I am a senior citizen living on Bloor street, on the Etobicoke side of the Humber bridge. The new bike lanes go right by my building. I enjoy using them, and do so frequently, but I also drive on Bloor and am well aware of the traffic situation there. I’ll comment on the latter below. Read more

Hey, this is really dumb. The fundamental problem, setting aside the issues of safety and accessibility for cyclists, e-cyclists, scooter users, etc., is that there is an abundance of evidence that demonstrates that more vehicle lanes results in more traffic and more congestion. Read more

Bonjour, Je desire faire connaître mes inquiétudes face à ce nouveau projet de loi. Par mon expérience, les vélos causent des problèmes sur la route quand ils sont sur les mêmes voies que ceux des voitures et qu'ils ne peuvent pas aller à la vitesse affichée. Read more

Toronto’s streets have become much safer for cyclists with the expansion of Toronto's bike lane network. There is no evidence that bike lanes have substantially negatively impacted traffic or emergency vehicle response times. Read more

Roads were not made for cars, they were made for everybody. Our cit y needs fewer cars and MORE OPTIONS. Every bike on the road is one less car. People will only start using biked when bike lanes are built, and lots of them, all connected. Read more

I think the part of Bill 212 to relieve traffic congestion by restricting bike lane infrastructure and removing existing bike lanes is misguided and will actually lead to more traffic gridlock. Read more

I reject this proposal as backward thinking, dangerous and deleterious to Toronto residents, merchants and cyclists. Toronto wants bike lanes. This legislation is laughably backwards and an embarrassment.

Hello Minister, Please find information below on how bicycle lanes affect the environment and affect automotive traffic. Based in this evidence, I am opposed to Bill 212. The Ministry should base policy decisions on fact based research. Read more
