While I don't believe that we've proven the impact on traffic to remove these specific bike lanes I don't care to prioritize drivers needs over the safety of myself and my family.

I am deeply disheartened by the policy agenda that prioritizes highway construction and vehicle-based infrastructure at the expense of sustainable and equitable transportation options for all Ontarians.

Toronto has gone through myriad studies regarding the bike lanes they have installed. They benefit the city and removing them is arbitrary, and an obviously political move with no grounding in facts.

This framework is backwards. It would spend money that is needed to address other issues within the province to wage a fight on bike lanes. Bike lanes offer a car-free way of getting around cities without reliance on automobiles.

As someone who has regularly driven since 1981 on the three Toronto streets specifically called out in the proposal, I have my own experience to add: That can be summed up as removing the bike lanes will not speed up the flow of automobile traffic on those streets.

I am 100% opposed to Bill 212 as it relates to bike lanes. It seems ill-conceived, under-researched, and grossly lacking in data-driven reasoning and transparency.

Conservative governments have a history of supporting democracy and providing lower tiers of government autonomy to do what works best for their respective communities.

Hello -- I am a High Park resident writing to voice my strong support for the bike lanes on Bloor Street and University Avenue. In any given week, I am a driver, a pedestrian, a transit user, and a cyclist.

The focus with the cycling infrastructure should be to improve it, not to reduce it.
Review the research referenced in recent news articles stating there are other more significant factors than bike lanes that are leading to traffic logjams e.g. construction.
Bike lanes are important.
If the concern is about emergency vehicles there are ways to expedite their travel without removing bike lanes (example: double wide bike lanes).
We need transportation options to ensure Ontario cities are world class
It frustrates me to see a government added unnecessary red tape. Why should the province be able to decide what a city can do with its roads? If the residents of a city vote for a council that vows to build more bike lanes is that not a functioning democracy?
Eliminating the bike lanes is not an answer. Not everyone can afford a car .. these bike lanes ensure that there is a safe and affordable transportation option for Toronto residents. The ongoing use of these bike lanes is blatantly obvious.

Please keep the bike lanes on Yonge, University and Bloor. Most civilians in the city of Toronto cannot afford to drive cars or pay for parking. TTC and biking is an affordable, environmental and safe way to commute.

To whom it may concern,
The provincial government should not be adding red tape and bureaucracy to slow down local governments that are working to expand transportation options. I use bike lanes every day and consider them essential transportation infrastructure—just like sidewalks.

I find it both fiscally and morally reprehensible to create such an issue of an already completed, successful and safe program that has been proven to change the feelings of safety and security of the thousands of bikers who use these again, already completed bike paths, monthly, weekly, and daily.

To whom it may concern -
This is in regards to the bill to remove bike lanes.
The problems that Toronto are having may not be solved in your lifetime. Abrupt, controversial measures like this will not help you.
