This is such a ridiculous waste of time and money. Such overreach by the province to determine what the local residents need or want.
We need more bike lanes not less.
More protective bike lanes.
Not to waste money ripping out bike lanes that were just finished.

This is a colossal waste of time and taxpayer money to rip out bike lanes that have already been installed. It's also massive overreach by the provincial government on what should be municipal issues (and which were decided on by Toronto city councillors).

I oppose this proposal.
1. Removing existing bike lanes will waste tax money.
2. Removing bike lanes will not reduce traffic jams.
3. Removing bike lanes lets more people to drive.
4. Removing bike lanes will make bikers unsafe.
Hi,
I like cycling and not dying.
You should either update the legislation so that this can continue to happen for me or have your team vote NO to Bill 212.
Thanks?
This bill will increase gridlock and waste time and millions of dollars. The only solution to traffic is viable alternatives to driving. Making cycling less safe in order to make space for a handful more drivers on the roads is nonsense.

I am extremely disappointed to see bill 212 proposed by the ministry of transportation. The bill is a display of critical misunderstandings regarding the benefits and impacts of bike infrastructure in major Canadian cities.

Municipal roads should be the responsibility of the Municipality. This includes how they plan to use it whether they want to add speed bumps, traffic calming measures, bike lanes or increase/narrow the width.

Removing bike lanes will just create more congestion, accidents with bikes, and of course bad for the environment. Why would we go backwards when other progressive cities are actively adding more bike lanes??
I bike to work regularly and University, Bloor and Bay are essential corridors to get to where I need to easily. Cycling is a fantastic commute option as it is environment friendly, provides great exercise and is better for congestion than having everyone drive in cars.

This new policy on bike lanes is counterproductive. One new lane of cars doesn't fix traffic. This has been proven over and over since Robert Moses kept promising fixes in NYC in the '30s.

As someone who often drives around Toronto, I do no support removing bike lanes, especially on important corridors such as Bloor, University and Yonge. Driving with cyclists mixed in with regular car traffic is stressful and scary for all parties involved, and makes driving more difficult.

I use the bike lane on university regularly to commute to work and the bloor home semi-regularly. Removing them would make me meaningfully less safe and would cause me to drive more for short trips in the city.
Even when there were two lanes the traffic was bad. Cars create traffic they are stuck in, but bikes, walking, and transit can reduce by allowing people to not need to drive. Those that may have biked are now going have to drive, thus adding to traffic, not removing.

This proposal is a terrible decision. The number of cyclists is only low because of the poor average quality of bike infrastructure across the network. Looking at the rest of the world, it's obvious that bike infrastructure will be used heavily if it's well connected and high quality.

Ontario's current government is urging us to "Choose cleaner travel choices, such as public transit or bicycle", on their own website for climate change.

I oppose this bill.
The people of their municipalities paid for the lanes, now everyone has to pay to take them out. Just for some time in the future, I'm betting we will pay to put them back. The point of conservatives is to not spend money like liberals.

As a resident of Bloor West Village and avid cyclist, I have enjoyed the addition of the bike lanes along Bloor in the West End. However, there is ZERO need for bike lanes from South Kingsway/Jane, west to Islington (and beyond). The usage of those bike lanes is vanishingly small.
