I believe the premise of this bill is fundamentally flawed and I would not support/vote for the party that pushes it. Biking lanes in Toronto, if anything, decongested the streets, allowing people to commute faster, healthier and with less environmental impact. Read more

Bill 212 will do NOTHING to reduce gridlock. The way to reduce gridlock is to invest more of the government's funds toward public transit infrastructure, and supporting alternative forms of transportation to cars, like bike lanes and multi-use pathways. Read more

Keeping the current bike lanes in the city is essential for promoting sustainable transportation, enhancing public safety, and improving overall urban livability. Bike lanes provide a dedicated space for cyclists, reducing the likelihood of accidents involving vehicles and pedestrians. Read more

Hello, I would like to state my opposition to Bill 212 on various grounds. On top of being contrary to the conservative ethos, precedent within urban design shows that Bill 212 will inevitably fail to achieve its goal of "Reducing Gridlock, Saving You Time". Read more

Let's talk about why keeping Toronto's bike lanes is essential for the well-being and growth of our city. Removing them, as proposed by Doug Ford, risks unraveling years of progress toward a healthier, more connected, and more vibrant Toronto. Here’s why keeping these lanes matters: Read more

I live in downtown Toronto. I ride my bike to get to work, to get groceries and run errands. The bike lanes keep me safe. Car and truck traffic flows freely on Adelaide and Richmond, not despite but because of their bike lanes. Read more

It is absolutely insanity for the government to lie about the source of traffic congestion being bicycle lanes. I have been on numerous roads around Toronto without bicycle lanes and bicycles yet they still have congestion. Read more

I don't think this is a good idea, if the goal is to reduce traffic and save time. Why not give people more options to get around. How many bikes can you fit in the same space a car would take. In the long term this will just make congestion even worse because people just use cars. Read more

Absolutely not in favour of this huge overstep by the provincial government and impacting my every day commute negatively and putting more cyclists at risk. Stay out of Toronto and keep the bike lines as they are!

The legislation does not support the stated goals. If the bike lanes on Bloor, Yonge and University are removed, then induced demand, and the concomitant increase in vehicles, will cause an increase in gridlock in Toronto. Read more

I, a resident of Toronto, who actively bikes to work and other places strongly oppose this bill and removal of any bike lanes. Bike lanes are faster, safer, have no environmental concerns, and actually reduces traffic. Read more
