Toronto doesnt want this! having bike lanes is super important for the way our city flows. We want to encourage this type of transportation not limit it. Please put this money towards better things for our city.
Removing bike lanes will only make congestion worse – to prioritize bike safety, cyclists will need to ride in the center of a lane to remain fully visible which will only impede higher speed traffic.

As someone who lives in Toronto and uses the bike lanes every day I’m extremely concerned by this proposal. Bike lanes increase safety of citizens and over time decrease congestion by getting people off the roads.

Building more highways will not solve congestion. It will only encourage more people to drive. Induced demand is a well known concept. The only way to reduce traffic is to improve flow and get less cars on the road. More highways is not the answer. This is a step backwards.
I'm a Toronto resident. This bill is absolutely backwards, and will harm our entire province. It will set us back, cause traffic to get worse, and endanger people's lives.

The portions of Bill 212 dealing with bike lanes are wrong-headed and counterproductive. They will lead to more gridlock, less safe streets (for bikers, pedestrians, and car drivers), and will have an adverse effect on local businesses.

My comment is in firm opposition to the proposed Reducing Gridlock, Saving You Time Act, specifically the introduction of a new provincial approval process for the installation of new bike lanes.

Please, please, please don't pass this bill! (Song) It is more detrimental in the long run because it will cause more harm to cyclists and accidents with car drivers and motor vehicles if cyclists are not provided a safe lane to bike then I will risk more fatalities!

I believe bike lanes are carbon friendly transportation options essential to the growth, evolution, and densification of cities: single users cars are among the least efficient methods of transporting people within a city.

I have lived in Bloor West Village since 2004 and in Ontario since 2002. The Conservative Party of Ontario seems built on the assumption that the effete progressives of Toronto are shoving our lifestyles and values down the throat of suburban and rural Ontarians.

I want to know how this will affect biking infrastructure in the city. I worry that by trying to reduce traffic on busy streets bike lanes will be taken away to make room for more car lanes.

We don't need more highways, especially when highway construction avoids environmental assessments! And we do need bike lanes to help reduce pollution from vehicles! Put the money into healthcare and education!
it's ridiculous to me that a provincial government leader is telling Torontonians what our bike lanes should look like. This is not a provincial concern. Stay in your lane. Biking is dangerous enough in this city and removing them will only make matters worse.

Bike lanes save lives, reduce congestion and traffic, increase health, and the connectedness of communities. Do not make it more difficult to make bike lanes.
Bike lanes are an essential part of city infrastructure. Removing them from heavily used roads like Bloor will not stop cyclist from biking there, it will just make the street far more dangerous for everyone!
