bike lanes are essential should not be removed. We don’t want a city that is car dependent. People that want the bike lanes don’t live in the areas that helps those communities. Most of the people that want them removed are people from the GTA that drive down to the downtown core.

The health and safety concerns, obvious cost, and clear demonstration of short term thinking have not swayed Ford from this terrible plan. If none of the common sense, good urban design arguments will change his mind, or that of his constituents, maybe the financial will. Read more

I disagree completely with the rash decision to intrude in municipal affairs through removing non-motorized vehicle lanes and by amending legislation to block city council's ability to pursue transit solutions that work for their respective cities. Read more

I am extremely opposed to this bill as it is a severe over reach of the provincial government into what should be municipal decisions on bike lanes and moreover the removal of the ability to extend the timeline for a resident to have to move out for a highway project is heinous. Read more

This proposal will not only fail to achieve traffic improvements, but it will put bikers lives at risk, push more people to use cars and we all know how that makes it worse for everyone. Efforts to reduce traffic should move people towards using bikes and public transit, not away from it!

Strongly disagree with the logic behind this proposed change. It is the job of roads to move people. More people, by headcount, move along these stretches by bike than by car. The province's proposal takes our city back 15+ years, in relation to the world-class cities around the world. Read more

As someone who frequently commutes into downtown with a car and is aware of the traffic issues, removing bike lanes is the complete opposite of a 'fix' the bill claims to do. Read more

I strongly oppose Bill 212 as proposed, as the removal of bike lanes in the city of Toronto and requiring municipalities to justify maintaining existing bike lanes will have the opposite effect the Ministry of Transportation (the Ministry) is trying to achieve. Read more

The approach to local problems should be left with the local decision makers. This type of government overreach and "Daddy knows best" attitude makes us wonder why we even need a municipal government. Of course, the answer is to make decisions for our municipality. Read more

The province needs to stay out of issues that are the responsibility of municipalities. Local politicians who actually live in and understand the issues and their communities are better placed to make such decisions. Read more

B212 is an abysmal proposition for many reasons. The "bike lane bill" is a distraction for the many terrible things listed in this proposal that will take away people rights, property, and won't actually solve the problem of traffic. Read more
