Bike lanes are a municipal issue, not the province's business. People can participate in their local government to change bike lane policies. It is a gross overreach for the province to choose whose transportation abilities are prioritized, uniformly across Ontario. Read more

1. Province should not decide what the municipalities do to handle local traffic. You already get your say on highways, which does NOT have bike lanes and yet still rated the worst congested road in the world. Read more

I am a concerned citizen of the city of Toronto. Bike lane infrastructure is vital to the community and economic activity across the city. Biking provides positive health benefits for all participants, which has both immediate and long term action for population health. Read more

I believe that the true problem lies in a lack of reliable and well marketed public transit, people would not be so dependant on cars and streets would not be so full if the TTC ran reliably and quickly. Read more

As a working parent I commute daily using bike lanes - this will absolutely destroy my ability to get to work in a safe and timely manner. All I want is to be able to get home safely to my family, but removing bike lanes will greatly jeopardize this. Read more

I am writing to express my concern that the aspects of Bill 212 related to bike lanes go against the parts of Ministry of Transportation's Statement of Environmental Values related to active transportation and climate change. Read more

Ontario is way behind other world class municipalities in adopting bike lanes. Climate change is real, it is destructive and it is costly to tax payers who are your voters. Read more

Bike Lanes are crucial for the city of Toronto. Not only for safety but also for ease of access for everybody. The amount of money it's going to cost to move bike lanes is absolutely not worth it. We need to be adding more bike lanes, not destroying what we've already built.

I am strongly unsupportive of removing the bike lanes noted in this absurd Bill. I live and work along these bike corridors. Until the bike lanes were installed, I used transit to commute. Read more

I am both a driver and a cyclist in Toronto’s west end. I use the Bloor bike lanes every single day to commute to work and to places where I shop. It’s how I’m able to both earn and spend money in the city. Read more

Please reconsider this proposal. This is a major step backwards just when the cycling infrastructure is starting to take shape and finally allow meaningful travel. Read more
