This is a comment on my experience as a Resident of the City of Toronto - and use all options for transport available to me(car, ttc, go train, bicycle, cabs(uber/lyft)) to get around the city and conduct my affairs.

Please remove the bike lanes, it was a terrible change, a misguided use of resources, and whoever thought of it clearly was asleep on the job.

Please Do Not remove any bike infrastructure. I live in Toronto. I have owned a house here for over 40 years and I have been car Free for 15 years. I use my bike most days that weather allows.

Since the government is not respecting the decisions of city taxpayers and voters the government will need to budget to pay not only for the removal of lanes - but to reimburse the city budget for the years of research and public consultation that took place and also to replace them lane for lane on

Please do not remove bike lanes, it is a crucial piece of infrastructure we need to continue building for maintaining a better city with less congestion and an Improved ecological approach and to the city.

Bike lanes are proven around the work to help attract and retain a skilled, educated workforce, especially in advanced technology. They reduce congestion, support good health and encourage community-building. Restricting them is ridiculous; removing them is an insane waste of taxpayer money.

The use of bikes in the city reduces both traffic and emissions. It is important to keep bike infrastructure to encourage more safe cycling. It would be (yet another) waste of tax payer money by the city to remove already constructed infrastructure.

Ripping out existing bike lanes is a distraction and waste of money. Cars create congestion, bike lanes do not. More car lanes do not alleviate car congestion, more transit and bike lanes do.

The removal of bike lanes is literally SO dumb. Everything out there, every single policy recommendation out there, says that the actual way of reducing traffic is by ADDING other forms of transportation, and bike lanes are one of those!!!

I strongly oppose the proposal to decrease/remove bike lanes in the downtown core. Bike lanes don't cause traffic congestion; cars do - and there is plenty of research showing that the more car lanes and roads exist, the more cars there are using those roads.

I am STRONGLY OPPOSED to the changes proposed by Bill 212 regarding cycling infrastructure as they reinforce the idea that car is king within Ontario. The idea that the province can overrule municipal planning decisions is absurd and SHOULD NOT be passed.

RE: Bill 212 - Reducing Gridlock, Saving You Time Act, 2024
I live in Downtown Toronto and I own a car. I completely disagree with this proposal.
(1) Bike lanes reduce gridlock by allowing people to safely bike in their city instead of causing more gridlock by driving.

Bike lanes have been proven to reduce congestion in cities around the world. Ripping them out will increase congestion and pose a safety hazard to cyclists. There are also no side streets that parallel Bloor St. and Young St. of the lengths of the bike lanes.

I’m not sure how this can realistically be thought of as a sensible idea. STOP! Keep the bikes lanes, they are essential and biker safety matters. It’s a shame Ford cannot see that.
This Bill is outrageous. Removing bike lanes will hurt businesses along these streets and will needlessly put cyclists at risk. We need more bike lanes not less. The Bloor Annex BIA has released a statement about improved sales following the installation of the bike lanes on Bloor.

The best way to prevent gridlock is to keep cars off the road! Bike lanes make cycling a safe and realistic alternative to driving in the city. I use the Bloor bike lane to get to work and it has greatly increased the efficiency of this important corridor in our city.
This is a political move designed to play into Doug Ford's support base at the expense of Toronto, which he has a personal vendetta against. There is no data on his or his minister's findings, and he chooses to ignore the city's own findings and years of research.

Why are we spending tax payer money to destroy public infrastructure?? Why does the government want to discourage people from cycling and forcing more people to get into cars thereby causing even more congestion?
