The number of people driving bikes in Toronto has been growing for the last few years. Even though currently the number of bikers is roughly 2% of all Toronto citizens this number will increase. Read more

“You’re nervous when there’s no bike lanes. At least I was. We have to do everything we can to make sure three’s never a death in the city. One death is way too many when it comes to bicycle riders." Doug Ford TVO, 2017 It’s time to think outside the car Read more

Bike lanes have been shown to reduce congestion. I strongly believe that you should not apply a 'blanket' approach to all situations. Certainly a review is reasonable but not a rejection or withdrawal of all bike lanes.

This bill will not reduce gridlock or save commuters time, it will do the opposite. Research shows that bike lanes actually improves traffic, because more people will bike, leading to fewer people in cars. Read more

My family and I, including husband and 2 children live in the Windsor-Essex area. We do not own a car and use bicycles for 90% of our commutes. The other 10% is done with public transport, car share, and Uber. Read more

Please think of the true environmental impact of bike lanes. Cars are burning gas while sitting in traffic, while only a few cyclists are using bike lanes. Please remove bike lanes. Let’s focus our time and resources on improving public transit. Read more

This proposal seems to miss the point that bike lanes encourage cycling that, in turn, removes cars from the road and, so, reduced congestion. I personally drive, cycle, walk, and take transit; it all depends on what makes sense for the specific trip and conditions. Read more

I am writing to express my strong opposition to Bill 212, which proposes the removal of existing bike lanes and increased roadway capacity for cars. This bill’s approach lacks supporting data to justify its premise that removing bike lanes and increasing car lanes will reduce traffic congestion. Read more

Dedicated bike lanes are paramount for the safety of cyclists sharing the road with cars. Requiring provincial governmental approval for their construction at the municipal level unnecessarily increases the barrier of difficulty for building bike lanes. Read more

I support municipalities making decisions ⅘on where bike lanes should be located based on the interest and safety of the most vulnerable commuters. Any decision needs to consider the safety of cyclists and pedestrians first. Read more

The suggestions that Bill 212 proposes are completely in opposition to its stated aims. Bike lanes, when they provide a comprehensive network for commuters to use, are far more effective at getting people where they need to be. Read more
