It seems wildly counter productive to remove a piece of infrastructure that is working as intended and makes the city safer for non-vehicle commuters. This bill doesn't seem to consider the residents within the downtown core who naturally use the main streets to cycle between destinations. Read more

As the Ontario Society of Professional Engineers and many others have agreed, getting rid of bike lanes will not reduce traffic/gridlock but will actively make it worse. Read more

I am a lifelong Toronto resident, and I typically travel through the city by car, on foot or transit. Bloor Street, where fully separated bike lanes were recently installed, is a street I drive on quite frequently. I am writing oppose Bill 212. Read more

This bill is anti-democratic, intrusive over-reach by a provincial government that is out of step with citizens, and seems to be targeting Toronto specifically for inappropriate and unwanted micro-management. Read more

The bike lane infrastructure through the dense downtown core of Toronto is critical to my ability to afford to live and work and contribute to the City and Province, and enables me to aspire to financial stability in my lifestyle. Read more

The removal of the bike lanes will be extremely costly to tax payers and will do very little to relieve congestion in the downtown core. Bike lanes prevent accidents between cyclists and motorists and create safe avenues of travel through the city for those who do not own cars. Read more

Bike lanes are necessary. They keep cyclists safe, they keep cars in their own lanes with less fear of hitting someone they don't see, and prevents cars from sneaking into other lanes to go around them. If bikes are not in a bike lane, they're on the street. Read more

I am a year-round cyclist in Ottawa, Ontario. Bike lanes help me get around safely and keep cars off the road. I am opposed to this bill as bike lanes are essential to keeping traffic moving by encouraging more people to use alternative methods of transportation. Please reconsider this bill.

The problem is not the bike lanes, but rather the constant construction blocking multiple lanes on key streets. Construction on bay and Yonge streets and on the gardiner itself is causing the traffic. There are no bike lanes on bay and minimal on Yonge. Read more

I fully believe the removal of the bike lanes afformentioned will reduce the safety and cause congestion of the bikers here in Toronto. This bill will cost a lot of money while causing many more bike accidents and will not improve the flow of traffic. I am against this bill.

I am a constituent and daily car driver in Scarborough Centre and I strongly oppose the Ontario government's Bill 212 to remove existing bike lanes and obstruct future bike lane construction. Read more

We need bike lanes, With how aggressive traffic can be especially in Toronto, bike lanes help reduce the number of traffic we see in the already busy streets of Toronto and ensure the safety of cyclists as well as drivers and pedestrians.

Bikes are not the cause of traffic. The City’s poor infrastructure is. We need more public transit (subway lines) across main arteries and better and more highway planning in the City. Do not remove the bike lanes and waste our tax dollars on this. It cost so much to build them. Read more

There is much to be said about this proposal and how it will impact our future in Ontario. It's obvious that we are suffering from gridlock. I absolutely HATE to be stuck in highway traffic when getting in our out of our city. And for sure we need to find a way out of this mess. BUT Read more

I do not support the removal of bike lanes that all ready exist in the City of Toronto. Why spend double the money to remove infrastructure that is already in place? The proposal feels like a knee-jerk reaction and not a long term solution.
