hamilton mountain resident, so stupid. getting rid of cyclist lanes will only create more traffic. now that bike is going to in front of me on a lane i can't pass instead of them being in their own lane. really backwards thinking from this government
Why is broadband lumped in with traffic and highway measures? It should be its own separate thing or lump it in with a bill to break up monopolies like Rogers, Bell and Telus.

Providing alternative, efficient and safe ways for people to commute is a the most effective method of reducing congestion. Removing quality infrastructure that keeps bikes and cars separated is the opposite of this.

Bike lanes are a vital part of ensuring quick and easy transportation throughout metropolitan areas. Please focus on improving public transportation to reduce the number of cars instead of removing a vital and successful method of transportation.

Please keep the bike lanes in Toronto! They make the roads safer for everyone and encourage more bikers, which reduces car traffic and is more environmentally sustainable. The future is more biking! Please don’t take a step backwards.
This is a terrible piece of legislation and it will set Ontario back decades. More people using active transit means less cars on the roads, lessening congestion for the cars and vehicles that need to be there. Without bike lanes less people people feel safe biking on our roads.

The province being able to control the bike infrastructure of a municipal city is quite simply illogical. Bike lanes serve many purposes which includes preventing deaths and to ease congestion by promoting better alternatives to transportation without having to rely on motor vehicles.

Undemocratic and murderous bill that will cost lives in Ontario. No level of government should influence other levels of government with impunity to this degree. Complete lack of respect for democracy and human life. Shameful is an understatement.
Really disappointed at the potential removal of bike lanes. Bike lanes make our cities more accessible for people who do not have access to a vehicle or wish to lower their environmental impact.

I am writing to express my strong opposition to Bill 212, which proposes a framework for bike lanes that require the removal of existing traffic lanes.

If the goal is to have less traffic on the streets of Toronto shouldn’t the solution be to provide more access to alternate methods of transportation, such as bike lanes?

I rely on the Bloor and University bike lanes to get to work every day.
Removing them would make getting to work more dangerous, more time consuming, and harder.
Restricting bike lanes is the opposite of what we should be doing to reduce grid lock and traffic jams. More people on bikes greatly reduces traffic, and we should be encouraging and enabling bicycle traffic whenever we can.

This bill is a terrible idea and must be stopped!!
First off, I know this is pandering for the 905 as you try and see what sticks before forcing an election...

We don't need more highways - we need more bike lanes. The data on induced demand is overwhelming and funneling more cars into a cramped downtown isn't the answer. Every person on a bike is a person not in a car.

This is not a provincial matter and needs to remain as a municipal decision. I live in hamilton and work in Burlington 4 day a week. I commute by bicycle between these cities because of the safety the bike infrastructure allows.

This is the complete opposite of small government.
This is an absurd abuse of red tape. And for what?
Your party is in charge of the province, voted in by everyone outside of Toronto. Why then are you using all of your political energy to remove BIKE LANES in Toronto of all things.

The building around cars and sprawl is not in the best interests of the Province. Enhanced public transit - even in smaller communities, think trains and buses, and MORE bike lanes would be a far better option. A bus would carry up to 45 people, a train would carry hundreds.

I can’t even believe this is something that has been proposed when that money can be used for things that the people of Ontario need. Ripping out bike lanes? If you want to reduce traffic then remove roadside parking.
