This is a terrible plan that is not only, not based on evidence but ann inappropriate overreach by the province. At best, this will put cyclist lives in danger, at worst it will result in death. Please cancel this ludicrous bill! Read more

I live steps from Bloor St West and Prince Edward Drive. I am out often on foot shopping or getting my steps in. Bloor St used to have a bit of a rush hour in the morning and again in the afternoon. Read more

I fully support Bill 212. I'm glad that someone has some common sense. I hope for an expedited process on the removal of the bike lanes as I'm tired of sitting in unnecessary traffic. Read more

I live in the High Park neighbourhood. I walk or run Bloor Street between Jane St and Dundas on a regular basis as part of my exercise routine and I count the bicycles in the bike lanes each time. Read more

Nothing about this bill makes any sense. There is no evidence that bike lanes promote or create gridlock. On the contrary, Bike lanes smooth traffic and make it move better. Read more

As a taxpayer I’m absolutely appalled that you will be removing bike lanes. It does not make any sense to remove already built infrastructure for no good reason and that it will cost so much to remove perfectly good infrastructure. I don’t understand how any of this makes any fiscal sense. Read more

Reducing bike lanes has been proven to increase traffic, this will not help at all and will cost us more money to do more construction to rip them out. Please stop wasting our tax money, Premier Ford, you will never be mayor of Toronto like Robbie was so get over it.

As a resident of Toronto for most of my life, and someone who has lived and worked in a wide variety of areas in the city, from Etobicoke to Scarborough, to North York and East York, I really don't see the proposed idea as a smart idea from a fiscal/tax perspective, safety perspective, or congestion Read more

This is a huge provincial overstep in what should be strictly city planning. As a disabled person who infrequently uses bike lanes, even I can see the glaring safety issues, not least the negative impact on liveable cities. Read more

I’m curious to know how the province justifies the expense of removing RECENTLY COMPLETED bike lanes and their rationale for limiting alternative modes of transportation in Toronto. Read more
