This is truly a terrible idea. Why would you waste our money removing bike lanes that are so widely used? They keep people safe! This move won’t solve congestion in this city cause guess what? Bikes aren’t the problem. Read more

I am a healthcare worker who bikes to work using bike lanes on University Ave. every day. Thousands like me bike through the lanes listed for removal and we all depend on them to be safe. Read more

This proposal is a huge step backwards for our city, from both an economic and an environmental perspective. We need to move forward, not backwards, on increasing accessibility for cyclists.

I commute across the city in my car for work daily and need to drive around quite a bit for work. I think this bill is riduliculous. The traffic is caused by way WAY too many cars on the road and NOT the bike lanes. It is absurd to blame car congestion on cycling infrastructure. Read more

Removing bike lanes is a huge step backwards. As other large cities in countries around the world successfully work toward creating walkable and bike safe communities with good transit, the out of touch Government of Ontario is heading into the dark ages with its car centric mentality. Read more

What an incredible waste of money. The motivation for this is unclear since gridlock is not being caused by bike lanes (as several studies have stated). The money allocated for this could be much better spent on public transit.

Bill 212 will not solve congestion and will put lives at risk. It will be a large waste of money to take out these bike lanes. Fewer cars on the road and more bikes and mass transit is key to the future to combat climate change.

As a resident of a rural area and a regular driver, I strongly oppose Bill 212. Bike lanes are essential for the safety of both cyclists and drivers. They help reduce accidents, promote active transportation, and encourage healthier, more sustainable communities. Read more

I strongly oppose the proposed amendment to Bill 212 that will give the Province oversight over the installation of bike lanes in municipalities and the authority to remove bike lanes installed in Toronto. Read more

For the love of god, please don’t further destroy our city. We have a traffic problem. Having bike lanes makes people more likely to bike and not be in cars. Why would we remove them and create further construction, more traffic, and add to future traffic. Read more

I am deeply concerned about this proposal. Requiring provincial authority takes away municipal powers and it's the municipality that knows the each city's needs the best. The proposal will decrease cyclist safety as well as that of pedestrians and vulnerable people. Read more

These lanes are necessary for the safety of cyclists and represent an acknowledgement that we should not prioritise single occupant vehicles over all other modes of transportation. The thought of undoing this progress seems ridiculously backward.

I oppose this legislation because it ignores the safety of road users and it is not based on facts and data. Gridlock is extremely frustrating but this proposal will not help. The gridlock on the 401, Gardiner, DVP is much worse than on city streets and yet there are no bike lanes there. Read more

I strongly oppose the proposed bill to remove bike lanes that take up a full lane of traffic. Bike lanes are not just a convenience; they are a critical component of creating safe, inclusive, and forward-thinking urban infrastructure. Read more
