Good morning, I am a mother to three young kids aged 4-8. We use the city’s bike lanes almost every day and are so grateful to be able to safely get around our city. It’s so good for our physical and mental health. We would be devastated without them. Read more

I live in the bloor west area of Toronto but I also work downtown Toronto. While I understand bike lines help with safety for cyclists, there has been way too many major lanes of roads taken away. The gridlock causes so much unnecessary stress. Read more

I agree that the bike lanes should be removed and future projects like this need to have more common sense applied, but I do not agree that provincial legislators should have any place in municipal governance.

I strongly disagree with the ridiculous plan to remove bike lines on these major streets in Toronto. We need bike lanes to improve overall accessibility in the city. Removing them will create more gridlock, encourage cars to drive faster. Read more

These bike lanes are what get me to work safely and I feel so lucky that I live in a city that has them. Safety as a woman on the TTC is non-existent, so having the bike lanes has enabled me to arrive at work safely. They are IMPORTANT!

The city does not need more bike lanes. What the city needs to do is get a handle on the homeless and drug addict epidemic. I live in a neighborhood where the homeless have taken over abandoned homes that are meant to be torn down for condominium developments. Read more

Bike lanes save lives. People in new developments have to increasingly rely on cycling for commuting due to lack of parking spots. This is not a bad thing but it's the government's responsibility to ensure a safe commute for all. Read more

My husband and I cycle to work every day. He goes from high park to Bloor and church, and I go to king and bay. Without safe bike lanes, we would drive or take the subway. This city cannot afford any more congestion, and our hospitals cannot handle any more pressure. Read more

Removing bike lanes can lead to increased traffic congestion. Decisions regarding the addition of bike lanes should remain at the municipal level, as they are integral to urban and city planning. Read more

I strongly disagree with the removal of bike lanes. It will cost taxpayers more money, it was create more environmental impact, and getting around Toronto is hard enough as it is. Local cities should be able to decide on local issues. Read more

The bike lane removal addition an extreme overreach of provincial governance. This is a municipal matter and concerns should be directed to the municipality, where decisions have been made analyzing local data. Read more

I strongly object to the passing of Bill 212. The province should not have any say where the municipalities, based on the traffic studies, place the bike lanes. Read more
