Please let's not waste provincial resources on municipal issues. Let the local mps and mpps speak to their constituents! Keep big Ontario government out of my local decisions, I like bikes!

Removing bike lanes will not ease grid lock, and it will only make it worse. Less bike lanes will mean more people on the road. Additionally cars do not get stuck behind cyclists. It will also make it less safe for cyclists and drivers. Bike lanes have made the city great and easier to get around. Read more

The proposed legislation requiring provincial approval for new bike lanes that remove a lane of traffic will be detrimental to the functioning of cities. Increasing bike lanes increases the number of people who commute via bike instead of car. Read more

This is a ridiculous, wasteful, and backward idea. We need more cycling infrastructure, not less. Prioritizing more lanes for cars will just lead to more cars on the road and more gridlock.

Removing bike lanes from Toronto is an absolutely horrendous idea that isn’t supported by any data whatsoever. The number of lanes doesn’t dictate traffic congestion and it’s clear the Doug doesn’t understand that. Read more

I am deeply concerned about Bill 212’s attempt to restrict bike lanes and the recent news that several bike lanes in Toronto will be removed at the taxpayer’s expense. Read more

This is the most ridiculous proposal I’ve read. Someone please explain how bike lanes are causing congestion when bicycles reduce the number of vehicles on the road?

This is a terrible idea and it will NOT reduce traffic. Cyclists will not simply disappear, they will start using vehicle lanes instead, thus causing even more traffic.

Bike lanes actually save traffic time. Bikes are still allowed on roads and help the environment with less pollution. This bill is anti-environment, anti-people, and only pro-road ragers. Do not vote yes to this. Bikes are the answer to a cleaner, more efficient Toronto.

This proposal ignores all city and traffic planning principles, shows the province has little to no expertise on municipal planning and further indicating this proposal is a inappropriate jurisdictional over reach. I will elaborate the issues below: Read more

Bike lanes prevent cyclists from needing to take an entire lane of traffic (which then slows down the traffic flow to the speed of the cyclist, so about 20 km/h). Read more
