I ride my bike to work everyday along the Bloor bike lane. Going west of Jane before the bike lane was put in I had a couple near misses with cars. If the bike lane is removed I’ll be forced to drive bc it’s too dangerous. Removing bike lanes will kill people and put more cars on the road.

Have any studies been done to determine the amount of people who drive vs the number of people who bike? Because this bill is highly favourable only towards making traffic slightly more convenient for those who drive.

Please get rid of bike lanes. We do not have climate to ride bikes all year. People drive cars, make more car lanes.
Open up greenbelt lands to development. Intensification creates more gridlock. Spread development out. We have the space. Most of these protected lands are not used for anything.
I am a car driver who lives in Hamilton, having moved from Toronto. I enjoy walking, driving my car and riding my bike. I want to feel safe in each of these ways of moving through the cities I live in.

Protected bike lanes that don’t need long, circuitous routes convinced me to switch to biking to work all year long, taking a car off those gridlocked streets. This proposal, if implemented, will make congestion worse.
Bike lanes save lives. They protect cyclists and make it easier for car drivers to share the road. They promote local business and make sidewalks safer for pedestrians. Biking is environmentally friendly and good for your physical and mental health.

I live in Waterloo and use bike lanes every day. I consider it part of my transportation. When there is no bike lane I still bike on the edge of the road but slow down drivers. At least once per week, I have a confrontation where a driver gets mad at me for being on the edge of the road.

I’m deeply disappointed about this proposed decision to remove bike lanes from much needed corridors in Toronto. Bike lanes are proven to prevent deaths and keep both drivers and cyclists safer. As a driver, I prefer dedicated bike lanes that allow me a clearer line of sight of cyclists.

Several issues with this proposal:
The amount of road construction in the city really causes gridlock - more construction to rip up bike lanes?!

Bike lanes are vital to making communities more livable. Keep the bike lanes and put in more. They keep cyclers safe, slow down traffic keeping everyone safer and encourage patronage of local shops.
I do not support Bill 212.
The money to be spent removing an extremely successful bike lane system is scandalous when we have so many other pressing needs, such as programs that address the affordability of housing, food, and medicine.

I don't think this makes much sense, we need to be looking to ways in which we can reduce carbon emissions while increasing methods of transportation that can be used by all people not solely those who can afford cars and the associated fees.

Well it’s about time! So tired of seeing empty bike lanes while sitting in horrible traffic congestion. So many, so many accidents in the news about cyclists getting hitting because they as passing a car on the right side while the car is turning right into a driveway.

Instead of spending money removing bike infrastructure (which reduces the number of cars on the roads), why doesn't the government invest MORE in bike infrastructure, thus further reducing the number of cars required on the roads as more people have the less expensive option to safely ride a bicycle

We need more bike lanes, not less. This bill aimes to put car drivers againist cyclists for political gain.
Climate change is real and will continue to affect us ongoing, past the next election. We need to reduce

I disagree with this proposal. I think the decision should rest with the people and local representatives elected to oversee transportation within that jurisdiction.

I think Doug Ford is acting irresponsible. Many, many individuals have been riding their bikes for years and finally feel safer now that we have specified lanes. It is unfortunate that Doug does not live with reality.
