The Province should not overstep on municipal democracy. City Councillors and the public have advocated for these bike lanes. Bill 212 is so focused on moving drivers, but it seems it is at the cost of the lives of pedestrians, cyclists, and even drivers. Read more

I urge all members of the Ontario Legislature to vote against this legislation. Bill 212 is an infringement on municipal jurisdiction. Ontario cities and towns are best equipped to deal with bicycle lanes in their communities. Read more

Please consider not removing the bike lanes in Toronto. Not only do they provide an efficient and SAFE way for use to travel across the city, but the costs to remove them are a waste of money. Read more

Removing bike lanes is dangerous, short-sighted, and a waste of taxpayers' money. The lanes are constantly being used by commuters and for leisure. We are making progress towards safer, more sustainable roads and cannot go backwards!

This is truly shameful legislation. The fact that the province has chosen to spend taxes on such a regressive waste-of-time is maddening. I drive and cycle in the City - as a driver I feel unsafe driving around cyclists when there is no lane. Read more

Bike lanes are a great way to reduce congestion. Not to mention encourage healthy behaviour. Having heard first hand accounts of Doug Ford’s corruption I have no doubt our dishonest Premier is only attempting to remove bike lanes to enrich himself and his friends. Shame on him. Read more

this bill is misguided and will not help traffic in toronto! Bike lanes make the streets safer and more accessible for alternative transportation which is important for traffic issues. Read more

I can’t drive due to certain health conditions. You are forcing me to put my life at risk for what? What purpose does this serve? I don’t want to be on the road, drivers don’t want me there Why? This is just ridiculous. Expand bike lanes, don’t remove them.

Data shows that bike lanes reduce gridlock and increase road safety. Removing popular bike lanes in Toronto will directly lead to loss of life and do nothing for congestion. This politically motivated policy is dangerous and shameful. Read more

Taking a municipal issue like bike lanes and making it a provincial issue is ridiculous. Cities conduct their own studies to implement safe bike lanes to increase non-car travel and improve road safety for everyone. Read more

I am cyclist in downtown Toronto. I use a multitude of cycle lanes including Simcoe, University, Bloor, Yonge. The removal of lanes or decrease in creating lanes will create even more traffic problems in the downtown area. Read more

Please do not pass this bill. Countless studies have proven that increased vehicle lanes do NOT decrease congestion on roads. We need to provide safe and effective alternatives to personal vehicles if we aim to reduce traffic and improve quality of life. Read more

Shame on you! This proposal is not aligned with the working class people who live and work in the city. Many Torontonians cannot afford a car or choose to bike because it is healthy and efficient, and this proposal actively endangers those lives. Read more
