I Support this Bill. Bike lanes built to pander to a few at the expense of increasing vehicle travel time is insane.
Case in point is the ongoing construction between Sheppard Ave W & Yonge St - Sheppard Ave E & Bayview Ave (https://maps.app.goo.gl/Xw2xBLtzxGRLmdRW7 ).

This proposal is nonsensical in a climate disaster. Generations of Ontarians will have to live with the consequences of pulling transit options out of balance and eliminating safe alternatives to car commuting in our communities.

As a taxpayer, lifelong resident of Ontario, a long-term resident of Toronto, a pedestrian, cyclist, transit user and driver, I have extensive experience getting around this city on all available forms of transportation, unlike, frankly, many of the MPPs in the Ontario legislature.

bike lanes are necessary for me as someone who doesn’t own a car (and Ontario is making it difficult for me to afford one) and relies on safe transportation to get to school, work, restaurants, shopping, errands, and anything else.

The components of this bill that aim to remove bike lanes in dense urban areas has no basis in fact or the fundamentals of urban and transportation planning.

Do not remove the bike lanes on Bloor, Yonge, and University.
We need these lanes to stay safe from cars, and since these roads will be used anyway for cycling whether there are bike lanes or not, it will only increase the danger for everyone using these roads.
I am firmly opposed to Ontario Bill 212 (Reducing Gridlock, Saving You Time Act, 2024) for several important reasons. The idea of removing bike lanes to reduce traffic congestion is fundamentally flawed and lacks supporting evidence.

I support this bill to review/remove bike lanes on some of Toronto's big arteries, such as Bloor St. West and University Avenue. In Bloor West, many of us refer to the Bloor bike lanes as the "Uber lanes," as delivery people are usually the only bikes (or e-bikes) sporadically using the lanes.

Rush hour for cars and rush hour for cyclist happen at different times due to the time it takes and the speeds they travel. So counting bicycles during automobile rush hours, or on incomplete bike routes that have yet to connect to the main network is selling the city short.

City’s keeps spending money on widening roads to ease congestion but studies contradict this.
Induced demand because of road capacity affects congestion more than bike lanes.

This is a horrible bill and should not be passed. Listen to the experts. Bike lanes save lives, improve business in the areas and promote ways to reduce the grid lock. This bill has no common sense. If you want to improve grid lock provide transit alternatives that work.

At any given time, a single lane’s purpose should be to move the maximum of people. The most people that it’s capable of moving, the more gridlock it resolves.

The Vison Zero was created for Toronto by former mayor John Tory. This was created to have zero deaths of pedestrians and cyclists. Consultations were done locally to ask where the bike lanes should be. Local citizens know what is safe in their area.

This is very regressive and unnecessary, if the government was serious about tackling traffic congestion there are many other obvious steps they could take. The simple fact is that there are TOO MANY CARS.

Every municipality should have the agency to make the best decisions for its inhabitants, including whether and how to set up bike lanes. The provincial government should stay out of it.

I learned to love cycling as my main mobility mode when I lived in London UK, and when I moved back to Toronto I thought I would give it a try and it turned out to be the best things that ever happened to me in my life. Now with two kids, it turns out I don't need a car.

i am a resident of toronto and am happy that the city spent money, time and important resources building bike lanes that keep people safe, have been proven to help flow of traffic and have improved access to local businesses.
