Bike lanes protect the vulnerable they do not cause the problem of congestion in our city. Everyday I waste hours on the 401 and there are no bike lanes causing those major slow downs

I'm sorry, in what world is spending an estimated $48 million in additional costs to provincial taxpayers for the removal of bike lanes on major Toronto streets a smart idea? We're just pissing money away.

I’m an Etobicoke resident down at Islington and Lakeshore (M8V3A7).

The future of cities is without cars if you look to Europe and metropolitan cities in the U.S. We must act for the future not for the past. Building infrastructure that moves people without cars improves city liveability, reduces congestion, pollution and improves connectivity.

As a resident of Toronto and a student of urbanism, I urge you to reconsider the provisions in Bill 212 that may lead to the removal of bike lanes in our city.

I am strongly opposed to Bill 212. We need more bike lanes, not fewer. More roads equals more congestion not less. The provincial government needs to be more concerned about people's health and safety. We need to continue to improve public transit.

This proposed legislation will not save me any time as a taxpayer in Ontario. My family does not own a car: we commute to work, take our kid to daycare, do groceries, run errands, go to appointments - all by bike or as pedestrians.

As a resident of the Province of Ontario and the City of Toronto, I strongly oppose the proposed framework for bike lanes and the removal of existing bike lanes in Toronto. These policies run counter to evidence-based best practices for urban mobility and environmental sustainability.

I am deeply concerned about Bill 212 and its potential impact on urban mobility. While I understand the government’s focus on reducing traffic congestion, removing bike lanes undermines efforts to address this.
