Best common sense bill in years. The bike lane bullies of Toronto have their tentacles all through city hall and have been fabricating data on usage, winter ridership, poor weather day ridership, impact on local business, and impact on working Torontonians trying to navigate through the city.

Removing the bike lanes along Bloor St is a dangerous and costly move! I live in the area just off of Bloor W and I see how useful the bike lanes are, and have used them myself. Bloor is a busy street, and having a designated space for bikers keeps them safe from cars.

My partner is an avid cyclist. He cycles daily, and often cycles for charity. Cycling has improved his health, happiness and quality of life. It is his primary mode of transportation.

Traffic is bad because of cars. End of story. People just want to get from Point A to Point B. When the best way to do that is by car, people drive. When there are better alternatives, people use those. The only thing that cures traffic is better alternatives to driving.

Hello! I am a 15 year old child that takes a bike to school 4/5 days a week. I need to bike since to get my 30 minutes of exercise a day (something most car drivers don't get) and it makes me happier and more free than the people trapped in an oversized metal beast.

As I reflect on the implications of Bill 212, my heart grows heavy with concern for the safety of our streets. The proposed removal of bike lanes threatens to increase the risk of accidents, placing cyclists and pedestrians in harm's way.

Bikes lanes are essential to thousands of commuters every single day. As someone who lives right off Bloor St W I see how many bikes are used every day - even in November! Removing the bike lanes is a mistake.

Municipalities have qualified staff and elected officials who take budget, safety, current and future population etc into consideration when planning and designing streets for people. They understand their community better than the Province. Kill bill 212
Bike lanes are a vital form of transportation in Toronto and Ontario. There is no statistical evidence that the bike lanes have made congestion worse in Toronto. Cars create traffic. The more cyclists we can make safe, the better the traffic will be.

The bike lanes on Yonge street are dangerous, impeding all forms of transportation. It’s a narrow artery ajready with pedestrians emergency vehicles cars buses and every kind of construction and municipal vehicle. It’s terribly gridlocked and dangerous now.

A good friend of mine was hit by a car while cycling yesterday in downtown Toronto and spent the day in the hospital determining whether he has broken his leg. Keeping bike lanes on Toronto streets big and small is critical for ensuring that more people are able to safely use alternatives to cars.

This proposal is flawed because it adds more "red tape" (such as needing provincial government approvals) to municipalities that wants to build safer road infrastructure for bikers.
This is because bike lanes separates car and bike traffic while allowing both to use the road for their needs.
I strongly disagree with this proposal. I can appreciate that gridlock and traffic congestion place a burden on every major city. However, the proposed solution in Bill 212 regarding bike lane removal seems far too extreme for what it is worth.

I vehemently disagree with all aspects of Bill 212, including the Ford government's Bike Lane Removal framework. It creates even more red tape for municipalities if MTO oversees local bike infrastructure policies that calm streets, encourages healthy travel and save lives.

I am writing to disagree with Bill 212's proposal to over-ride the democratic, well-researched decisions of municipal councils (such as Toronto City Council) concerning removing bike lanes on the "Complete Streets" that are designed to keep motor vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians safely separate fr

I'm a Canadian citizen, who left the province (and ultimately the country) in large part because of my dissatisfaction with Canada's transit options outside of cars.
