I strongly disagree with this proposal to remove bike lanes especially on arterial roads and especially new bike lanes. As bike lanes are slowly being implemented and connected for greater distances, newer cyclists of all ages are gaining confidence to cycle.

Bill 212
ERO number019-9266
I'm opposed to Bill 212.
As a driver in Toronto, I much prefer when bikes are out of the way of the lane and on their own lane. I don't have to worry about getting stuck behind someone with a max speed of 15km/h. Removing lanes is going to make my travel slower.

Bike lanes reduce traffic congestion and save lives. This is not a disputable fact and this is not a partisan issue. I'd rather see my government undergoing data-supported initiatives that enrich the lives of its citizens -- ALL of its citizens.

As a professional transportation engineer, I disapprove Bill 212. The policy lacks scientific evidence to ease congestion by means of bike lane removal. It contradicts industry best practices to promote multi-modal, sustainable transportation instead of prioritizing automobile.

Ever since getting an e-bike, I now spend 90% of my time traveling in the city by bike. The other 10% is on TTC when it's poor conditions to ride. I may take a car once or twice a year if I take an Uber.

I live in downtown Toronto and use bike lanes every day and frequently use the Bloor, Yonge and University lanes so removing them will reduce my safety.

I write to express opposition to Bill 212 in the strongest possible terms. I live in Toronto and rely on both cycling and public transportation infrastructure daily for all commuting needs.

What a simplistic, stupid, moronic proposal. Talk about overriding local democracy and governance by a paternalistic, micromanaging Premier - all the while ignoring evidence, expertise and good design. I've commuted by car for years - soul crushing being stuck in a tin can.

I do not support these bike lanes. I often have to take the bus and mount my bicycle because it is not safe to bike, and this puts strain on myself and needlessly slows my journey down.

I would like to register my thoughts about this Bill and sincerely ask the Government of Ontario not to push this through as it will impact on green solutions that can otherwise reduce car traffic in downtown Toronto.
Some points to consider:

Bike infrastructure is essential to building an transportation network that serves everyone in the community. Actively removing existing infrastructure that endangers the lives of cyclists in the name of convenience for automobiles is a backward form of thinking that doesn't have a place in 2024.

I'm against removing bike lanes as proposed. Sections of the infrastructure are incomplete and of course those areas will be underused until fully developed. Not everybody can afford a car or even pay for public transportation.

Regarding the scrapping of bike lanes; before you do this please take a look at Rotterdam vs Amsterdam. One of these cities implemented far going cycling and walking infrastructure while the other went the north American way and made more lanes for cars.
