Provincial governments shouldn't be adding red tape and unnecessary bureaucracy that slows down local efforts to expand transportation options. I use bike lanes every day and see them as essential infrastructure, just like sidewalks.

This is a ridiculous proposal which is not in the interest of commuters, the environment, or affordability. Removing bike lanes will not improve traffic and will make for more cars on the road.

Removing bike lanes will be more disruptive to traffic and will cost a lot of money that could be spent improving public transit and encouraging less cars.
It is CARS that cause congestion.
Numerous studies prove the only way to really reduce gridlock long-term is to reduce the numbers of vehicles. Better transit and active transportation infrastructure is the only way to do this. Traffic will expand to fill the space allotted for it.

Removing sections of the Bloor Street, Yonge Street, and University Avenue bike lanes in the City of Toronto and return them to a lane of traffic for motor vehicles is wrong. It has been proven over and over again, that adding new lanes to streets doesn't relieve congestion.

To whom it may concern,
As a frequent driver into and around Toronto for the past 20 years, I'm extremely disappointed to hear about the reduction of bike lanes.

I strongly oppose the proposed bill to remove bike lanes that I use daily for commuting. These lanes provide a safe, efficient, and healthy alternative for travel, reducing the need for cars and alleviating congestion.

incredibly misguided to think removing these bike lanes will help traffic. the logic of one more lane doesn't work. not allowing the city to make decisions as important as this undermines democracy
I am strongly opposed to the city removing any bike lanes. There is an existing cost of living crisis and housing crisis ongoing, one major expense most Canadians endure is vehicle payment and insurance. Bike lanes allow a low cost alternative to driving for navigating the city.

The proposed removal of bike lanes in Toronto under Premier Doug Ford's administration is a concerning move that could have far-reaching negative consequences for the city and its residents.

I use the bike lanes in Toronto to get to and from work and see lots of people using them, including the university and Yonge st bike lanes. I also use them when travelling around the city to meet friends. This law will make it harder for me to travel in the city safely and cheaply.

I support more bike lanes. Bike lanes make our city safer, create more transportation options that do not pollute the air and contribute to climate change. More bikes equals less traffic on major arteries, as biking is a safer option more people will do it.

I am writing to share my concerns with the proposed Bill 212, "Reducing Gridlock, Saving You Time Act, 2024". As a resident of Ottawa, I am strongly opposed to this proposed bill and urge the provincial government and urge for its withdrawal, for several reasons:

We need bike lanes, and this bill directly affects the implementation and growth of them. Too reduce gridlock, removing bike lanes and widening existing motorist lanes will not help the issue, it will only have it grow worse.
