Why are we wasting money to remove infrastructure that has already been developed? There are plenty of other places that the taxpayers’ dollars could be used, for example, healthcare.
How incredibly stupid does Doug Ford and his band of cronies think we are? Stopping people from riding their bikes is going to fix traffic? Removing bike lanes will fix traffic on our 400 series highways?

This is an incredible waste of taxpayer money and government energy. Bike lanes motivate more people to bike and get more cars off the road, which actually helps traffic. BIAs also have shown that bike lanes help local businesses make money and keep Ontario moving.

Horrible bill and a true waste of taxpayer money. Bike lanes have proven to decongest roads and bolster local businesses. Bikes are also a great way of promoting a more active lifestyle and a healthy population. The provincial government should be paying for MORE bike lanes.

1) Stop interfering with democratically elected municipal governments and the mandates given to them by the people. Conservatives have shown they do not care about democracy and are not fiscally responsible.

This provincial government seems to care about nothing other than car infrastructure.
Canada needs to be pulled kicking and screaming into the 21st Century from its victorian ideas about city planning.

The province needs to mind its own business and not meddle in municipal affairs. I feel that this interference is being done for blatantly political reasons and not with the aim of "reducing gridlock." There are already too many cars in my city.

Another grasping at straws idea from a conservative government that is more interested in looking like they are doing something than actually doing something to solve a problem.

If we care about climate and safety, we should be pushing towards better public transit and cycling infrastructure, not more cars on the road.

This is such a terribly bad idea even by the low standards of this government. Shameful on all counts. Waste of time and money. Putting people's lives in danger. Awful
Mr Premier, I'm very disappointed in the proposal of Bill 212 that will serve to add red tape and unnecessary bureaucracy to the approval of bike lanes in Ontario. This bill will do nothing to 'reduce congestion'. There is no real data to support the idea that bike lanes add to gridlock.

This bill adds unnecessary red tape into municipal infrastructure projects. Whatever happened to small government? I have been a conservative voter all my life but I have had about enough of these absurd decisions that are made solely to win over suburban Toronto voters.

This proposed legislation is an overreach by the provincial government in an area usually delegated to municipalities. It will also have negative environmental and other impacts.

This is a terrible idea. Would you prefer I drive instead of being one less car on the road? Emergency vehicle wait times have decreased since bike lanes have gone in. Cyclists REDUCE gridlock and should be encouraged. Bike lanes prevent traffic by moving people out of their cars and onto bikes.

Doug Ford is wasting the province’s money on something that will NOT fix traffic gridlock. Removing bike lanes will not stop cyclists. This will only make it increasingly unsafe and result in more people DYING. DO NOT REMOVE THE BIKE LANES FROM OUR STREETS.

I strongly oppose this bill. Bike lanes are a municipalities decision and a provincial government is getting involved abusing their power. Bike lanes keep people safe and reduce traffic. If Toronto weren’t so car-centric there would be less traffic because people would be taking transit.

The main focus of this Bill is the car, presented as the only means of viable transportation, one which should be prioritized. This is limited thinking that discounts the role of alternate modes of transport, including transit, bikes and other micromobility vehicles.
