I strongly disagree with the section of this proposal that relates to bike lanes. I do not support anything that would slow or limit the rollout of a safe and comprehensive transportation network for bikes and PEVs. Read more

There are dire consequences to this Bill from a financial stability, environmental and climate, and mental physical health standpoint. This Bill is not financially sound - undoing capital works like bike lanes and costing almost 2-3 times MORE than it did to put them in. Read more

I am a resident of the Annex, who moved from Calgary two years ago. I use the bike lanes on a daily basis to commute to and from work and, when the TTC is unavailable, I use it as an alternative since I don't have a car. I STRONGLY support keeping the bike lanes. Read more

Building new highways faster does not seem to be an effective solution to gridlock. It may exacerbate the problem. New highways can lead to more cars trying to access these routes, which ultimately results in even worse congestion. Read more

This is a terrible propal that should be thrown immediately in the trash. We NEED the environmental and safety checks when it comes to building new infrastructure so that we reserve the money required for better long term projects. Not the projects that will make his land-owning friends rich. Read more

As a midtown Toronto resident, bicyclist, and car driver, I use bike lanes frequently to commute to work, shop, and run errands, and I have done so for many years. The bike lanes have made bicycling much safer than it was before they were installed. Please do not remove them! thanks,

This is a ludicrous proposal that will do nothing but make our streets more dangerous. cyclists will continue to use our streets regardless of whether there are lanes or not. removing the lanes just means an increased risk to both them and the drivers around them. Shame on you.

Having authority over bike lanes is not the role of the provincial government. Please focus on provincial issues. This is a gross overstep of power and will not solve any interim issues of traffic, and will actually cause more traffic. Read more

I have lived in the city's residential downtown neighborhoods for over 10 years. I've been a cyclist the whole time, using bike lanes to get to work, do groceries, see friends and family, attend events, and generally get around. Read more

As a former resident of Toronto and someone who used the bike lanes on university and bloor occasionally, I loved knowing that it was a safe spot to ride. As a frequent car user, it’s safer to know cyclists will be in the bike lane, instead of a normal car lane. Read more

Existing data broadly shows that removing bike lanes in favour of additional motor lanes results in worse traffic and longer commute times. What is needed is a reduction in the ratio of cars to road track, which is more effectively achieved through alternative modes of transportation... Read more

Good morning, I am a Toronto resident (M6J) who bikes to work most days of the week. I do not have a car, and will occasionally use a car-share for groceries, commutes, or other needs. I do not support Bill 212. Read more
