The challenge we face is not bike lanes. Instead it is too many cars on the road which is a result of the sprawl in the GTA. The only solution is to get some of those cars off of the road. The way to do this is by investing in more transit, bike lanes, and pedestrian infrastructure. Read more

Please don’t remove bike lanes on a whim; make evidence-based decisions using actual data; let cities determine what’s best for its local area just like you allow municipalities to determine if they’ll host a landfill or energy-producing resources. Read more

Cars are a very inefficient form of transportation, especially when each car has a single occupant. Cars themselves are the cause of gridlock, not bike lanes. Read more

It is absolutely devastating the Ontario government thinks this bill will have genuine benefit to the province. Building hwy 413 is not the answer. Taking away PROTECTED bike lanes is not the answer. We need MORE protected bike lanes, with guard rails to protect pedestrians, cyclists, AND drivers. Read more

This bill is ill-considered and foolish. It's going in the opposite direction of where transportation funds should be going. What a waste of tax money and provincial oversight. Do you have any idea how many fraudsters are making off with people's hard-earned housing deposits? Read more

Bicycle commuting is healthy, environmentally friendly, and space-efficient. The most successful, vibrant and tourist-friendly cities in the world have embraced bike lanes and cycling, as well as public transit. Read more

I do not agree with this bill. I think it is an absolute waste of taypayer money to remove existing bike lanes, and a huge overstep of provincial government to tell municipalities what they can and can not do with bike lanes, and other municipal matters. Read more

Bike lanes are important in this city and are not a provincial matter. As climate change continues to merge the seasons, more and more people will bike year-round and the easier it is, the more encouraging it will be. Climate change needs to be considered in every aspect of life at this time. Read more

I am strongly opposed to Bill 212. Bicycle lanes increase traffic flow through a given road rather than decrease it. Building a new 400-series highway is a waste of money which will not decrease traffic congestion. The money should be spent on public transportation instead. Read more

I live in Etobicoke. I drive a car and ride a bike and believe that the area needs more safe ways for cyclists to get around, as opposed to less. Bike lanes are the future. As Toronto continues to grow and become more dense, we need alternatives for transportation. Read more

Over and above providing safe mobility to wheelchair-users, bike lanes are 7 times more space efficient in transporting people than car lanes. (https://www.cycling-embassy.org.uk/dictionary/capacity) They are our solution to traffic congestion.

Grid lock is here to stay. Providing a safe alternative to using my car allows me to avoid getting stuck in traffic. I can cycle to appointments and events and arrive on time. Induced demand will negate any benefits that more roads will create. Read more

Bike lanes are good for drivers and cyclists. They have to be installed properly, there has to be capacity for disabled people to be able to disembark from a vehicle and cross a bike lane to get onto the sidewalk and enter a building. Read more
