I am a cyclist and I use the bike lanes from Greenwood and Danforth and down Avenue Rd/University Ave to the financial core. I have done this 152 times this year. Read more

I am deeply opposed to this bill. Bike lanes are integral to creating a healthful urban environment, in line with Ontario’s Environmental Bill of Rights. They promote safer, more sustainable transportation options, reduce pollution, and benefit public health. Read more

There is no reason to increase red tape or bureaucracy than it already has. I use bike lanes everyday and have recently signed up for the BikeTO programs due to increase in bike lanes. Read more

This bill is such a silly waste of time and money, and ignores decades of precedent and evidence showing that bike infrastructure reduces car traffic by providing a safe, viable, alternative mode of transportation. Read more

I am fully supportive of bike lanes on SIDE streets, NOT on main roads where an entire lane for a car has been removed to accommodate a bike lane. Further, bike lanes are valuable in downtown Toronto where there is a high concentration of cyclists. Read more

Bike lanes should be focused on and not removed. Safety for vulnerable cyclists should be prioritized. As someone who drives in addition to using bike lanes for myself, I feel that it is much safer to have a separate lane for bikers regardless of which mode of transport I am currently using.

This is an absolute embarrassment. It is objectively detrimental to traffic flow and goes directly against the (demonstrably false) claims that Conservatives are fiscally responsible and pro small government. Read more

I do not support this bill. Cities should be free to decide what is best for their residents, and to give them whatever transportation choices those residents want. ALL transportation choices need to be safe. Read more

After living in the city for more than 50 years, I was so happy to see a central system (Yonge, Bloor and University) of bike lanes that made travel by bike much safer. The bike lanes have cut my husband’s travel time to work in half because he now bikes to work regularly. Read more

I strongly oppose Bill 212. It represents a massive overreach of the provincial government's power. The province should not be stepping in and blocking construction of or removing bike lanes in cities, as they are valuable transportation infrastructure. Read more

I strongly oppose Bill 212 and the proposal to remove dedicated bike lanes in an attempt to "speed up automobile flow." This measure undermines both local governance and practical urban planning. Here are my primary concerns: Read more

This Bill is the single worst piece of proposed legislation I have ever come across in Canada. Bike lanes are essential transportation infrastructure for a significant and growing portion of the population, especially in Toronto. Read more

This will not work, it has been shown countless times that bike lanes ease traffic, bike lanes provide an alternative in a city dependant on one form of transportation, cities are changing so does transportation everyone must adapt to the changing climate even if it means letting go of cars for a mo Read more

Bike lanes save lives and reduce traffic congestion and Green House Gas emissions. They let drivers get where they are going faster and cyclists to get where they are going more safely. Gridlock is due to poor infrastructure planning- not enough transit and not enough bike lanes. Read more
