Removing existing bike lanes is a terrible idea. Bike lanes don't cause congestion, cars cause congestion. If you want to reduce congestion, then reduce the number of cars on the road. Bike lanes help with this by providing an alternative to cars.

I am a car owner and driver living downtown in Toronto. I commute out in to the suburbs every work day, over 400 km and about 10 hours a week. If such a bill would help anyone it would be me. Yet, I find this proposal nothing but offensive in so many ways. Read more

I am against this proposal. Bike lanes on Bloor, Yonge and University are daily used, and I would rather take my bike than my car. Thank you for keeping this city safe for all and sustainable.

Respectfully, this bill is very much a step backwards in the grand scheme of making Ontario a better place to travel. Inducing more citizens to be reliant on the automobile to get around for daily trips is not going to save everyone time and money. Read more

I do not like this proposal for various reasons: 1. Having the provincial government intervening on municipal issues slows down progress that can be made in developing bike infrastructure in Toronto. It's an unnecessary bureaucratic step meant to halt progress within the city. Read more

I strongly oppose Bill 212, as it represents a significant step backward for cyclists and active transportation advocates across Ontario. Removing bike lanes will compromise the safety of cyclists and discourage the use of environmentally friendly modes of transportation. Read more

I once tried to bike around Eglinton, Dufferin and Bathurst. I did not use the bike lanes on Eglinton as they are incomplete but I passed through the streets. However, those streets did not have any painted roads for bikes thus I did not continue biking as I felt unsafe. Read more

As a driver I’m happy to support a cities decisions to build dedicated bike lanes in whichever density they choose. Cycling is a valued mode of transportation that contributes to community development along with local economic growth.

A comment about the proposed removal of bike lanes in the city of Toronto. I believe that the removal on the any bike lane, but in particular the Bloor bike lane would be detrimental to the city of Toronto for the following reasons. 1. It would hurt businesses. Read more

Ridiculous idea to remove these bike lanes! Valuable to tons of people, beyond what the census data indicates, and will only become more prevalent. Unimaginable to take out bike lanes along bloor, yonge, etc., especially in the downtown core.

The need for bike lanes in Toronto, especially on Bloor, Yonge, and University, should not be decided upon by provincial legislators who spend little time commuting in the Toronto downtown core. They are commuting in from their respective areas like Brampton, North York, etc. Read more

Numerous studies say that providing more lanes for traffic actually increases congestion. Better people/traffic flow is with better public transit and non-car options (like bikes). Please don't make this mistake Read more

This is beyond ridiculous, adding bureaucracy is one thing, but actively ripping out newly constructed infrastructure is abhorrent. What a waste of my tax dollars. Driving is unreliable and slow unless if you live where our premier lives. Read more

Please do not do this. Let cities and towns decide for themselves how to design their streets, and how to handle traffic. This allows for diversity of thought and experimentation throughout the province, so that good ideas can be tried, and bad ideas can be seen. Read more
