This proposed legislation risks reinforcing a car-centric approach to urban planning that prioritizes vehicles over pedestrians and cyclists. Limiting bike lane installation and removing environmental assessment processes for major highway projects does nothing to reduce gridlock. Read more

Nobody wants this Bill passed except for the corrupted Provincial Conservatives. This only benefits their donors and is a slap in the face to hard working people of Ontario. The very people Ford claims to be working for.

Please remove these bike lanes from the major roadways. They are never packed with cyclists. Car and truck traffic here is becoming ridiculous for residents, and a popular topic among visitors, including celebrities. An embarrassment for Toronto. Read more

In a time of dangerously advancing climate change, many people are choosing to commute by bike, which is good for the environment, good for exercise, AND it reduces road congestion, so it’s even good for people who need to travel by car. Read more

No. This goes against everything we collectively know about traffic flow efficiencies, public road and transit cost efficiencies, what we need for safety for all road users, and the many benefits of bikes for health, social connection, nature connection, and community safety. Read more

There are certain situations when you cannot see the wood for the trees. The racket and contamination generated out of the question could lead us to think that wrong is right. Read more

I am against Bill 212. It does not address the key problems in transportation that are required to reduce congestion/gridlock. This also intrudes on the natural habitat of wildlife through its highway construction initiatives. Read more

In Toronto, bike lanes offer many benefits to residents. They create a designated space for bike riders on the road. Bike lanes keep cyclists safer. When bikers fear for their safety, they bike on sidewalks which makes it difficult and unsafe for pedestrians. Read more

Traffic in Toronto is an urban planning issue that has nothing to do with the bike lanes. Removing bike lanes does not remove the cyclists. Without them, you will have cars and bikes together on the same narrow road, causing cars to move slower in and around the individuals cycling. Read more

I'm a driver and a cyclist. In most cases I prefer to cycle than drive because it's more time efficient in the city, I get exercise and fresh air, plus I feel more of a connection to the world around me. We are a cycling family, me, my husband, and 2 kids - 10 and 14 years old. Read more

We need a transparent framework to evaluate the addition or existing bicycle lanes taking into account all those impacted by the thoroughfares, including commerce. It also needs a way to police cyclists who use these lanes with no regard to other traffic, including pedestrians.

thank Goodness someone had the intestinal fortitude to do the right thing. The province should now seriously consider how to stop the dysfunction permeating the city of Toronto decisionmaking. A supervisor, bankruptcy or dissolution all strike me as viable solutions. Thank you Mr. Ford.

I’m commenting on this bill as a driver, pedestrian and cyclist in Toronto, and the broader GTA. Please scrap this bill and it’s unnecessary meddling in municipal infrastructure. Read more
