I would like to point out to the Ministry that bike lanes on the streets mentioned: Bloor, Yonge and University use lane space NOT designated for travel, that is, the lanes designated for parking. Parking is by definition, NOT TRAVEL. Read more

Please please don’t do this. My son and my husband are daily cyclists. (Even in the winter!). We can’t afford a car and the transit isn’t reliable. You are elected to represent all of Ontario, even Toronto cyclists. Read more

No!!! No no no. Removing bike lanes is absolutely ridiculous. Do your research, more cycling infrastructure means LESS gridlock. Adding more car lanes INCREASES cars and INCREASED gridlock. This is insanity. Read more

I am against Ontario Bill 212 (Reducing Gridlock, Saving You Time Act, 2024) for several critical reasons. The proposal to remove bike lanes as a means of reducing traffic congestion is fundamentally flawed and unsupported by evidence. Read more

Doug Ford and his government should focus their attention on condos that are being built and then abandoned by their developers, the gridlock related to trying to get building permits to build coach / laneway houses and garden suites, the failure to keep safe injection sites opening leading to more Read more

Do not rip out these bike lanes. Visit any European city and you will see how bike lanes make cities better: more accessible, less crowded, less polluted. Transit in Toronto is miserable. Read more

I am writing to state what is obvious and factual. The Province's proposed legislation (Bill 212) flies in the face of all research on gridlock and urban planning to reduce carbon emissions. Read more

This is despicable. Trying to bypass environmental law. Trying to union bust. Trying to dismantle well documented infrastructure that makes transportation within cities better faster and safer. All to pander to voters and car owners. Read more

Bill 212 couldn't be a further step backward for the province of Ontario and a decision that will reduce the quality of life in Canada's biggest city and across the province as we see the premier creating problems where they don't exist while not tackling the significant issues with major infrastruc Read more

Completely support the bill and removing these bike lanes. They have increased our commute by 40% while they remain mostly empty 98% of the time even during warm seasons. Read more

Removal of bike lanes will not reduce congestion. The volume of cars and motor vehicles create congestion. A single lane reclaimed will not reduce the volume of motor vehicles. Read more

Spending huge amounts of money to remove bike lanes will not help with traffic flow. The bikes will now be in car lanes causing cars to go slower. Since the bike lanes were added on Bloor, I have found driving BETTER than before they were there. Read more

I live in the downtown core and I see that the bikes lanes are being used daily by commuters. The University bike lanes and some of the only north/south bikes lanes available. The bikes lanes with barriers have created safer cycling. Read more

Please reconsider this proposal. Toronto should be allowed to make its own decisions on where bike lanes exist. This is overstepping on the part of the provincial government. Read more
