As a tax payer and someone who chose to call Canada, specifically Ontario home, I am appalled at this proposal.
Under the guise of helping people this government proposes to:

It is not the role of the Provincial government to decide on municipal matters such as the location of bike lanes.
Removal of bike lanes will make Torontonians less safe - it is wrong. period.
Dear Premier Ford
I would like to register my strong opposition to the proposed Bill 212 as it is currently written. My concerns are as follows:

I would strongly advise you not to proceed with the removal of bike lanes. It will immediately fill up with traffic and lead to next to zero gains in terms of time saved for cars. Bikes take up way less space than cars and we should be encouraging their use.

My partner and I own a car but both choose to bike all year round for 90% of our trips because of the great bike lanes. They need to be improved and ADDED to, not removed. We need to encourage carpooling, public transit and cycling.

I recently took my 5 year old for a bike ride and we used the Bloor bike lane to get to the ROM for an afternoon. She loved it, I could see it opened up her mind for what is possible for getting around Toronto and I felt safe following her on the route. Please don't take this away.

The bike lanes on Bloor West from Jane to the end are a hazard. I have seen emergency vehicles stuck trying to get through. I have seen traffic cutting through neighborhood side streets and running stop signs to avoid waiting on Bloor.

As a home owner, tax payer and resident of the University community who is directly living where these changes are proposed unlike Rob Ford. This is a ridiculous, waste of money, and will cause more cars and traffic.

Removing bike lanes before any replacements are ready on nearby roads will cause undue risk to current users. If you are replacing these existing lanes you must improve the experience or keep it like-for-like. The existing arterials are attractive bike lanes due to their long, direct routing.

I am a tax payer, home owner, car owner, and bike rider in the city of Toronto. I deeply object to this bill, which will not meaningfully ease gridlock, while making the roads less safe. I also find it reprehensible that this bill gets in the way of our city making its own decisions.

Coming from someone who drives and also bikes I can’t believe we are even considering removing bike lanes that are a vital means for thousands to get around Toronto safely.

Doug Ford's Bill 212, aimed at removing bike lanes that occupy one lane of traffic, is deeply misguided and fails to address the real causes of gridlock in Ontario’s cities. Traffic congestion is caused primarily by an overabundance of cars, not by cyclists or bike lanes.

I oppose bill 212 The only way to reduce gridlock is to reduce the number of vehicles in the road. This bill will reduce safety for cyclist Cities should be the best judge of the best way to encourage safe movement for all in their area.
As residents, pedestrians, drivers and cyclists of Toronto, we are writing to express our strongest opposition to Bill 212 that will create more hazardous roads, increase air and noise pollution without solving the congestion problem the city faces.

There is no honest reason, supported by legitimate data, that justifies this change that was made my the democratically elected Toronto council.
