I wholeheartedly disagree with Bill 212. I am a cyclist and driver in Toronto; I commute via bike, cycling for over an hour every day round trip, and drive a couple times a week in addition to that. I, like so many other cyclists, depend on the bike lanes for a safer commute around the city. Read more

I do hope that the civil servants in Ontario who are concerned with and are hopefully working hard on the issue of traffic in Toronto , will not only think over their proposals again, but will take another look (or two) at the consequences of their latest recommendations and decisions. Read more

This bill should not pass! It is basically setting Ontario back decades in deciding to remove bike lanes at a time when we crucially need to decarbonize and reduce stress on our already overused and underfunded road systems. Read more

I think this bill is a bad idea. I use a bike to get to and from work, I used to bike on any road but had too many close calls getting hit by cars, so now I use bike lanes only as much as I can. Removing existing bike lanes will make everything worse for all road users. Read more

I am against this bill in its entirety. This bill is against democracy, against the freedom to choose how to travel around the city, against the freedom over our own land, against the environment, and against the people of Ontario. Read more

Regarding the proposed amendments to Part XII: I am deeply concerned about the negative impact this legislation would have on cyclist safety and sustainable transportation initiatives in our community and across Ontario. Read more

I am deeply concerned about Bill 212 and the Highway 413 Act. The former constitutes massive overreach of the provincial government into municipal affairs and both bills fail to address their stated goals, while putting public health and safety and the environment at risk. Read more

Biking in Toronto has become safer since I arrived in 2013. As someone who has been doored, and crashed into by cars prior to the safe bike lanes installed, I can’t think of a worse outcome for a city who’s citizens want to be safe. Read more

Bill 212, as drafted and tabled by the Progressive Conservative government under Premier Doug Ford, is fundamentally flawed in it's logic, lacks any science- or evidence-based credibility or merit, and must not be passed. Read more

For over 40 years I have cycled for fitness and commuting and I am appalled that Ontario’s progressive conservative government, under the leadership of Doug Ford, wants to remove bike lanes in the city of toronto. This makes no sense. Read more

This bill is ridiculous! Do not pass it! I love Canada. I love democracy. And I love bikes, clean water, and prime farmland. These are very important things for Ontario. Read more

The move to remove bike lanes from within the city of Toronto flies in the face of the very name of the bill, as it does not address the root cause of gridlock but rather is reducing part of the solution to it. Read more

I work at a traffic engineering company, so I’ve got lots of experience with traffic patterns and historical traffic all around the GTA. As a result, I know that at most locations, traffic increases about 0.5% to 2% each year. Read more

Bike lanes Eglinton Ave between Allen and Yonge are a complete waste. Travel along Eglinton and have counted a grand total of SEVEN, yes that’s 7, cyclists using them, since the lanes were created. Read more
