Dear sir/madam, I am in support of this proposal. My further comment would be to begin altering/removing the bike lanes on Bloor, between Jane and Kipling , immediately. Their existence is negatively impacting local residents standard of living. Read more

I support Bill 212 as a necessary step to address Toronto's severe traffic congestion. Restoring car lanes on major roads like Bloor, Yonge, and University could help alleviate gridlock and improve travel times for drivers and public transit users alike. Read more

I do not support this bill as it is currently written. Decisions around city infrastructure should not be decided by the province. Cities should know what is best for their residents, and give them whatever transportation choices those residents want. Read more

Not every Ontarian drives a car. Urban citizens are especially interested in using public roads for commuting by bicycle. Access to safe, sweatered bike lanes in the downtown core of Toronto is essential to maintaining public safety for cyclists. Read more

I am incredibly distraught at the thought of bike lanes in Toronto being removed. This is incredibly short sighted. We are in a climate crises and need to do everything we can to encourage people to commute via bike and public transit. Safe bike infrastructure facilitates and encourages this. Read more

My main concern is the focus on removing bike lanes from Toronto. Its wasting tax dollars for Toronto infrastructure that isn't universal for the province. Leave Toronto alone and let them handle it.

I find it very unfortunate that the Government of Ontario feels that it needs to introduce its own approval process to approve bike lanes. I feel that municipalities are better placed to determine whether a bike lane is warranted than the Government of Ontario would be. Read more

Bike lanes are an integral part of city infrastructure and road safety. Providing citizens a safe alternative to driving reduces traffic. Citizens will feel empowered to be able to cycle to their destinations and won't be clogging the streets with cars. Read more

This amendment appears to prioritize and encourage motor transport over the safety of alternative means of transportation such as bikes. Municipalities are best suited to decide what the local lane needs are, without provincial interference that comes with a pro-car agenda. Read more
