I am writing to STRONGLY OPPOSE this legislation, which is not evidence-based. This bill falsely attributes bike lanes as the cause of car traffic congestion, and not the main contributor in Toronto, which is construction.

**Opposition to Bill 212 and Highway 413 Act, 2024**
Hello,
I’m writing as a concerned citizen to oppose Bill 212 and the Highway 413 Act, 2024.

The removal of the bike lanes on Bloor, Yonge and University would be a huge step backwards when it comes to biking in the city, removing the most essential parts of the bike network in this city.

Bike lanes are vital transportation infrastructure and I strongly oppose this bill. My family owns a car, however, when it's being used, my mother and I often cycle for shopping and eating out, even during the winter months.

Bike lanes are used almost entirely but local commuters. Since a cyclist uses much less road space then an automobile it is clear that encouraging local commuters to committee by bike should actually lessen consideration for drivers on the roads.

I am vehemently opposed to Bill 212 and strongly urge the provincial government to abandon this bill. Bicycle lanes save lives. Individuals of all ages and abilities should have access to safe and equitable cycling infrastructure so that they can arrive at their destinations alive.

It is difficult to accept that the world is changing and that designing our cities around driving is not working. At the same time, this feels very similar to the decision to bury the Eglinton LRT line that was made by the Mike Harris government.

The stupidest proposal ever, getting rid of the bike lane would increase the danger of cyclist which will now be forced to go on the street and this will not improve the day to day commute by ‘-adding one lane’.

DO NOT CLOSE THE BIKE LANES. I use it everyday to go to UNI like it’s making my life easier to go study. And most of my friends do it as well. Matter fact none of us have a car. We bike to most places in Toronto because of the bike lakes, we feel safe. Don’t close them please.

Worst proposal ever think about every day commuters that want a walkable and bikeable city, but no this proposal will only increase the dependency of cars in an already horrible car centric experience, one of the worst traffics in the world, as a matter of fact the worst city to commute by car from

We need more biking infrastructure in our cities — no one wants to drive downtown as long as they can avoid it, because the traffic is going to be bad with or without bike lanes. It is absurd the province wants to make our downtowns even more crowded with cars!
I am a mother of 2 (56) and love using the bike lanes. It is a safe alternative for going green and quicker to my destination. My kids also love it, I allow them to go and meet their friends, school, etc.

I am writing to express opposition to Bill 212 and it's plans to remove bike lanes at University, Yonge, and Bloor and to limit new bike lines from being added to the city. The provincial government should not be adding more red tape and oversight to this type of needed infrastructure.

This is a stupid decision by a government that is not based in fact or knowledge. If you cared about traffic, you'd eliminate cars parked on roadways and blitz the offenders who block traffic. Or provide better transit.
Bicycle infrastructure is extremely efficient for moving large numbers of people and actually *reduces* traffic. Toronto simply does not have the space for more roads, and higher density public transit options are drastically needed.

I am making a comment for "Bill 212 - Reducing Gridlock, Saving You Time Act, 2024 - Framework for bike lanes that require removal of a traffic lane."
This past weekend, fellow Torontonians rallied in the hundreds with their bikes to demand that you PROTECT their lanes, not remove it.

Hello, I am a driver and a cyclist. I commute by both but more by bike. I am commenting on behalf of safe bike lanes. This is a horrible idea, to take away bike lanes for more car congestion.

Please do not go through with this backward step of city planning. CARS create gridlock not bike lanes. The more lanes of traffic that are added the more people will drive those cars.
