We should not be getting rid of bike lanes! As a driver, I am going to be so much more stressed with bikers not having bike lanes. Please reconsider this bill!
Instead of more highways (and expropriating land from rightful owners to build said highways) we instead need more public transportation infrastructure.
Bike lanes are great, but as it stands there isn't enough other infrastructure to properly utilize them.

Sacrificing bike lanes to kind of help with traffic congestion in downtown toronto is not worth it. I have been biking around downtown since I moved here. The reason why I feel comfortable doing it because there are bike lanes that made sure bikers have sufficient space to travel safely.

This legislation is a pathetic attempt for the corrupt Ford administration to bypass environmental laws and line the pockets of wealthy developers and donors via the 413.

This whole bill is backwards and the opposite of being progressive. Bike lanes reduce vehicular traffic on the road and at the same time, protect cyclists and e-scooters. Every time I ride my bike or scooter somewhere that's one less vehicle on the road and less traffic.

Repeal Bill 212. It is a waste of government resources, money and does not reflect the will of the majority of Ontarians.
Bike lanes help facilitate far greater movement of people, and makes traffic safer, more predictable, and faster.

Please just let kids be active, let kids bike to school, yuppies and delivery drivers aren't the only people using these lanes. And, every delivery cyclist will either have to get a car or be out of a job. Mr. Ford, this goes against your values as well as mine, please reconsider.

Bike lanes are very important to this city. A safe place where people can use their bike is essential. The road is not a safe place all the time and can be stressful. We should be encouraging people to ride bikes more and bike lanes do that.
Closing bike lanes is a step backward for Ontario. These lanes provide a safe and eco-friendly transportation option for thousands of residents, reduce traffic congestion, and promote healthier lifestyles.

This is a complete and utter waste of government resources and funds. If you look at any city larger than our Canadian cities the way to reduce car traffic the most is to create a developed network of bike paths that allows users to get to and from high traffic areas without the use of a car.

The plan to remove Bike lanes in Toronto shows a level of ineptitude and idiocy that is ludicrous and shortsighted even by the standards set by the ONPCs (a low bar admittedly to begin with)

Keep the bike lanes! There are other options to avoid being stuck in traffic, for example, biking and taking the TTC! Removing bike lanes won't stop Toronto bikers from biking on that particular street, it will just endanger everyone involved.

We need to look at this as a whole. Private vehicles take up a lot of space in our cities. Unfortunately, trying to solve traffic congestion from only the view of cars will not work.

Bikes are a critical way to get around a community that significantly invested in all of the wrong trains/ contractors to maintain them and are down all the time. Removing bike lanes creates even more traffic due to the fact that everyone needs to drive due to the dire condition of public transit.
As a regular bike commuter in the province, I strongly disagree with this proposal to allow the Government to remove bike lanes as they so choose.

Do NOT remove any bike lanes! We should be adding more bike lanes and encourage Ontarians to seek out alternative method of transportation beyond driving and polluting our environment.
