This proposal will make the city of TO less safe. Bike lanes are essential - especially with the rising cost of living, more folks need to use these lanes. We need more bike lanes - not less!
As a long time supporter of the PC, I can say this is right up there with one of the most ridiculous ideas. You should be promoting other methods of travel rather than looking at gasers as the main focus. Focus on public transit and think outside of the box.

Bike lanes make our city better. Although they may at times slow traffic, their benefits far outweigh this potential drawback, including protecting vulnerable road users’ lives, reducing emissions, improving health, and promoting local shopping and community engagement.

As a cyclist and parent of two children in Toronto, I’ve seen firsthand how vital our municipal bike lanes are for the safety and well-being of cyclists, pedestrians, and even drivers.

The city is made up of thousands of people who can’t or choose not to drive. For many, biking is their only choice of getting around - it’s cheap and efficient, and owning a car comes with huge costs. In many cases, biking is faster and more reliable than the ttc.

I use these bike lanes at least once a week, and this year will be biking until December it seems. I can’t drive and they are the safest way for me to travel. I’m embarrassed that the city and province are considering removing them, it’s a move that makes no sense to me.

So I have issues with the following aspects of this bill 212:
Section 1 and 2. The ability for the province to Just take someone's property and the owner cannot apply for an extension "its OUR land now get the F out" - Ford gov't.

1. The bike lane on Bloor Street is an important laneway and path for cyclists. Many people, use it everyday to get to work to commute downtown for work.

Dear cyclists,
A challenge for you.
But first, a confession.
I'm giving up the bike. After two decades of commuting on two wheels, I've determined it's time to exercise my prerogative as an Ontarian.
I'm getting a car.
Now, before you flip me off for changing lanes, hear me out.

I am an Ontario voter who is completely against Bill 212. It is an overreach of government powers, a waste of money, detrimental to commuter safety, and bypasses environmental assessments for highway projects. I object to the content of this bill and urge representatives to vote against it.
As a Toronto resident, I was shocked to hear of the provincial government making a move to remove bike lanes in the city of Toronto.
1. For one, Bloor has been blocked for ages to construct the bike land. And it is getting so close to being done.

Please do not go through with this legislation. I live in Ottawa and cannot comment on the specific situation on Bloor Street, but I firmly believe that one instance cannot be allowed to dictate the needs of the rest of the Province.

The province is utterly misguided in its attempt to take control of the addition/removal process of bike lanes in the city of Toronto. As a person who regularly commutes by bicycle in the city, I depend on streets with bike lanes to make sure I can get to my destination safely.
