Hello,
I am not in support of this Bill. I own and drive a car, I also own and ride my bike. In order to feel safe on the road, and to feel safe for my children, we require separated bike lanes. I don't agree that reducing car lanes is a problem. Do not proceed with this Bill.

I support Bill 212. I am an Etobicoke resident.
When the City of Toronto’s public transit network, specifically its subway and LRT network, becomes much more robust that may be the time to permit bike lanes on major thoroughfares.

The provincial government should not be adding red tape and bureaucracy to prevent municipal governments from being able to develop traffic infrastructure how they see fit.

In today's world, reducing bike lanes seems like the craziest decision we can make. Even with bike lanes, it is very dangerous for bicycles to travel around the city. Let's remember that those utilising bikes are mostly our children going to school; why would we want to put them at risk?

I strongly disagree with this proposed legislation. I am someone that occasionally cycles to work in Ottawa and around the city for leisure and I rely heavily on safe bike lanes.

These bike lanes allow people to be able to safely travel by bike. That includes parents with baby seats and young children getting to school. These are people that now have to option of not travelling in a car. Without safe bike lanes, these people would never be able to travel by bike.

As a commuter who uses transit, bikes and also has a car and lives in the west end of Toronto, if the bike lane system is reduced I will be forced into a position to have to drive into the downtown core as part of my commute instead of biking for 3/4 seasons.

I do not support the removal of bike lanes. As someone who has lived in downtown Toronto for 14+ years, the additional installation of bike lanes, specifically on bloor and university has made my commute much easier and safer. It is a much more pleasant experience biking in bike lanes.

This proposal will directly endanger my life and the life of my family. I use bike lanes to go to work, to do my groceries, to see my nephew, to get to doctors appointments. Having a safe, separated lane allows me to travel safely and reduces the chance of being hit by a car.

This bill is unnecessary. Not only would it provide minimal impact on the traffic volume in the downtown area, it adds additional unneeded bureaucracy for local governments trying to increase transportations options.

I am appalled at the proposal to remove the recently installed bike lanes along Bloor and other streets in the downtown core. These bike lanes are indispensable to my commute, and to running everyday errands and connecting with friends.

This bill, if passed, would be a major blow to street safety, commuter flexibility, the environment, and the social fabric in Toronto.
Street safety: every person on a bicycle is one less car on an already-congested road.
Following that logic:

The fact that the provincial government even has a say over what happens in the bike infrastructure in our city is insane.
the only thing removing bike lanes will do is endanger bikers and pedestrians, who are the people that actually live and exist within the city.
I live in downtown Toronto. I'm not a cyclist. I own/co-own three vehicles.
I am strongly in favour of bike lanes. This is because bike lanes keep cyclists safe. They also keep bikes off sidewalks, which keeps pedestrians safe.

The intention of this legislation to remove existing bike lanes, especially in the City of Toronto, is deeply frustrating and even frightening.

As a regular user of bike lanes in the City of Toronto it is inconceivable to me that the government would be willing to sacrifice my safety by removing bike lanes.
