The proposed bill would be a clear overreach of provincial power and constitutes direct meddling in municipal affairs. Bike lanes are an obvious and clear area of municipal jurisdiction and the province should not step in to determine what it views is in the best interest of municipal constituents. Read more

I wholeheartedly oppose Bill 212. Removing bike lanes to address gridlock is a misguided approach that prioritizes short-term convenience over long-term safety, sustainability, and effective urban planning. Read more

I vehemently oppose the proposed framework for bike lanes that require the removal of a traffic lane, and the proposed removal of cycling infrastructure on Bloor Street, University Avenue, and Yonge Street. Read more

This would be an overreach of provincial authority, any decision regarding bike lanes in Toronto should be made by the municipal government elected by the people of Toronto. Read more

We've already made it abundantly easy to drive. Almost to the point where we're forcing Canadians to buy a car because there's no other way to reasonably get around. Every plaza, every mall, every house - all have parking minimums. Netherlands doesn't have this. Neither does Japan. Read more

Bike lanes may be a good thing in the downtown core where most people either walk or take the TTC, but they are a very bad mistake outside of the core, for ex., in the Bloor West Village or in the Kingsway, where all they do is create congestion and lead to interminable queues at traffic lights (lea Read more

I agree with the removal of bike lanes on principal roads like Bloor, Yonge and University. My personal experience is on Bloor, west of South Kingsway to Islington. Since the bike lanes have been installed my commute time has doubled. Not just during rush hour but at all times throughout the day. Read more

This initiative will overly centralise decision making on infrastructure matters to the purview of the provincial government - matters which properly should be decided at a much more local level. Read more

Dear Minister Sakaria and Premier Ford, In communities across Ontario like mine, people are struggling to find a family doctor. They’re struggling to find an affordable place to call home. Read more

The wholesale foisting of bike lanes across the entire city pursuant to a dysfunctional discriminatory agenda is at long last being challenged. The so called community consultations that preceded these installations were even more abhorrent than the usual city statutory consultations. Read more

I approve of removing the bike lanes on the indicated streets such as Bloor, Yonge, University, etc and that provincial approval is needed for new bike lanes or preferably no new. bike lanes

Keep the bike lanes! I use the Bloor bike lane throughout Etobicoke to get to work. Sure, currently it does not appear that many people use the lanes (would have to be measured to quantify this statement) in the suburbs of Toronto, but downtown Toronto the bike lanes are filled and busy. Read more

Please leave all existing bike lanes intact. They save lives, and even if they are under-utilized in some places, you have to build them first, and over time the usage will increase.

I support bike lanes in the city that are properly assessed in the context of all types of commuters. Unfortunately, it seems a lack of planning has been done to deal with traffic flow. Traffic flow in the city of Toronto is broken. Read more

As a Torontonian who uses bike lanes constantly, I can tell you that it makes no sense to remove them. Have you watched the bike traffic during rush hour on bloor? Would you prefer those were all people in cars?? As a Torontonian and an Ontarian I am against every part of this bill.
