What kind of roads would you want your grandkids to bike on?
I grew up in small town Ontario where biking as a child was fun. Adults seldom ride but for the odd hardcore health buff.

As a resident of Ontario, I am appalled by the clear overreach of Bill 212. Municipalities know their streets best and should be in charge of how they’re designed and used.

Overall pros are outweighed by the cons. It is incredibly backwards to make cycling, a more accessible, greener alternative mode of transportation, harder and more dangerous to try to ease congestion in the city.

To the Ford government,
Stop what you're doing! You are destroying our city and province.
You do not keep your promises.
You seem hellbent on fulfilling favours for your friends instead of doing your job.

To pass Bill 212 would be to legislate the same unethical and development-driven goals seen in the sitting government's attempt to destroy the Greenbelt. The "Progressive" Conservative party touts this act as the solution to Toronto's bronze metal in the worlds most gridlocked cities.

What a shame that the leaders of our province want to regress our growth in this way. The only true way to reduce traffic and grid lock is to have LESS cars on the road. We should be working TOWARD better infrastructure for cyclists, pedestrians and public transportation.
I am completely appalled and dismayed at this completely backwards and dangerous proposal. Evidence clearly states that encouraging people to use alternatives to cars for transportation, makes car transportation more efficient by removing cars from the road.

As a driver and a cyclist living very close to Bloor, the bike lanes have added enormously to the safety and quality of life in the area. The data backs this up. Rather than wasting more taxpayer money in removing the James, the money should be spent upgrading subway service in line 2.
I’m strongly opposed to reducing the bike lanes. As a senior I’m a frequent user and am gradually seeing others, who were to afraid to cycle in the past, to get on their bikes more to get around the city.
Reducing the bike lanes is as stupid as buck a beer, sounds good but doesn’t work!

Hello! So I am dead set against this proposal. It makes no sense… by taking people off their bikes ultimately means there will be more traffic. Or more cycling deaths - you choose.

I do not support this government proposal. It will result in an increase in traffic as bikes will continue to travel using these major roads, but within the car lanes. It will increase the amount of bike accidents and deaths.

I strongly oppose bill 212.
The words “safety” and “health” do not appear anywhere in the bike lane sections of Bill 212, and the only consideration to approve or remove bike lanes would be “the orderly movement of motor vehicle traffic”.

As a driver and occasional cyclist, I think the removal of bike lanes is a step in the wrong direction. Each person on a bike is one fewer car on the road.

There are many arguments against Bill 212 (more car lanes don't reduce gridlock long-term, active transportation is good for public health, cycle infrastructure being a component of Vision Zero, etc). But, I'd like to focus on one facet of this.

There are so many reasons to keep building bike lanes and this bill absolutely should not be put through!
1. Reduction of traffic: especially with people and public service returning to work, traffic is getting out of hand. More people commuting by bike to work means less traffic!

This Bill will kill cyclists. It won’t help traffic or drivers either as cyclists will still remain on the road, but less safely for both cyclists and motorists, as motorists will have more difficulty maintaining the legally required 1m distance between them and cyclists.
