The removal of bike lane infrastructure is simply unacceptable. Bike lane infrastructure saves lives, creates efficiencies for local commuters, and prevents bikes from blocking vehicle traffic during rush periods.
I think this is a great idea. Removing congestion in downtown will promote cycling and move toronto towards being a more walkable and bike friendly city. It will shift attitude about urban transportation.

I am not in favour of this bill as proposed. It is unfounded in research that bike lanes cause congestion. A report authored by WSP found that bicycle lanes reduce travel time on average more than they contribute to it.

If you take the lanes out, I am not going to disappear. I will still be there. It's faster for me to ride my bike to work.
You know who won't be going anywhere fast?
You. I will seize the lane. I will be in front of you. I will stop at every stop. I will ruin your day, every day.

It is clear to anyone who takes any time to look at peer reviewed studies that we need to move away from a car centric community to one that moves as many people as possibly in the most efficient way. We need MORE dedicated and protected bike lanes. We need MORE dedicated bus/streetcar lanes.

I'm a Torontonian and I'm tired of the province micromanaging all of our affairs, especially when there are so many bigger fish for the province to fry. We have so much red tape for any kind of changes already, and this is adding more.

All over the world, bike infrastructure has been recognized as a major factor in resolving urban traffic collapse; it is also better for the environment and for public health.

Where is the evidence to suggest that this will help?
Case studies around the world have shown that bike lanes not only reduce congestion, but also have the wonderful side effect of providing a boost to local businesses.

The Ford government is overstepping and pandering to his voters, rather than making an informed, fair decision to benefit all Ontarians, specifically the millions who live in Toronto. Studies show that increasing roadway for cars only increases traffic, rather than help limit it.

Bike lanes are incredibly important in the city of Toronto. As a driver and not a biker, it’s important to keep our bikers safe. Them having their own lane keeps them out of ours, we as drivers will not be liable, forbid something happen.

This legislation should not be accepted. Local transportation planning should be in the hands of the Towns and Municipalities who were voted into position by local residents.

Proposed Bill 212 is not only detrimental to cyclist safety, it also impacts the safety of pedestrians (buffer zones) and motorists (traffic calming), equity, transportation affordability, community health/wellbeing, congestion, and the economy.

This represents an egregious overstep by the provincial government and is a poor use of taxpayer dollars. Municipalities are the experts on their own needs, and it creates unnecessary red tape to involve the provincial government.

Since you are so fond of wasting taxpayers money, and we know you don’t understand evidence based research, I have a suggestion you might like. Take a vacation to Valencia, Spain.

I am in favour of keeping the implemented bike lanes in Toronto. I am in favour of encouraging all forms of public transportation and prioritising those over motor vehicle traffic so that more people get to where they need to go faster.

What are you doing? All the evidence says that bike lanes remove congestion. This makes no sense. All of these streets were busy before the bike lanes, and people on bikes means fewer cars on the roads. Premier Ford has said this is a "popular" move, but has provided no evidence to support that.
