Please don't remove bike lanes. I began riding my bike again to commute at the age of 40 because bike lanes made me feel safe again. Transit is unreliable but I can depend on my bike. If I don't ride, I will have to drive my car (which is collecting dust) and I know I'm not the only one.

If Premier Ford removes the bike lanes on Yonge, Bloor and University that the city of Toronto has continuously improved and made more permanent after careful consideration, I think this would be a colossal waste of our taxpayer money and be a massive step backwards in sustainable transportation.

Removing bike lanes in Toronto is a HUGE mistake. Relevant research demonstrates that removing bike lanes does NOT decrease car traffic and in fact increases the number of cars on the road, worsening the problem.

I am writing to strongly oppose Bill 212. Bike lanes should be a municipal decision, built according to the needs and desires of the municipality in which bike lanes serve as important transportation infrastructure. This should not (nor has it been in the past) be a Provicially-led decision.

I refer to a proposed addendum to Bill 212 - Reducing Gridlock, Saving You Time Act, 2024: "Framework for bike lanes that require removal of a traffic lane."

Hello,

I am against Bill 212. Bike lanes save lives, help people to be more healthy and cut down on polluting commuter traffic. The province should not be dictating what is best for local communities. Please stop bill 212.
To fight gridlock we need MORE bike lanes, better public transit, and better funding for both. This proposal will have the opposite effect, it's like replacing water with soda in an attempt to lose weight.
I object to the Ontario goverment trying to ram this bill through, trying to make it seem like it is about bike lanes when it really about expropriation without recourse, building a bypass to bypass a bypass (that is underused and always will be as long as it is tolled).

It concerns me that the provincial government is politicizing the use of bicycle lanes and hopping aboard the “us versus them” (cars vs. bicycles) bandwagon to garner support from frustrated city drivers. Remember the cyclists most likely also have or drive cars.

I strongly disagree with the reduction and removal of bicycle lanes as proposed by the Provincial Government
Commuting by bicycle will ultimately reduce gridlock by decreasing the number of vehicles on the road as proven by research and as seen in other large cities

Doug Ford is not mayor of Toronto. He ran, and he lost. It's time for him to get over it. Bike lanes are not provincial jurisdiction. On top of that, this is dangerous, idiotic, and a colossal waste of money.

What’s the deal with Ontario’s Bill 212? I mean, they’re talking about removing bike lanes! Removing bike lanes? It’s like saying, “Hey, let’s make it harder for people to get around!” What’s next? Are they gonna take away sidewalks? “You want to walk? Sorry, that’s a luxury now!”

Doug Ford. You don't understand city dwellers. Bikes reduce traffic, they don't increase traffic. Do not take these existing and paid-for bike lanes that are protecting the lives of myself and my husband (parents of two young children) every day as we, and so many others commute to work.

The bike lanes have kept me safe, encouraged my young family to cycle more, and allowed me to reduce the number of trips I take by car daily. Removing them is a huge mistake.
I am a 70 year old cyclist who rides my bike confidently around on our town streets and out on the country roads. I don't ride on the sidewalks as some people do out of fear of traffic, much to the annoyance of pedestrians.

Removing bike lanes and replacing them with car lanes does not always improve traffic flow and can often lead to unintended consequences. Here are some key points to consider:
