I love the bike lanes. Gridlock is not caused by bicycles, but by cars often used by a single person. There will be more, not less congestion without bike lanes. And everyone will be stuck, whether going by bus, by streetcar or by car
I rely on bike lanes to get my child to school safely. I ride my bike along this route you're proposing to rip out daily. You are taking away my safety. My child's safety. all for what? every single expert on traffic control disagrees with this ridiculous and short sighted move.

Please do not move forward with Bill 212. I regularly go grocery shopping in nearby neighborhoods and bring my groceries back home by bike, but only feel safe doing that because of the protected Bloor bike lanes.

My colleagues partner was killed on his bicycle by a car driver on a downtown street. If he had been in a bike lane (there wasn't one) this may not have happened.

Hi, so removing bike lanes for vehicle lanes actually slows down motor vehicle traffic, the infrastructure for easily accessible transportation is already in a sorry state nation wide but the easier you make it for people to travel without a car, the more people will travel without a car.

I am so grateful for the province stepping in with regard to the irresponsible placement of bike lanes in my area. I am a Toronto resident. Watching the transportation department at the city of Toronto destroy our city has been so frustrating.

I am a vulnerable road user and I deserve to get home safely. My life has value, I have value. As Doug Ford refuses to use facts to support his bills, I'm going to do you all a favour and give you the facts below.

As a daily bike commuter working at King and Bay, and with my wife also biking to the hospital where she works as an ICU nurse, bike lanes are essential to our lives and safety. Bill 212's push to limit and potentially remove bike lanes is deeply concerning.

I do not support this legislation. Living in the West end of Toronto, bike lanes keep people and families safe when riding along city streets.

Disappointed at this plan. It does not serve the needs of the people who use these roads most - those that live by them - people like me and my daughter. Because of the bike lanes on Bloor, we are able to bike to her activities, try e movies, and her friends house.

As a cyclist that lives downtown, I rely on bike lanes to get around safely. Removing them from busy streets means we have to share lanes with cars that has proven to be extremely dangerous.

I fear that this will not provide any notable benefit unto its intended goal of reducing gridlock and rather will impact safety and mobility of those who rely on alternative modes of transportation.

The stated objective of this Act is to reduce "gridlock," yet it proposes measures likely to harm public health and safety, limit mobility and access to Ontario communities, damage environmental protections, and exacerbate the climate crisis.

This is a waste of time and money, and it’s dangerous. Why are we focusing on removing existing infrastructure instead of improving all the other problems facing the city? There is zero evidence bike lanes increase traffic congestion.

This proposed bill is regressive, and only serves to stoke the flames of a culture war. Doug Ford's inability to innovate, and desire remove necessary infrastructure will result in lives being lost.

This decision would have a devastating detrimental impact on Toronto's cycling network, and is a terrible idea. Many condominium developments today are being built with more bike parking than car parking. Toronto bike share continues to post record ridership every year.

i use this bike lane on Bloor everyday to get to my job in the don valley. why are we wasting money and time removing it. Its a piece of infrastructure i use everyday and i cant afford or park a car in my neighbourhood this would make my commute significantly more dangerous and impractical.

Please reconsider the removal of bike lanes on Bloor and University. I’m currently 5 months pregnant and I use these bike lanes to get to and from Mt Sinai where my OB is. I could drive, I own two cars!, but I’d rather bike.
