As a supporter of the Ford government, I appreciate its commitment to improving Ontario’s infrastructure and addressing congestion challenges.

This proposal does not make sense at all because you are ripping out existing bike lanes, that we collectively as citizens, already paid for, to expedite more highways.

Nobody wants a tunnel under the Highway 401. We don't want our bike network removed in Toronto. We want safe, easy to use infrastructure that reduces the number of car trips and makes it less likely that I am KILLED while traveling to work, school, or recreation. I am both a driver and a cyclist.

i can't believe i have to say this but BIKE LANES ARE GOOD FOR EVERYONE INCLUDING DRIVERS
They make it safer and easy for not only people on bikes to get around, but also people who walk or people on scooters or who have mobility devices and literally everyone outside of a car.

This Bill is the dumbest thing I have ever read. The first paragraph of information just says we are going to allow the theft of land from anyone. Forcing utilities to move just makes life for everyone more complicated due to disruptions in services.

I know bike lanes are necessary, instead of spending money removing them, why not spend that money on improving public transportation. That would help reduce the gridlock.
I strongly oppose this bill. This bill does not even distinguish between main roads and side streets and doesn’t take cyclists into consideration.

I am deeply concerned about the proposed bill. As a non-cyclist, I find the current infrastructure unsafe, particularly due to the absence of a continuous bike network that is fully separated from vehicle lanes.

It sounds like Mr. Ford wants a nice drive in to work, so his idea is to remove the bike lanes on Bloor. And not just the one about at Islington, but near Queens Park too, it seems. Those lanes getting further east are very highly-used and have had a positive impact on the local economy.

There is so much I feel is a step backwards with how the government is approaching this bill so I am going to have to approach it in bullet points working my way through the proposal.

I don't think it's fair that you're doing this. I had to watch somebody die at the corner of St. Clair and Yonge. It's unfair to me and my fellow cyclists that we must wonder whether or not I will return safely to my family.

I'm extremely disappointed with this move in a city that requires more diverse modes of transportation than ever. I was one of the people who just recently started biking along the Yonge Street just because I felt safe enough because of the infrastructure and left my car at home.

I strongly oppose Bill 212. I believe it will severely detriment all road users, and I am saying this as a driver myself. The traffic will simply worsen without separated bike lanes, as more people get into their cars.

This proposal goes completely against all well-established research. It's well-known that more car lanes do not reduce traffic but the opposite, more car infrastructure just bring more cars into the road and creates more congestion.

I am absolutely appalled by this bill. I use the bike share service daily rain, or shine, along Bloor Street. Like most people in my neighborhood, I do not own a car and my condo building does not have many parking options.

1. The provincial government shouldn't be adding red tape and bureaucracy to slow down local governments trying to increase transportation options.
2. I use bike lanes every day and consider them essential transportation infrastructure, like side walks.

Study after study have shown that increasing lanes of highways leads to an increase in traffic, not a decrease. Likewise, promoting alternative transportation (i.e. bike lanes) will improve traffic in the long run.
