The bike lanes on Bloor St. have got to go. I have to drive my husband regularly to a nursing station at Bloor and Keele, from Bloor and Royal York. I have to allow 40 minutes for what used to be a 10 minute trip. Frustrated drivers are switching to Dundas St., which is getting just as bad. Read more

I would like to express my disappointment of Bill 212 which is not founded on any factual based evidence that removing bike lanes will help "reduce traffic". Read more

What seems to be missing in this conversation is that bike riders are tax payers too. The government should stay out if municipal affairs. It is a sad day when our taxes once again are misused by this myopic climate denying government. Read more

This bill is atrocious and a complete over reach by the Government of Ontario. Why even have municipalities or public consultation when a higher level of government will just come in and over ride what the public has suggested anyways? Read more

Provincial involvement in city planning for city street congestion doesn't make sense. It occupies provincial government time and energy that should be spent on provincial infrastructure. Removing existing bike lanes and the cost associated with it also doesn't make sense. Read more

Can you invision a better future for Ontario than having motorists kill cyclists? Where people have access to different modes of transportation and choose what works best for them? Read more

This bill is dangerous for Ontarians. Schedule 2 tries to bypass vital environmental assessments of construction in the Greenbelt, a vital buffer zone for millions of people to minimize the impact of flooding which is projected to get more severe in coming years. Read more

Please keep in mind that the ONLY cause of gridlocks, congestions, traffic jams is number of cars. Removing bike lanes will brink more cars, will not solve the problem, rather take alternative means of moving around from people Read more

Removing bike lanes is an utterly wasteful use of taxpayer money, for something I use almost on a daily basis. It also causes no harm to drivers and as a driver myself, it helps me to see if there are cyclists when turning. Please do not remove the bike lanes. Read more

Bill 212 is a threat to road safety, local businesses and climate change. While the bill proposes a framework to tackle gridlock, its approach is not based in evidence and data. There is so much research that shows that bike lanes are not the cause of traffic congestion. For example: Read more

People who cycle are not secondary to car drivers. Cyclists commute times, safety, and access are not addressed here. How are cyclists supposed to travel to their destinations without bike lanes on main roads to get them there safely? Read more

Wasting millions of dollars to remove bike lanes are a stupid idea. Not only is it removing an affordable, environmentally friendly, and healthy way of getting around by bike but it also will never be enough space when it comes to gridlock in traffic. Read more

This is backwards thinking. Every major respectable city in the world has safe lanes for cyclists. This proposal takes us back decades and will see more traffic as cyclists go back to cars, and less safety for families who cycle, and will likely cause more people to die on our roads Read more

The new framework requiring provincial approval of bike lanes raises environmental and public health concerns. Bike lanes are essential for reducing emissions, improving air quality, and supporting active, healthy lifestyles. Read more
