Thank you for the opportunity to comment on Bill 212. I am a taxpayer in the City of Toronto and Province of Ontario. I am also a motorist in the City of Toronto and Province of Ontario. I drive regularly on Yonge Street, Bloor Street and University Avenue as well as Highways 401 and 407. Read more

Why is the bike lane bill being used to hide other insidious, untold changes? Provide the public with all the info and keep them informed. Don't hide behind "Bike lanes". Two. Unfinished bike lanes not having bikers makes sense, they need to be finished. Read more

There is little to no evidence that bike lanes increase congestion. There is much evidence that bike lanes increase safety. If you really want to improve traffic flow on streets such as Bloor, remove the on-street parking. Read more

As a Toronto resident, I do not support this proposal. I do not support the removal of bike lanes along Bloor Street, Yonge Street, and University Avenue. I do not support granting the province the authority to establish a review process on other existing bike lanes. Read more

Bill 212 is completely illogical. It will waste excessive amounts of money. Both by undoing projects that municipalities (the people who actually live in the area) already decided they wanted, and by needlessly increasing the bureaucracy and paperwork required to complete new bike lane projects.

I am not a bike rider, but I totally oppose this bill, for many reasons First as a tax payer, I don't approve you use my money to rip out a project that we already spent thousands of dollars on . Again my tax money. Read more

This is, in effect, a mini-omnibus bill, one that deviates from its initial prospectus and now is being used by the Conservative government as a cultural wedge issue (if this deluded, risible disdain for bike lanes that numerous Conservatives have can be even referred to as such), while still mainta Read more

Our apartment overlooks Bloor Street at the Humber River so we get to see the gridlock caused by the bicycle lanes. During the morning rush "hour" (8 AM through 9:30 AM) and the evening rush hour (3:30 through 6:30 PM) the traffic is solid across the Humber bridge and moving very slowly. Read more

The amendment will increase red tape, and hurt the environment. Cutting bike lanes won’t save anyone time, it will kill people and increase travel time as people drive more. Please reconsider this bill, and cancel it.

This is decision is regressive and archaic. The city needs varied and inclusive infrastructure options for residents and visitors. Not to mention that bike lanes enhance safety for its users. Read more

As a Torontonian we need bike lanes in the downtown core to get around safely. Removing the bike lanes won't stop cyclists from riding downtown, it will just make it more dangerous for them. This legislation will put people's lives in danger if pushed through, it must be reconsidered.

Please do not remove bike lanes. Our high school student travels to school from Brock to Bathurst every day via bike. It promotes her health and gives her autonomy. Having myself been doored on Dundas where there are no bike lanes, she wouldn't be riding her bike without a safe bike lane. Read more

I am a nurse and have worked in critical care and in the emergency department. Toronto has seen 6 cyclists killed in Toronto this year. Studies indicate that bike lanes significantly reduce the severity of injuries sustained by cyclists. Read more
