If passed, Bill 212 will cost millions of tax dollars and result in no appreciably reduction in gridlock.
This government is willingly ignoring the principle of induced demand as "adding" more lanes has been proven to increase car traffic accordingly.

Bike lanes keep cyclists safe and encourage modes of transportation that are both better for the environment and more affordable. Removing bike lanes will not solve anything but worsen the quality of the city of toronto.
I am very upset as an Ontarian at the provincial government’s overreach to take away municipal jurisdiction and governance. As a tax paying citizen and voter I vehemently object to Bill 212’s grab for power and decision making especially when it comes to bike lanes.

I believe this change is ridiculous and will worsen traffic congestion and cost the city and province millions of tax payer dollars and the added construction is only fuel to the fire
Bike lanes are not the cause of traffic in Toronto. They are an alternative method of transportation that cuts down on the number of people in automobiles and takes the load off of a public transit system that isn’t as effective and robust as other metropolitan counterparts.
Bike lanes are crucial and important to Toronto. I don’t own a car and exclusively commute by bike and public transit. As a taxpayer I don’t want my taxes to be wasted destroying important infrastructure. I urge you to respect municipale democracy and not overreach as a provincial body.

Have there been studies that show removal of bike lanes will decrease traffic? Have any experts in traffic been brought in to recommend anything? Or is this just based off the feeling it will help traffic? Will cars be able to park on the street?

I am a daily commuter by bicycle, and work near bloor and avenue. The bike lanes have made such a significant improvement in safety and in my commute as well as others. The city during rush hour looks like Amsterdam with all the bikers commuting!!

I do NOT support the removal of bike lanes for the following reasons:
- My family uses those bike lanes.
- Every dollar of infrastructure invested in bike lanes saves $2 in annual healthcare costs.

Please leave our bike lanes in place. Like other world-class cities, we should be building more of them, not taking them out! Since Toronto's bike lanes were installed, our streets have felt safer for both pedestrians and cyclists, the most vulnerable road users.

As a resident of Toronto, I strongly disagree with the changes to Bike Lanes proposed in Bill 212. As both a cyclist and a driver in the city, bike lanes are essential to increasing safety for all road users.

Absolutely insane that the government is considering removing bike lanes when taxpayer money was spent installing all of them very recently. What a mismanagement of taxpayer money.

Bike lanes are essential to minimizing traffic and pedestrian safety. It is more proactive to spend this amount of money on investing public transit or other alternative methods of transportation. Taking away bikes lanes will not solve any traffic issues.

This amendment, if it passes, will be one of the greatest tragedies in the history of transportation in Ontario. It is a regressive measure that does nothing to combat traffic in the city of Toronto and is a blatant overreach from the province to the municipal level.
