and incomes, to get to where they need to go.

Bike lanes SAVES lives. It is proven and there's evidence for this. This alone should be enough to keep bike lanes. There needs to be public education for DRIVERS to obey all traffic laws that are created to protect EVERYONE.

I strongly object to the removal of bike lanes in the City of Toronto. I use them everyday, especially the lane on Bloor/Danforth. There are frequently large number of cyclists on the route.

This project goes against trying to reduce traffic. It also goes against climate change initiatives. It goes against encouraging people to be more active. It goes against the safety of cyclists, pedestrians and drivers.

As a university student living in the Rosedale neighbourhood, I use bike lanes daily for getting to and from U of T, to work and to see my friends and family across the city.

Please do not remove bike lanes!! I purposely navigate the streets of Toronto trying to only ride on secure bike lanes. They are the safest streets for bikers.

Point 1
It is extremely frustrating to effectively have two mayors. I suggest that the government stay in its own lane as there are many other problems that they are better suited to solving.
Point 2

Firstly - the bike lanes on Bloor are the best thing that this city has done in decades. It keeps cyclists safe and prevents cyclist deaths and disfiguring accidents.

This is maybe the worst waste of public resources I can possibly imagine, besides maybe paying off the LCBO contract so we can expedite getting alcohol into gas stations. $48 million. Plus $27 million sunk costs. The conservatives should be sanctioned for this.

As a resident of the city who frequently commutes on Bloor street and Yonge street, the bike lanes that recently have been installed actively improve my life. I have two small children under the age of 4, both of whom are starting to ride bikes and come with me on my bike or in our kiddie trailer.

Waste of time and money across the board, with all the attention being given to the bike lanes despite the utter garbage in the rest of the bill as well.
If this bill will be passed gridlock will be worse, because everyone should want bike lanes even car enthusiasts, because they can take away cars from the road, reducing the gridlock.
Ontario Bill 212 is bad for the environment, cities, cyclists, drivers, and government accountability.
The bill attempts to exempt itself from the Environmental Assessment Act — a bad idea.
The bill attempts to overrule the decisions of cities — a bad idea.

I do not support this bill. This bill is dangerous and will result in more deaths and injuries to cyclists. I commute to work every day on University ave bike lane and have noticed an increase in road safety since the University lane was installed.
