As someone who cannot afford a car and uses bloor west to commute to work daily twice this is a disgrace to Toronto. Why would you want to remove bike lanes that are busiest and most used in the city. Have you even seen the bike traffic in the mornings and afternoons?

Do you not realize that removing bike infrastructure means that people who used to bike will now be using cars, even further increasing traffic?

I wholeheartedly cannot support this proposal. The removal of safe cycling infrastructure will do a disservice to each community impacted - moreso that of downtown Toronto where safe cycle networks are an asset, relied on and appreciated by all including motorists, cyclist and pedestrians.

We need multiple ways of transportation! If we remove lanes, I will drive my car and create more traffic for everyone. How can we destroy nice looking bike lanes to ugly streets with more dangerous cars.
This is a poor proposal and clear provincial overreach. The GTA will hamstring itself if it continues to pursue short-sighted commuter car infrastructure at the expense of a modern, multi-faceted transit network which includes cars, bikes, and public transportation.

Reducing biking infrastructure is counter-productive and I say this as someone who drives a personal vehicle 95% of the time. The choice and ability to use a bicycle as transportation should be treated with the same respect as the choice to drive a car or use public transportation.

I strongly oppose Bill 212. It represents a massive overreach of the provincial government's power. The province should not be stepping in and blocking construction of or removing bike lanes in cities, as they are valuable transportation infrastructure.

I think removing bike lanes is a terrible idea. Congestion on these streets existed BEFORE bike lanes were implemented, congestion will exist even AFTER. Removing bike lanes means more people in cars which INCREASES congestion.

Stop the Wasteful Red Tape and Bureaucracy
The provincial government shouldn't be adding red tape and bureaucracy to slow down local governments trying to increase transportation options.
We Need Essential Transportation

The only times I have ever seen a bike hold up traffic was when there was NO BIKE LANE and the cyclist had to ride on the shoulder causing drivers to slow down behind them so they could safely pass. Getting rid of bike lanes is a waste of money and resources and a huge safety issue.

This Bill is hugely disappointing. How is it even possible that our federal representatives can unilaterally undo the workings of democratically developed city solutions!? It's astonishing that years of proven planning solutions are being put aside for this short minded bill.

The approval of Bill 212 would reverse essential progress in building safer urban environments and increasing sustainable transportation options.

Hello, I live near London, ON but I used to live in Mississauga, ON for 20 years and I am deeply upset with this proposal. This shows a clear lack of understanding of how traffic works and is out of touch with what the province I have lived in for my whole life needs.

As someone who has been living in Toronto since 2011 and was part of the contingent of individuals desperately wanting bike lanes on Bloor, then seeing their installation, and benefiting greatly from them—in terms of safety, peace of mind, smoothness and ease of travel—I STRONGLY oppose the removal
