As a driver and resident close to Bloor street, I prefer having bike lanes on Bloor. My neighbourhood is more vibrant, the cars no longer race down the street, passing cyclists is easy because they have their own lane, and the street is safer for families.

As a health care worker on University Ave that relies on the bike lanes to get to work this is highly dissapointing. Not to mention the amount of construction we had to deal with with the installation of these lanes in the first place and the amount of money this costed the city.

No matter where people stand on prioritizing driving vs alternative modes of transportation, this is an incredible overreach by the Province into municipal affairs.
I am strongly opposed to this new legislation. I am primarily a driver but have changed many of my trips to downtown to cycling because of the safe and efficient bike routes added.

As a senior citizen in Etobicoke with a disability I am not able to use the bike lanes where I live. I am 78 years old and am a primary caregiver for my husband who has Parkinsons Disease.

Anyone who lives in Toronto knows that Bike lanes are not the cause of the traffic congestion. Bike lanes actually ease congestion. I can travel to downtown Toronto in a safe and faster way as a result of the bike lanes.

I use bike lanes in Toronto to get around safely and efficiently. I often have my kids with me. It will not be safe without the bike lanes so I will go back to driving my car and add to vehicle traffic.

This proposed bill goes against current research on reducing urban gridlock. It also impacts bike safety by reducing space for cyclists. It minimizes opportunity for healthy exercise which benefits physical and mental wellbeing and reduces health care costs.

As someone who walks, TTCs, drives and bikes around Toronto, this is incredibly short sighted and spiteful. I regularly drive the QEW to Mississauga. It's always congested. Yet there are no bike lanes there. Removing bike lanes will not relieve congestion in the GTA.

I'm a paramedic who lives in the city I work. I don't own a car and have been able to afford an amazing biking lifestyle including personal travel to other regions with the consequence to other of one less moving pedestrian struck box on the roads.

The recent amendment of Bill 212 to require the City of Toronto to provide support to facilitate the removal of bike lanes, as well as the exemption to by-pass the Environmental Assessment Act, is unwarranted and dangerous.

Wow. Of all the stupid ideas this government has brought forward, this is literally the crowning jewel - the most stupid. This is a turd wrapped in shit, floating in a bowl of diarrhea.

I’m not sure why somebody at a desk in Toronto feels like they know better about a street in Sudbury than the people who actually live on that street. Let the duly elected city/town councils make the decisions. That’s why we vote for them.
