I have read the proposal and understand the stated objectives. However, there is a disconnect between the two that significantly weakens the province's argument and raises questions about the efficacy of this proposal.

Bike lanes are an essential part of Toronto's transportation network. They have been proven to reduce congestion in the long run, by encouraging people to get out of cars and get onto space and energy efficient vehicles - bikes!

I do not believe that this is a proposal in the interest of the people. Biking is essential to both the health of individuals in your community (mental health and physical health) as well as health of the environment.

Bike lanes are critical within Toronto, it would be a huge loss if even one was removed. They encourage an alternate form of transportation and provide a safe way for cyclist to get around.

Bike lanes are not causing congestion, cars do.
These lanes are life lines to get around the city and getting more people on bikes, and on transit is what will ease congestion.
I will not stop riding my bike and if these lanes are removed, I will take the entire lane as is my right.

I strongly oppose the proposal to remove bike lanes on Bloor Street, Yonge Street, and University Avenue. These bike lanes are essential for my daily commute, allowing me and many others to safely and efficiently reach public transit hubs.

I am writing to express my strong opposition to the Progressive Conservative government's proposed Bill 212 (Reducing Gridlock, Saving You Time Act, 2024 - Framework for bike lanes that require removal of a traffic lane) to close bike lanes in our community.

This seems to be yet another near-sighted decision by the government that will have significant repercussions for the future of the city. Bike use is a solution to a number of problems Toronto is facing, including the disaster that is this city's road infrastructure and traffic.

Please be sure to evaluate any reduction or increase in the number and placement of bike lanes and highways using any verifiable evidence from local conditions and from other regions in Ontario, Canada and other countries.

I oppose Bill 212's proposal to remove bike lanes in the hope of easing traffic. Removing bike lanes is a short-sighted solution that ignores the broader benefits of a bike-friendly infrastructure.

This is a massive setback for municipal administration and cycling infrastructure. This bill does nothing to support non-car modes of transportation, disproportionately shifting negative impact to those who would make bikes and scooters their primary mode of transportation.

I wish to express my extreme opposition to the legislation to restrict municipalities' ability to implement bike lanes as they see fit, and even moreso the addendum to remove existing lanes on Bloor, University, and Yonge.

While the proposal to remove sections of the bike lanes on Bloor Street, Yonge Street, and University Avenue in Toronto may be framed as a solution to reduce traffic congestion, it fails to address the broader issues of urban mobility and sustainability.

Thank you! Bike lanes only serve a small portion of the community and are not usable for a number of months of the year. Taking away lanes for cars and public transit, which provide transportation and support local businesses, for the majority of the community is a major mistake.

I am against this bill removing any bike lane. It is just a fall-back of city developments. The true way for the government to resolve Toronto's transit problem is to encourage people to use alternative ways to transit and reduce cars on the roads.

Hello, I am a person who sometimes bikes, but usually drives. This bill is completely and utterly inappropriate and unhinged. I want more bike lanes. I want fewer cars on the road, not more.
