I strongly oppose the removal of bike lanes or needing to get approval from the province for new bike lanes. This won't fix traffic, but will add safety issues for both cars and cyclists. Where do you want cyclists to ride? In front of cars? Read more

Hi, There is evidence that cycling lanes do not slow down traffic. See link below. Please put more thought into the design of the streets, intersections, and sidewalks. Toronto needs more complete streets to improve quality of life in high density areas. Read more

I strongly believe Bill 212 is not in the province's interests and is a large overstep of provincial jurisdiction in an area of decision making best left to municipalities. For this reason alone, it will lead to poor decision making and hurt Ontarians. Read more

Requesting permission from the government for street-level changes in municipalities will slow down development of better streets. Does the provincial government have the resources in place to review the flood of requests for removal and bike lanes additions across the province? Read more

I bike with my child everyday to school and work, removing the safety of bike lanes would force us back into cars, and increasing traffic, and increasing commute times. I am 100% against the removal of bike lanes

This is a terrible idea. Please don’t do this. Safe bicycling infrastructure has been shown to encourage more people to choose cycling, which is a non-polluting, healthy mode of transportation. Read more

Hi, I’ve been a resident of Toronto for almost my entire life. I grew up in Etobicoke and now live in Roncesvalles. I was very sad and disappointed to see our government wish to remove bike lanes in our province. Read more

The Provincial government has no business in municipal affairs! In addition, bike lanes save lives, and allow people to travel and commute in ways that are efficient and sustainable. Read more
