This bill is an awful idea on several dimensions and should not be passed. Spending municipal money to remove bike lanes, especially recently installed ones, is a terrible waste of resources. Creating additional red tape and bureaucracy is wasteful and costly. Read more

Do NOT do this! We just spent so many tax dollars installing the bike lanes. We spent months dealing with construction of bike lanes Do not spend more money! Do not block up the roads with more construction. There are too many people in Toronto. Bike lanes are not the problem.

This is dumb and an unbelievable waste of tax-payer money! Putting in an extra lane of traffic doesn't reduce congestion, as the last 100 years have shown repeatedly, in thousands of cities all around the world. Read more

This bill is moving in the wrong direction. People should not be driving personal cars in the city cores. Instead of wasting tax payers money look to reduce cars on the roads. How? Bike lanes, better transit, car fair zones…

The province should let the city dictate where bike lanes are installed since they have the most relevant knowledge. This seems like an overreach from the provincial government to try to meddle in the affairs of the city.

It is important to improve our infrastructure for all modes of transportation. This means providing individuals a variety of means to reach their destination, while prioritizing safety. Read more

This is absolutely ridiculous and draconian. The notion that cities should require the province's permission before installing new bike lanes--WHETHER OR NOT any such new lanes would require the removal of a car traffic lane--is patently absurd. Read more

Removing bike lanes is NOT a method to reduce traffic congestion, if our government leaders do not understand how to reduce congestion, they need to step down and let real adults do there job.

Biking is such an important and sustainable way of travel, and this will just make it unsafe and inaccessible for Canadians. I fully oppose this proposal and I would like to see MORE bike lanes like in Europe. Protected, and safe for my kids to enjoy and use for their lifetime.

Bill 212, the Reducing Gridlock, Saving You Time Act, 2024, should be opposed due to its lack of evidence supporting effectiveness in reducing congestion and high implementation costs that could divert funds from critical services (healthcare and education). Read more

Keep the bikes lanes. Removing bike lanes will actually increase congestion because now that person riding a 1.5m bike has to drive a car which takes up 4x the amount of space on the road. Read more

I totally disagree with this legislation. I use TTC and bike lanes in Toronto. That's because parking is the determining factor. There is no place to park downtown unless you earn in excess of 200,000. So driving your car to work in congestion is only part of the problem. Read more

If you want to reduce gridlock, it's best to encourage the use of bicycles and increase the development of bike lanes, not the reverse. Bikes take up less space and leave roads freer for people who have no choice but to drive. A bike-friendly city is healthier and consumes fewer fossil fuels. Read more

I find it extremely counter-productive that the province would go so far as to remove efficient forms on transit in favour of inefficient ones. Instead of making our roads safer, all this will do is cause more accidents, increase our CO2 output, and remove healthy forms of transportations. Read more

Research shows bike lanes result in more shoppers, less traffic congestion, healthier communities. This is a big step backwards. I don't ride a bike but have found Toronto much pleasanter to drive in since the introduction of bike lanes.
