I am concerned about the potential impact of Bill 212 on jurisdictions other than Toronto. While the bill aims to reduce gridlock in Toronto, this issue may not fully apply to other communities.

I am writing to express my concerns about the proposed Ontario provincial legislation that aims to remove bicycle lanes from our city. As a dedicated bicycle commuter for the past 20 years, I rely on these lanes for safe travel to work and to contribute to reducing automobile traffic.

Like the majority of other students I know, I use my bike as an affordable means of transportation to get to work and school. It’s time efficient and I notice my health is exponentially better since starting to bike. Bike lanes have been critical to ensuring I can get home safely each day.

I am opposed to this hostile stance against safe cycling infrastructure for many reasons. Firstly, I am a cyclist, and this act is an effort to make me personally less safe, and many other citizens of Ontario less safe.

Please do not remove any bikelanes, they are so crucial from keeping vulnerable road users safe and reducing gridlock. It is infuriating that this government is putting forward such awful ideas.
hello,
Keep your conservative and dated agenda for life out of Toronto. bike lanes are critical to keeping drivers and cyclists safe. Roads without bike lanes are terrifying for bikers and drivers alike.

I've lived in Toronto for 6 years. I feel that if this legislation is passed and enacted (Bill 212 and the ERO number 019-9266), the resulting chaos and gridlock in the city will force me to leave the city, along with many other professionals.

This is insane. It will not help with congestion, it will kill cyclists. Cycling is good for the body and for the environment. Studies have shown that with more bike lanes, less cyclists are hurt in motor vehicle accidents. ALSO this is a municipal issue, not provincial.

This government's behaviour is completely backwards and embarrassing. It is an egregious example of overreach into a municipal jurisdiction and no credible evidence has been provided to support it's claims.
*Biking is a reliable way to commute to locations that are off the subway lines*
The university bike lane has a major positive impact on my weekday evening commutes from downtown to Sunnyside. The commuting options are as follows:
- 30mins by bike,
- 1-hour drive, or

I entirely agree with this proposal! Yes, many people are biking today, but the main type of transportation is and will continue to be a vehicle. We need to ensure vehicular traffic moves smoothly and quickly; replacing traffic lanes with bike lanes is not conducive to this.

I'm a graduate student in UofT's Computer Science program. I don't have the means, nor do I want to drive a car, whether we had 2 or 3 lanes of traffic on Young, Bloor or University. I bike 20 minutes to school every day, and use those 3 roads and their bike lanes to stay safe.

I am writing this comment on November 5th and it is 22 degrees Celsius outside. There have been natural disasters in the form of hurricanes and wildfires in the last few months that have wreaked havoc in North America.

To begin with the name of the Bill is incredibly parochial, suggesting that there's only one outcome and only one concern. That's a very selfish approach and doesn't consider the many possibilities of traffic control and design, including for bikes.

This proposed legislation is not based on fact or resulting from any traffic study. Toronto traffic congestion has been shown to result from construction primarily...yet facts mean nothing to this bunch. Bikes are an easy target to deflect this governments lack of effective solution
Please don't get rid of the bike lanes. It'll make it more dangerous for cyclists, pedestrians and drivers a like. Bikes will go onto sidewalks, sidewalks will becomes more congested. Bikes will just bike on the road and people are going to get hurt.
I am writing to express my deep concern about the potential removal of bike lanes in the City of Toronto. Bike lanes are a vital component of our urban infrastructure, promoting safer streets, a healthier environment, and equitable access to transportation.
