Removing bike lines from these streets will not reduce traffic congestion. This is a terrorist attack on the City of Toronto and on cyclists by the Premier. He needs to go.
I biked as a kid in Ottawa and loved it and as a working adult, used it to get to work as well as run errands. I could have been killed due to driver attitudes more than once. Bikes are one of the best inventions in human history and should be valued and protected.

Please do not tear apart the existing bike lanes on major roads. I rely on these lanes to get to work everyday, it will not fix the traffic issue.

Why are we trying to waste money in order to downgrade our transit infrastructure? Replacing bike lanes with car lanes isn't gonna make traffic better; it's gonna make it worse. Where are the cyclist gonna bike with no bike lane? Oh, that's right, in the car lanes!

absolutely TERRIBLE proposal. Cars SHOULD NOT GET PRIORITY over micro mobility like bikes in dense cities. its already hard enough to get anywhere in city with chronically underfunded/underdeveloped public transit and CARS ARE NOT THE SOLUTION - MICRO MOBILITY IS!
Expanding the bike network and public transit is the only way to reduce gridlock, need to get more people out of cars and into alternative ways of transport. Removing existing bike infrastructure is going backwards in time and will be a great mistake.
This is completely unnecessary and would strip bikers of the few bike lanes they use to get around the city. Toronto bike lanes are also already small as is, they wouldnt be large enough to provide another whole lane.

I live in North York and have been commuting downtown on a bicycle for almost two decades. Bikes REDUCE traffic. You should applaud every cyclist on the road, since that's one less car clogging your precious path.

This is a ridiculous bill.
We are expecting Toronto to be a role model for other cities in terms of humanizing urban areas.
Now, the government is just complying to the americanized unsuccessful standard of cities for cars.
Upon reading this bill, the section about removing existing bike lanes and adding red tape to create new ones that take away a lane would greatly impact my personal safety and finances.

This will make Toronto into a third world city with more traffic, less choice for commuters and if cyclists won’t bike, more of them will drive and add to the traffic congestion. It’s a proven engineering principle called induce demand.
I am writing to express my deep frustration with the recent proposal outlined in Bill 212 - Reducing Gridlock, Saving You Time Act, 2024, particularly the framework regarding bike lanes that necessitates the removal of existing traffic lanes.

The best way to reduce gridlock is to get more people out of their cars and into other modes of transportation like bikes and public transit. This bill is ridiculous and I strongly oppose it.

To get rid of the bike lanes in downtown Toronto makes life for folks who live here more dangerous for bikers, pedestrians and drivers. Without dedicated lanes, bikers will either endanger themselves by biking with car traffic or endanger pedestrians by biking on sidewalks.

I was hit by a car three years ago which did damage to my spine. Bike lanes could have prevented this. There are more people biking these days than there have been in recent history, and the numbers are just rising. Don't take away people's best option for commuting and staying fit at the same time.
Cyclists have only ever helped reduce gridlock and should not be punished for an issue created by too many cars. By removing bike lanes this easily, many cyclists will be forced to unsafely cycle with cars and will loves their lives as a result of this dangerous decision.

This move makes no sense. As a person who both bikes and drives on university Avenue the addition of the bike lanes has made driving BETTER not worse. The issue has always been parking and stopping during rush hour and bikes having to doge in and out. With the separated bike lanes that's gone.
