I am 73 years old. I have been bicycling on the streets of Toronto since I moved here at age 10. I bike between 1000 and 2000 kilometres a year. The addition of bike lanes in Toronto has made my life significantly safer. It has also increased the revenue of many business along the routes. Read more

The proposal to tear out Toronto’s bike lanes isn’t just shortsighted—it’s a reckless disregard for human life. Bike lanes are not “nice-to-haves” or optional; they are lifesaving infrastructure that stands between our loved ones and fatal traffic collisions. Read more

I strongly oppose the proposal to rip up existing bike lanes in Toronto. Removing these bike lanes will make our roads more congested and less safe for cyclists. This would be.a huge waste of taxpayer resources. Read more

I agree that recent bike lanes (Bloor West extension in particular) were poorly, conceived, designed and executed. The traffic times and gridlock have increased dramatically (disaster when the TTC is shut down which it frequently is) and the lanes are very little used. Read more

Why is this conservative government so focused on Toronto? It’s inappropriate and short sighted. I don’t like this proposal, stay outside of your jurisdiction and provide support for all of Ontario like it’s your job!!

This isn’t just a bad idea—it’s a deadly one. Removing bike lanes is a reckless gamble with people’s lives, plain and simple. We’re trading safety and progress for more gridlock and tragedy. How many more lives need to be lost before we stop putting cars over people? Read more

I’m very worried about my children’s safety on a bike. Please do the following if you actually want to remove safe lanes. 1. Educate drivers that bikes will have to take the full lane, and should not be passed 2. Ensure bikes have a path across railways and busy streets Read more

Excellent proposal. As an Etobicoke resident I was involved with the Bloor West (Jane to Kipling) public consultation since day one. It was a farce, everyone knew that that the decision was already made. The forced implementation was a disaster. Read more

I agree that bike lanes that remove a lane of traffic should not be allowed. There is a new bike lane on Dan Leckie Way that has just been installed. It has taken away one lane for cars turning right or going straight. Read more

This is insane, dangerous and pointless busy work. This would not help congestion, it's been shown time and time again that bike lanes improve congestion! Literally the most worthless thing to spend money on right now, I'm flabbergasted this was even put forward.

I use these bike lanes weekly. Without them I will take the lane and more people will drive. There will be a significant negative effect on the environment and on human health if these bike lanes are removed.

Please do not rip out existing bike lanes. The cost (especially when our hospitals are so under funded) seems totally illogical, and it would create construction congestion for a long time. I feel safer driving around cyclists when they have their own lanes.

As a conservative voter, I am disappointed and angry with the continued provincial overstep in the managing of small municipal matters. You've done a great job on the big stuff like ramming through the Ontario line (please do so again - Toronto needs more mass transit) but bill 212 is just silly. Read more

This is an absolutely abysmal proposal. There is no evidence that removing cycling lanes will reduce gridlock, it will only serve to make many vulnerable people unsafe. Read more

I strongly oppose this bill as it will increase the risk to my safety while cycle commuting everyday. This Bill is an unprecedented step backward in urban transportation. Please do not remove any existing bike lanes in the city of Toronto. Read more
