Hi, as both a biker and driver in Toronto, I’m writing to express my concern about the removal of bike lanes. Without the bike lanes, bikers will have to bike on roads, which also in some ways slow down the traffic.

Hello, please do not remove the bike lanes on Bloor St., Yonge St., and University Ave. in the City of Toronto and to return them to a lane of traffic.

Adding an additional layer of bureaucracy could potentially delay projects, thus increasing costs for municipalities and deterring smaller jurisdictions from investing in cycling infrastructure. This bill will add even more costs to infrastructure development.
This bill will do nothing to alleviate traffic in Toronto. As a resident of the Annex for the past 10 years and someone who has living in Toronto since birth, I absolutely want the bike lanes to stay. Toronto needs these bike lanes.

This is clearly a matter for individual municipalities as they deal with unique traffic concerns. The province should focus its attention on other issues.
STRONGLY opposing to this. Bikes are my and a lot of torontonian’s primary mode of commute particularly due to TTC inefficiency in this city. Keep the bike lanes, it saves lives. especially in light of the spike of # cyclist deaths this year.
I truly hope the government looks at the data and the consultation documents before ripping up the bike lanes. If one looks at the documents, removing bike lanes does not make any sense. Creating policies based on feelings is not good!
I oppose any provincial legislation that will restrict or remove any municipal bicycling infrastructure. My concern arises from my belief that such actions will reduce cycling safety, and reduce progress toward reducing greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution.

When I learned about Bill 212 – Reducing Gridlock, I realized it could impact my commute to school and work. I understand the challenges of rush-hour congestion, but it’s important to recognize that many cyclists also rely on this specific bike lane.

The specific targeting of 3 different Toronto bike lanes that have all been constructed is awful. Wasting more resources by reversing decisions the City of Toronto has made is wasteful and ignorant to the needs of the local residents that use the roads everyday.

I am 100% opposed to this bill. Removing bike lanes and restricting the construction of new ones will not have a significant beneficial effect on motor vehicle traffic.

1 There are no studies or surveys that support the removal of bike lanes.
2 There is evidence based research that increasing road space for motor reduces traffic congestion. Counter intuitive, but a fact.

Would you please focus on public transit, instead or removing zero-emission alternatives to cars?!
If you want to ease traffic congestion - FIX THE TTC AND THE CROSSTOWN!
LEAVE THE BIKE LANES WHERE THEY ARE!! And look at adding MORE.
What is this actually about?
We have record immigration, under funded public transit, urban sprawl and we're focusing on REDUCING alternate forms of transportation?

This bill is not based on any evidence, proper metrics, or recorded statistics of any kind.
As a lifelong Ontarian, I expect a few things from the Progressive Conservative party, that I believe the Premier and Transportation Minister would agree with:
- A careful eye on government budget.
