I use the bike lanes multiple times a week. My kids use the bike lanes. When I drive on Bloor the traffic is not a problem. There is ample parking for businesses. PLEASE do not remove the bike lanes! They are a safe way for me and my family to get around the city. Read more

This is a misguided and short sighted plan! Traffic problems are not solved by adding lanes. The 401 is constant gridlock and has many lanes and no bicycles. Let’s do real research and read actual data before committing to foolish bills.

As a cyclist who uses a bicycle to get to and from work, I feel like this bill is shortsighted. More people on bicycles will actually reduce traffic, not increase it - more people on bikes can fit in the same space that a single driver in a car takes up. Read more

I believe that constructing Highway 413 is a significant waste of resources, especially when Highway 407 is underutilized. Instead, we should encourage the use of public transit and bicycle lanes. Simply adding more cars is not the solution to reducing congestion.

This Bill proposal is a thinly disguised attempt to deflect blame away from major construction projects (like the Metrolinx cross-town) as the primary reason for slowing down the roadways of Toronto. Read more

Returning vehicular only lanes to where the bike lanes have been installed will make streets unsafe, slower, and an extremely wasteful amount of time, tax payers money and construction resources for everyone utilizing these roads. Read more

The problem causing traffic congestion on Bloor St. is not the bike lanes, it is the Parking. Before the bike lanes were installed there were two traffic lanes going in either direction but the right lane was not drivable, because this lane was always blocked by parked cars. Read more

We need more bike lanes, not more restrictions on them. This is one of the best modes of active transportation and we need to enable people by creating safe roads for cyclists of all kinds, especially commuters, and improve driver-rider culture in Ontario.

Bill 212 is an over-reach of disrupting a carefully crafted gradually introduced system of commuting and lowering our fossil foot prints in this time of climate crisis. And it's going to cost twice as much merely to take them down than it did to install them in the first place?1? Read more

While I understand the need to improve traffic conditions in Toronto, I do not think that removing bike lanes is the appropriate solution. Encouraging cycling reduces the number cars on the road. Read more

It's despicable and cynical that his government intends to throw away tax payer dollars in Toronto by overriding a citizenry that needs what little biking infrastructure that this city has. To get to work. To actually move around the city. Read more
