I live and work in Hamilton Ontario, I choose to bike to work. I work on site (McMaster University) three times a week and by biking, I remove a vehicle from the road and leave a parking space for someone who needs it more.

"Saving You Time", possibly a few minutes, but at the incredibly expensive waste of $48 million, not to mention the new de-construction road closures on those streets and the environmental waste in removal of these bike lanes.

I'm not a fan of this bill. I much prefer prioritizing bikes than cars and don't think the provincial government should be getting involving in municipal bike lanes.
Vehicular congestion is absolutely everywhere including (and especially) where there are more cars and no bike lanes. Bicycle lanes don’t cause the congestion. Politicians just need a target.

Bike lanes save lives. Why waste tax payer dollars that already went to putting in the bike lane just to spend more of our money ripping it out for no good reason???

The claim that bike lanes lead to gridlock is absolute nonsense.
Please solve actual problems or get out of the way of local governments that are trying to.
The folks behind this charade ought to be ashamed of themselves.
I reject the removal of bicycle lanes. They are already there. They do not slow vehicular traffic to the levels that people would like us to believe. It is a use of money that might be better put elsewhere. It is a heavy-handed interference with the municipal government.

I’m a resident of Toronto. I have a baby daughter and I wish for her to have a city that is safe and easy to bike through when she grows up. Biking will help her stay healthy, go to places on her own and be independent. Isn’t that what we should for in our cities?

I do not support Bill 212. It will not reduce gridlock or traffic congestion. It offloads the safety risks to cyclists and other active transportation users. Bill 212 stigmatizes, and it discriminates against people who choose these modes of transportation.

Removing bike lanes will but cyclists at risk, reduce initiative to cycle rather than drive and over all negatively effect citizens healthy living, environment, and put more cars on the road
Hello premier Ford, I am writing to express my displeasure in your proposed Bill 212. Bike lines are proven to be a healthy way to move around cities and we need more emphasis on active transportation, though I understand the argument for some streets needing greater access to emergency vehicles.

Your government claims that it:
"Recognizes the need to build priority highways faster as our province grows in order to get people and goods out of gridlock and save drivers and businesses time and money."

I am both a driver and a cyclist. I feel much safer on my bike when I am either on a side-street or on a bike lane if I am on a busy street. I am so grateful for the Bloor Street bike lane, and all bike lanes the city has installed.

I'm strongly against this bill. There's overwhelming data to show that bike lanes (or alternative transportation methods in general) alleviate traffic stress. The other aspects of this bill are very troubling too.

I am strongly opposed to this bill as a cyclist and as a driver. Research has made it pretty clear that too many cars cause congestion and providing safe alternatives like bike lanes and public transit will help reduce the number of cars now clogging our streets.

The proposal to remove bike lanes on Yonge Street and University Avenue is a regressive step that undermines Toronto’s progress toward a more equitable, sustainable, and accessible urban environment.
