Do not reduce bike lanes, they are incredibly important to public transit and give an important option for many people who prefer to travel by bike (which is incredibly good for the environment)
I seriously believe Bill 212 should rethink the notion of taking away bike lanes in Toronto. By removing bike lanes, you are taking away a safe avenue for many Torontonians' commute. Removing will not reduce congestion.

I am writing as a parent with a young child and commuter to unequivocally oppose Bill 212. This short-sighted bill prioritizes drivers over the long term needs of Ontarians.

Bike lanes are why I love toronto. It makes absolutely no sense to remove them. Please stop making highways. 413 is ridiculous, another highway is not the solution. Tax cars that enter the city on daily commutes. Increase the volume of trains. Build more bike lanes. Please.

It is foolish to think that building more highways will reduce gridlock. Our tax dollars would be better spent subsidizing the use of already existing toll highways and improving public transportation.
If the Premier is committed to reducing commute times at all cost without referencing any data to support his decisions, he should probably just outlaw traffic lights, stop signs, and pedestrian crosswalks next.

Indigenous consultation and environmental scans are NOT OPTIONAL. Do them first as is required. If your highway is as great as you say it will be why not back that up with some facts before you build it to prove so?
Planning to take land from suburbanite owners is NOT cool either.

Yo, listen up, it’s time to take a stand,
Bill 212’s got us feeling out of hand.
They say it’s for the gridlock, saving us some time,
But building more highways? That ain’t no rhyme.
We need solutions, not more concrete,
Invest in transit, make our cities complete.

Please do not remove our bike lanes. We need to keep humans who choose non-motorized vehicle options safe as well. Taking away bike lanes to prioritize vehicles will not solve the gridlock problem. You cannot solve a problem with the same thinking that created it!

I am very against this proposal. Bike lanes save lives, and the removal of them does not mean the removal of cyclists. I purposefully don't drive (and instead bike or transit everywhere) and a big reason is to help make this city a better place.

I use the bike lanes on Yonge Street to connect to Bloor street several times per week. Before the installation of these dedicated lanes I did not ride my bike or bike share down Yonge street because of the risk of riding in traffic.

This is a provincial over-reach, this is an municipal matter. You have zero business interfering with another government's investments. Kill this bill immediately.
I demand my elected officials make data-driven investments. Data CONSISTENTLY does not indicate that removing bike lanes will appreciably decrease commutes. Data does indicate this will increase cyclist injuries and fatalities.

Remove street parking, not bike lanes. Bloor St W, University Ave, and Yonge st all have on street parking. In the interest of getting the city moving, if any chance needs to occur, it should start with removing stationary road blockages. Remove street parking, not bike lanes.
