As a regular car driver, commuter, and downtown resident I strongly support retaining all the current bike paths on Bloor, University, and Yonge. Bike paths have made life on these streets so much nicer. Improved pedestrian experience, safer store access, and a better street look and feel. Read more

Look at any world class city, London, Paris, New York and you’ll see the majority of vehicles driving in the core are service vehicles with trades people, delivery vehicles and taxis. Those who live in the city don’t drive and those who live outside don’t dare to drive in. Read more

There is no evidence to support the claim that removing bike lines improves traffic. And there is plenty of evidence that this move will lead to higher rates of injury and death for bikers and pedestrians. I'm a driver who frequently drives down Bloor St and I do NOT support this legislation at all. Read more

You have to be kidding with this. You think this will actually do anything to solve traffic? You are just putting people’s lives at risk. Bike lanes are an essential part of a modern city, it’s an absolute disgrace to try to set us back 20 years with policies like this. Read more

I oppose any provincial interference with installation of bike lanes on municipal roads. This includes removing sections of the Bloor Street, Yonge Street, and University Avenue bike lanes in the City of Toronto. Removal is a waste of resources and I oppose this move. Read more

These lanes contribute to health, safety and environment. They cost money to install and have begun changing the way our city moves. Numbers of cyclists are increasing. I bike now where 2 years ago I drive because it finally feels safe. Read more

I see this as a gross overstep of the provincial government. This is a municipality issue that the Ontario government should have no authority over. This should be tabled as part of municipal Toronto elections and discussion. My conservative morals value less government overreach not more. Read more

I’m deeply concerned about the proposed changes in Bill 212 that would remove bike lanes on major streets like Bloor, Yonge, and University in Toronto. These bike lanes have transformed the city for so many people, making biking a viable, safe alternative to driving. Read more

I am concerned by a number of items in the proposed act that appear to run roughshod over established noms of consultation, rights to appeal and environmental obligations. Read more

Why is Doug Ford running Toronto?? Torontonians don't like him and did not vote for him! We voted for Olivia Chow and we like the decisions she makes. LEAVE THE BIKE LANES ALONE!! Get the LRT on Eglington built !!! HANDS OFF TORONTO FORD

I support data based decisions whether it is for bike lanes or anything else. I do not see any supporting information on your site. Until I see such information, I support the bike lanes based on articles I have read. See links below. If you have new information, please share. Read more

I work in film. It's impossible to film downtown now as bike lanes have made parking and traffic impossible. Del Toro says he's not coming back here because of it. He's not the only one. Film productions are leaving and won't come back unless this is fixed. Read more

I am writing to express my strong opposition to the proposed removal of bike lanes in our community. As a frequent cyclist, I rely on these lanes for safe travel, and I am deeply concerned about the potential consequences of their removal. Read more
