Thank you Doug Ford and team for bringing some common sense back to Toronto. I enjoy biking myself, but the lanes aren’t used nearly enough to justify their existence, particularly through the colder months. Read more

This bill is blatent overreach by the province into municipal affairs. We elected our officials based on their platforms with the expectation thay they will deliver on them. Read more

I am deeply concerned about Bill 212 and how this impacts local autonomy as well as community driven design. I ask that the committee push back against Bill 212 and reshape it to prioritize local design decisions. Read more

I am strongly opposed to this bill. The province should not be overstepping and interfering in municipal affairs. Removing municipal infrastructure is nothing more than a waste of taxpayer money.

I don’t even ride a bike that often but I feel much more confident driving my car on streets with bike lanes. Bike lanes keep cyclists safe. It is completely unclear how taking the lanes away reduce traffic. Read more

With Bill 212, the Ford government is choosing to actively put Ontario residents, including me and my family, in danger. My father commutes to work on his bike and is currently able to do so mostly on bike lanes. Read more

I am a Toronto resident, been living here almost 15 years, and I am writing in opposition to this proposal.  If the Province wants to reduce gridlock - encourage more people to choose biking or public transit, especially for short inner-city trips.  Read more

I strongly oppose this new bike lane framework. This is a band-aid approach to resolving gridlock and does not get to the root cause of the issue which is too many cars. This will encourage more driving on the roads where bike lanes are removed and make traffic worse. Read more

Regarding the newly installed bike lines on Bloor in the west end. We should give it more time for people to adjust before removing. It has only been a year since they were installed. I do think that certain areas need to be reworked, including the area between Old Mill and Jane. Read more

In total agreement on removing bike lanes on Bloor W Street and other main streets in Toronto. It is unfortunate that our municipal government does not hear and act based on majority's opinion and majority's needs. Bike lanes need to be placed so that they do not create more obstacles in traffic. Read more
