I personally don't like bikes, we should make the 413 bike-only and then we wouldn't need to do an environmental impact analysis right? I have other good ideas too just text me

I would like to express my firm opposition to Bill 212, as well as my disappointment with the many (seemingly deliberately) misleading justifications for this bill made by the Minister of Transportation Prabmeet Singh Sarkaria and Premier Doug Ford. Read more

I recently drove Bloor along the entire length from Parkside to Kipling on a weekday morning. The delays I encountered were due to pedestrians not obeying signals and lane closures due to construction. Read more

I'm a resident of Hamilton, Ontario. A city that was transformed for the benefit of cars over many decades before I even moved here. I literally moved houses because the traffic on the street I lived on was so bad that a car flipped over the sidewalk and landed in my neighbour's yard. Read more

DO NOT REMOVE BIKE LANES. MORE CAR LANES DOES NOT MEAN LESS TRAFFIC. SAFER BIKE LANES WILL REDUCE TRAFFIC BECAUSE PEOPLE DONT HAVE TO DRIVE EVERYWHERE. OH MY GOD PLEASE LOOK AT THE NETHERLANDS. Read more

How can we lower our carbon emissions by taking away a completely green way of transportation? Removing bike lanes along Toronto’s busiest roads will not help with reducing gridlock. If anything it will put more cars on the road which will simply add to it. Read more

As a daily cyclist and Toronto resident, I rely on bike lanes to commute safely and efficiently, and removing them would force cyclists onto busy streets, increasing the risk of accidents and potentially pushing us back into cars, which would only add to traffic and emissions. Read more

Please do not increase construction and make the city roads more dangerous by ripping out already installed bike lanes. Don’t make me drive more by removing one of the only options to quickly get around the city.

Removing bike lanes in Toronto and making it more difficult for municipalities to build them is completely illogical and unacceptable. The government had previously set climate goals and targets yet wants to remove an environmental way for people to commute around the province. Read more

Thanks for this opportunity. I adore the bike lanes in Toronto. They make it safer for all of us, car drivers included. I do not believe the provincial government should rip out existing bike lanes. I do not believe the provincial government should be able to approve or reject new bike lanes. Read more

I am writing to request the reconsideration of Bill 212. My concerns relate to the provincial oversight and restrictions on the installation of cycling infrastructure (i.e., bike lanes). Read more

The proposed changes for the removal and installation of bicycle lanes needs further criteria laid out. The current wording is too ambiguous and opens the provincial government to be able to abuse its power. Read more

While Bill 212 tackles gridlock, which is an important issue to tackle, removing & making it harder to implement bike lanes is not the way to go about it as bike lanes have a lot of important benefits & often aren't the cause of gridlock. Read more

As a concerned resident and parent, I am writing to express my strong opposition to the proposed removal of bikes in Toronto (or anywhere in Ontario). The presence of these bike lanes is crucial for the safety of my children, who use them regularly. Read more

I am a retiree in the 905 who relies on driving for 99% of my travel. I visit my children and grandchildren semi-regularly in Toronto. It's clear to me that the needs of an urban environment are very different from the suburbs. Read more

I am very much against removing bike lanes from our roads. I am a motorist and a cyclist and I use both modes of transport to get to work. If you remove bicycle lanes then you remove the option to safely bicycle to work adding more cars to the road.
