We should be building more bike lanes, not less. More transit, not more highways. When we propritize the most expensive, least space efficient mode of transit, driving, then we are prioritizing an increase of car traffic. Read more

I strongly oppose Bill 212, Reducing Gridlock, Saving You Time Act. Limiting bike lanes in this way is a step backward for urban mobility - not only in the City but for the province as a whole. As both a cyclist and a motorist, I understand the importance of effective congestion relief policies. Read more

The provincial government has no place hindering municipalities' creation of bike lanes or even thinking about removing this essential city infrastructure. This is infrastructure that saves lives and saves the environment. Read more

This proposal is significant government overreach. Decades of consultations from residents, businesses, and road users have been studied extensively- Bloor St more than any other bike lane in the history of North America. Read more

Removing bike lanes is a shortsighted decision for the following reason: Bike lanes are good for business They’re good for the environment They’re good for public and personal health They give us freedom and mobility Bike lanes save lives

I am writing to express my strong opposition to Bill 212, specifically the portions that propose the removal of bike lanes. Reducing gridlock should not come at the expense of cyclist safety; in fact, it should be the other way around. Read more

This is a ridiculous intrusion on the planning needs of municipalities. Municipalities need to make the choices best suited to their regions, and this imposes needless red tape to what is inherently a local matter. Read more

As a newcomer, I was impressed on how well Toronto is doing about increasing its bike lane network, there are very good bike lanes that inspire more people to ride a bike to more places. Read more

While I appreciate the effort to alleviate traffic congestion, this is not a productive way of approaching and addressing the issue. Bicycles are an important part of urban mobility and will only create more traffic, injuries, and fatalities if the bike lanes are removed. Read more

Can you please focus on provincial priorities and leave this bike lane stuff alone? I'd like a family doctor, not spending money to rip up bike lanes where there is actual data that demonstrates bike lanes are good for people, businesses, and congestion. Read more
