I believe it is incredulous that the province would follow through on this motion that is so clearly opposed by the people who live in the city and are affected by it. Read more

Bicycles do not need their own lane, especially when it is part of the war on the car, simply to add gridlock. When cyclists and motorists both follow the rules of the road, they co-exist on city streets.

Evidence from around the world has shown that removing bike lanes does not help to reduce traffic. Bill 212 goes against expert advice and will make commuting times longer for drivers. It will also significantly reduce safety on our streets. Read more

I live in Etobicoke, on Bloor between Kipling and Islington. I have waited two years for the completion of the Bloor bike lanes, only to have the province threaten to tear them out a season after they've finished. Read more

Bike lanes are valuable and should not be removed - they make Toronto liveable, provide needed protection for bikers, allow navigation throughout the downtown core. I oppose any reduction of bike lanes.

My life does not matter? Presently I ride to work along the Bloor protected bike lane from Jane to Sherbourne and then along the Sherbourne protected bike lane to King. I do this every working day of the year but active snow days. Read more

Please stop wasting my tax dollars. These bikes lanes are widely supported by myself and everyone I know in the area. Without them, bikes will continue to ride in the vehicle lanes which is much more inconvenient and dangerous for everyone. Read more

Please prioritize one of the many other pressing issues in our province. If you focused on public transport then we wouldn't have to worry about congestion. Please listen to the people who use them and will be footing the bill: citizens. Read more

Cyclist/driver/transit user here. Regarding the upgraded proposal - Removing bike lanes from Bloor/University/Yonge will likely result in cyclists still using these roads to commute. Read more

This will not reduce traffic! Cyclist will be on the road, driving slow if lanes are removed. This is going to kill people. What a waste of money to remove already built infrastructure. Bike lanes reduce traffic. Read more

There is simply no evidence to suggest removing bike lanes will help traffic. The reason traffic is bad in Toronto and will continue to get worse is that there are too many cars, and not enough alternatives to driving. Read more

Please do not remove the bike lanes in Toronto. It is discriminatory as not everyone can afford a car but more people can afford bikes. Removing bike lanes will endanger cyclists as well as pedestrians as the bike lanes provide a buffer between pedestrians and car lanes. Read more

Terrible idea. Are there any studies on the time spent in traffic if the bike lanes are removed? If it's only a minute or two, is that worth the return on investment that will be spent removing the lanes? Read more

Please provide the data and evidence to back up the proposed addendum. Bike lanes are for safety. If the lanes are removed, I and other bikers will be less safe. If the bike lanes are removed I and others will cycle with vehicular traffic.
