As an individual who has travelled extensively through Europe, I have seen the importance of Bike Lanes to improving pollution and individual fitness. More importantly, the research shows that within 2-3 years after a new highway lane has been constructed, gridlock returns to it's previous levels. Read more

I use all three of these bike lanes regularly. This will make me less safe, more likely to drive, and slow down my commute. Stop pandering for cheap votes using things that are proven to be exclusively negative. Read more

This CANNOT happen. Bike lanes are an essential part of tens of thousands of Torontonians' commute every day. More would take bikes if there was MORE investment in building safer bike lanes. How does shoving bikers onto the road, or forcing those bikers to drive instead improve congestion???? Read more

How much taxpayer money will go to removing these bike lanes, used by thousands of riders every day? Which study did the government use to inform and justify the decision to do so? How will road safety be impacted, by all road users? What do the BIAs think of this maneuver? Read more

Bill 212’s framing of bike lanes as a cause of traffic congestion is misleading and appears to be an attempt to sow division rather than address the real causes of gridlock. Read more

Hi again, I’ve commented on the previous bill or whatever this is. You clearly have no consideration for people who live within the city. Or people of Lower income who rely on biking and safe sidewalks to move through their neighbourhoods. Read more

This is a joke, right? Is there seriously legislation being pushed through that is intended to remove bike lanes that have already been built in the city of Toronto? Read more

This proposal is rooted in ill-informed decision-making. Removing already existing bike lanes is a waste of taxpayer dollars and goes against logic. Cyclists will always exist and removing bike lanes will not stop people from cycling on main streets. Read more

I forgot to mention in my previous comment that I think that without clear answers to the previously submitted questions, I would say that this proposal is a waste of time, money, government resources, increases "red tape," and is based on no evidence. Read more
