Please leave decisions about bike lanes in the hands of municipal governments. We shouldn't have to seek approval from the province to add bike lanes to our neighbourhoods.

I am greatly opposed to removing bike lanes. The bike couriers will be riding in the traffic lanes and probably on the sidewalks creating more congestion and confusion!

I don’t believe removing bike lanes will improve gridlock. Bloor st was a parking lot well before the bike lanes went in. Perhaps, removing center median and or some of the additional street parking would help. Modifying traffic flow direction during rush hour would also be a good solution.
Building wider roads will not alleviate congestion. Reducing the number of cars on the roads and highways will reduce congestion. Options to do this would be to increase support for public transportation, creating practical infrastructure to reduce the need for people to use their automobiles.

Boooooo! Yes this may sound like an uncivilized comment but by taking away bike lanes you are literally stealing the only joy I have in my life! I love to bike around and the university one is my fav! You’ll essentially put bikers 🚴 at high risk and we need safety first for everyone.
This bill represents a significant step backward in our efforts to invest in public transit and to build cities that prioritize sustainable and inclusive transportation options over car-centric infrastructure.

As a life-long Toronto resident who is approaching 70 years old, as a frequent driver in a
3-car household, and as an avid cyclist, I would like to register my strong opposition to the
proposed destruction of cycling infrastructure within the city of Toronto.

Integrating other modes of transport like bike lanes and not expanding car lanes has been studied Bike lanes over expanded car lanes offer numerous benefits, including:
1. **Safety**: Designated bike lanes separate cyclists from motor vehicles, reducing the likelihood of accidents and injuries.

Dear Premier Ford,
I am a car driver, a pedestrian and a cyclist. I know based on data as well as experience they all three groups are safer with dedicated bike lanes.

Bikes do not cause gridlock. Bike infrastructure does not cause gridlock.
These are documented facts supported by tonnes of research that this government is of course aware of but pretend do not exist.

This is a terrible plan that will further contribute to our growing traffic, health care, and environmental problems. Please stop wasting taxpayer money on this nonsense and focus on the solutions we really need: public healthcare, education, and transit.

I am writing to express my strong opposition to the province's proposed plan to limit the construction of bike lanes in municipalities across Ontario.

I use bike lanes every day and consider them an essential transportation option. It's a healthy and inexpensive way to get around the city. They've removed my need for a car. By removing these lanes, my safety and the safety of other cyclists will be put further at risk.

I am firmly against Bill 212, I use Bloor and University bike lanes a lot, if they're removed, I would most likely drive, but why would you remove it, can you imagine making more people drive on these roads? Downtown yonge has no bike lanes and the congestion is still crap!

I wish to voice my support for Bill 212, specifically, with regards to the gridlock that unnecessary bike lanes have caused in the Kingsway community.

I am vehemently opposed to the section of this bill taking decision-making regarding the placement of bike lanes from the municipalities and handing them over to the province.

I strongly oppose Ontario Bill 212. This bill is detrimental to cycling safety and undermines the progress we've made towards sustainability and livability.

I am a physician who rarely engages in public debate. But this issue is near to my heart. Every morning around 8AM I bike with my 5 year old daughter on the Bloor St bike lanes to school, drop her off at Huron school, and then bike to the hospital.

I am a Toronto resident and year-round cyclist in this city. The legislation as part of Bill 212 that will allow the province to dictate where and if a bike lane can be installed or removed in any Ontario municipality should be immediately removed from this bill.

As an Ontarian and Torontonian I am in opposition to Bill 212. Bike lanes in Toronto are a necessary means of alternate transportation. Not everyone has the means or desire to move via vehicle and they should not be the only priority on the road.
