Please do not remove existing bike lane infrastructure! I rely on bike lanes to get to work and travel around the city safely. I do not feel safe biking on streets without bike lanes, because drivers are not looking for cyclists and I have had many close calls on roads without bike lanes. Read more

It is actually crazy that while the world is moving away from car-centric infrastructure, our Mayor of Ontario, Premier Ford, has decided that its his best interest to go away from the greener, safer form of transportation. Read more

I cycle to work twenty mins (each way) on the University line. I work in the financial district and University is one of the few options i have. As a busy father of two, the three and a half hours a week of cycling/commuting is sometimes the only exercise i get. Read more

Please do not remove bike lanes. They save lives. It's also a absolute waste of public money to remove infrastructure already built. I also see this as an overreach from the provincial government into municipal affairs. Read more

This legislation is baffling and dangerous. First, it's baffling legislation because it'll force cities to waste absurd amounts of money on tearing up bike lanes for no good reason, and because it'll add an extra, totally unnecessary layer of red tape. Read more

This is nonsense. Sure, Doug Ford's alternative lifestyle choice prevents him from biking, but for the rest of us not in his slovenly special interest group, bike lanes provide essential infrastructure. Read more

I strongly oppose Bill 212, as a Toronto resident who actively uses multiple modes of transportation, including driving, taking the TTC and GO Train, and biking. This legislation undermines the progress we’ve made toward creating a sustainable and equitable transportation system in our city. Read more

I would like to comment on the government's removal of bike lanes in the City of Toronto. First of all, the provincial government should not be micromanaging municipal issues, such as bike lanes. Read more

The provincial government should not be encroaching on the jurisdiction of municipalities, especially to limit Ontarian’s growing freedom of choice in the ways they travel. Bike lanes such as these, and all across the province, provide people safe and efficient ways to travel by bike. Read more

The proposal does not seem to consider the reality that cycling is a quick, convenient and affordable means of transportation that is being adopted by more and more people in our cities everyday. Read more

The bike lanes on Bloor, Yonge, University, etc. are useful routes for cyclist crossing the downtown core. Without them, bike travel for thousands of people would be more dangerous. Read more

Bike lanes are an integral part of Toronto and the surrounding area for cyclists, as well as those who cannot drive possibly due to ineligibility for a license or financial restrictions. Read more
