How much is this going to cost ? Who is going to pay for this ? I live in Nepean and refuse to pay to rip out a bike lane in Toronto that my son and grandchildren use. I will be stopping all voting, support and donations to Lisa and her successor if this goes along. What a waste of money!

Bill 212 would be a major step backword for Toronto, and by extension, Ontario. We already know that less safe options for cyclists means more cars on the road, and more lanes doesn't solve conjestion. The only way to do that is to get cars off the road.

Toronto's bike lanes are vital for safer, greener, and more accessible streets. Protecting them supports active transportation, reduces traffic congestion, and promotes cleaner air for everyone. Let’s stand together to preserve and expand bike lanes for a healthier, more sustainable city!
This is so wrong. Bike lanes save lives and make it so much better and safer for commuters to get to work. Also promotes a green environmentally friendly way to get to work. Removing the lanes would be wrong and detrimental.
This seem counterproductive and unfair. Instead of destroying a improvement to the city, the provincial government should invest on educating and stimulating people to use bikes as transportation.

As a University of Toronto student that utilizes the University ave. and Bloor st. bike lanes as a means to and from school, I am against this bill and the removal of bike lanes.

As an Ontario taxpayer, I find it to be a huge overstep by the provincial government to try to mandate bike lanes in Toronto. This should be a municipal matter.

This is nonsensical! Cyclists are much less responsible for traffic than cars. We also have a responsibility to ensure that people can bike safely wherever they are, and this requires separate and protective bike lanes, as cars are amongst the biggest threats to cyclists.

I am concerned about the public health implications of this proposed plan. As a family physician practicing in downtown Toronto I counsel Torontonians every day on the need to engage in physical activity to maintain health.

I grew up riding my bike in Toronto. I went to school across from castle Frank station. So many students like myself rely on the Bloor bike lane to get to early morning rehearsals on time before the subways run. Biking to school or work is also more reliable than taking the subway most days.

This legislation has come about because of Kingsway and Queensway car drivers upset about bloor and Royal York. You are well overstepping the overstating the impact on the whole city. Bike lanes need a safe network not just in limited areas.

I live close to Bloor Street West and see the use of the bike lanes on a daily basis in my neighborhood. Everyday I see people using them, and I also use them. As a biker and as a pedestrian I feel safer.

This is a nonsense plan that will waste taxpayers dollars and put cyclists at a much greater risk of injury or death. The Bloor bike lane in particular is VERY heavily used by commuters and has become a vital transit artery.

I have lived in the Lttle Italy neighbourhood of Toronto since I went to U of T in 1982. At that time I cycled to school and work. It was treacherous and I suffered am injury when I fell off my bike avoiding being hit by a left turning car on Bloor Street.

The idea that the Provincial Gov needs to be so involved in municipal issues is ridiculous.
This isn't about making traffic better. This is micromanaging control.

Cities are indeed "creatures of the province," so the government of Ontario has the *right* to intervene in Toronto. But *rights* presume the discretion about when & where to use those rights.

I know you don't care about any of these comments but I hope you know that ever death causes by this overreach of the province is personally your choice.

Bike lanes aren’t just for cyclists, they’re for everyone. Removing them is a huge step backwards in a city that already has so far to catch up in regards to transportation
