As a suburban driver, I fully support having more fully separated bike lanes. I feel safer as a driver knowing that any cyclists are separated from vehicles. Without bike lanes, where are the adults supposed to ride? On a busy sidewalk? On the street on hope vehicles don't sideswipe them?

This city is already overly car reliant (which is a problem) and the solution is not promoting more car reliance. By prioritizing cars in infrastructure, people who do not wish to or are not able to use a car for any reason are alienated and the city becomes more hostile to them.

Bike lanes are an important piece of road infrastructure to keep busy cities moving. London, Paris, NYC - all much more densely populated than Toronto, all have bike lanes. Instead of ripping them out, the province should be investing in public transportation and other green initiatives.

This bill is ridiculous on many fronts:
1. It is antithetical to our environmental goals. We should be doing everything in our power to promote sustainable methods of transportation and reduce the use of single occupancy gas-powered vehicles.

This proposal is completely misguided and fails to consider evidence that bicycle lanes increase safety, improve traffic congestion and support environmental sustainability.

I am writing to you today to oppose Doug Ford’s anti-bike lane legislation. Not only will it make our roads more unsafe for people who cycle, walk or drive it is also yet another overstep on the authority of municipalities.

Hi
Thanks for identifying Yonge Street as a street that SHOULD NEVER EVER have had bicycle lanes placed on it.
I certainly hope that these can be removed before winter starts. The dividers are small small concrete barriers.

Bike lane installations should remain at the discretion of the municipalities they serve. Adding another layer of bureaucracy and government is an unnecessary waste of public resources. Bike lanes provide safety to our cyclists and make cycling accessible for those who may not otherwise bike.

enough pleeeaaaaasssseeee our province has so many more pressing issues this is not only a waste of time and resources but exemplifies a gross misunderstanding of what causes traffic congestion in the first place.

This proposal does not improve traffic congestion. In fact, it could make things worse with growing cities by not considering more bike lane Infratstructure. There has been no proven data that this is what causes congestion in Ontario cities.

I don't believe the province is best place to make decision on bike lanes. This is something municipalities should be able to continue to do, without interference.
Municipal officials are elected so if electors are not happy with their decisions on bike lane, they can vote them out.

This legislation is a waste of time and money, and just is more red tape that in the long term will just cause more congestion, as this legislation would just be promoting "induced demand", which has been proven to cause way more congestion then bike lanes, as bike lanes get people out of their cars

I strongly oppose Bill 212 - Reducing Gridlock, Saving You Time Act, 2024 - Framework for bike lanes that require removal of a traffic lane. We need more, not few bike lanes. A singular focus on “making life easier for drivers” will only make life harder for all road users.

This proposal is a huge slap in the face to all Ontarian's. Our province does not need to impede bike lanes or provide wider coverage for a proprietary technology. Rural areas largely have access Starlink which is makes more sense financially for our province.

I own a car and use it to drive my two kids to school, appointments, etc and for work and household tasks. However, I do NOT support the removal of existing bike lanes, nor denying the creation of new bike lanes in favour of more space for cars.
