Viking is extremely important to myself and my family. My kids Cycle to school and obtain a modicum of freedom and independence through their bicycles. Children cannot drive. And removing bike lines, remove the freedom and mobility of young people which removes an avenue for growth and maturity. Read more

I 100% agree with removing the bikelanes on main roads and the province playing a role in dictating where new ones are placed. Toronto lacks infrastructure for the current bike lanes and Toronto is becoming an unbearable city to get around. Read more

Bill 212 is a significant overreach of provincial authority. This measure contradicts continuously demonstrated benefits of essential cycling infrastructure. Studies repeatedly show that bike lanes ease congestion, reduce emissions, and have positive impacts on local business. Read more

Toronto has grown and the current infrastructure can’t accommodate the growing population. To remove a car lane when bikes can safely take side streets is irresponsible and not treating everyone fairly. Read more

Please leave the bike lanes where they are, or add more. I have a bike and a car, and I travel on Bloor on workdays from Runnymede to St George. I bike when I can, but however I travel, more bikes and safe bike lanes make for a smoother commute for everyone. Bike lanes are not the problem. Read more

Municipalities are better suited to making decisions about local roads and bike lanes than the province. This will make putting in bike infrastructure (which is desperately needed in this province) even more difficult and burden governments with meaningless busy work. Read more

I acknowledge and respect that municipalities are creatures of the province. However, I have significant concern regarding the proposal for the province to have the authority to approve the implementation of a bike lane, if it removes a lane of vehicle traffic. My concerns are: Read more

This is a ridiculous idea. We are in an era of dire climate change consequences; reducing bike lanes will not help us combat those negative consequences. Bikes will not disappear along with the bike lanes, rather they'll become part of the traffic. Read more

I am opposed to this bill. Let municipalities decide what’s best for them. Bicycle lanes are important to me, among other reasons because I commute to work by bicycle year-round and I like to feel safe doing so. Read more

Bike lanes are vital to our downtown core and getting people around safely and efficiently. We have loved our new bike lanes on Bloor, university, and Yonge and bike lanes are essential to freeing up gridlock and providing for businesses. Read more
