We need more bike lanes and bike infrastructure, not less! The way to reduce gridlock is to provide viable alternatives to cars, that means more bikes and public transport.

Please reconsider the work that has already been done with separated and safer bike lanes in the downtown area. Having the separated bike lanes help encourage me to ride more as a newer cyclist. Read more

This is a terrible idea, while I primarily drive and at times feel minor inconvenience on Bloor street I find that the installation of the bike lanes has been the correct shift by the city to develop a cleaner and safer city. Read more

This bill is a huge overreach. Bike lanes are municipal decisions. Let residents and councillors decide where bike lanes should go or not go. That alone should be sufficient reason for the bill to be voted down. Read more

Bicycle lanes are critical infrastructure for reducing traffic, keeping cyclists safe, and allowing low-income Ontarians to travel around our cities. I live in Windsor, which has terrible traffic congestion because there are too few transit options and virtually no bicycle lanes. Read more

I commute from south west Scarborough to downtown Toronto several days each week for work. As a subway/walking commuter into the downtown core I find that the bike lanes on Bloor have been a huge improvement to the area. I can only speak to the portion of Bloor St. that I frequent. Read more

As a downtown resident and occasional driver, these bike lanes are not only crucial for the safety of the bikers, but also provide less hesitation and worry for myself as a driver. Fair space is given and we no longer have to maneuver around bikers as if they are obstacles. Read more

Bike lanes are public infrastructure that save lives by limiting car/pedestrian/cyclist interactions. As a home owner in Toronto, I want diverse, safe transit alternatives to driving. Bill 212 will not save my family and I any time. Read more

Bike lanes should be a municipal issue. The provincial governments can guide municipalities, but shouldn't force their hand on these issues. The provincial government should instead focus on education and health care. Ripping out existing bike lanes is a waste of money. Read more

I cycle because it's healthy, it's cost effective and it helps to cut down on expensive bills from having to own and maintain a car. Having the ability to purchase or have access to a car isn't something easy to do in this economy. Read more

The province needs to stop prioritizing drivers above everyone else. Just because you want to save a few minutes of a driver's time (which studies don't even support) doesn't mean that should be prioritized over people's lives. Removing bike lanes will literally cause people to die. Read more

I live in downtown Toronto and rely on bike lanes for my daily commute, both for work and leisure. This bill would not only eliminate one of the most efficient ways to get around but also feels deeply irresponsible, especially as we work to address climate change. Read more

I am writing to express my strong opposition to Bill 212, the Reducing Gridlock, Saving You Time Act. While I recognize the importance of addressing congestion, this bill overlooks essential aspects of sustainable urban planning and environmental health. Read more

Removing bike lanes will not reduce gridlock as you will force people that would cycle switch to vehicles and increase vehicle traffic through public transit, Uber/cabs or their own cars and thereby increasing gridlock. Read more
