I am opposed to Bill 212 in its entirety, as its content has been developed with little to no supporting data. Provincial transportation policy should not be developed on the back of a napkin by the owners of Bloor West businesses who have access to the Minister's ear.

Spending the same amount of money (if not more) to remove bike lanes in Toronto as it cost to install the bike lanes is ridiculous. This is not a good use of taxpayers money. Research shows that bike lanes do in fact help to reduce traffic congestion in the long term.

Excessive reliance on cars is what has led to our current traffic problems, and doubling down on the use of personal automobiles certainly won't improve the situation.

Bike lanes are an important alternative mode of transit in a very busy city like Toronto. I bike from as my primary form of getting around. The proposals in this bill will mean I am less safe on the roads.

This is a bad idea. On one hand you promote eco friendly transport like bicycles and on the other hand want to spend $48M to rip out the bike lanes so more folks can drive more cars on the same roads.

I am an avid cyclist. Most of my cycling is away from areas with a lot of traffic. When I have to share the road with motorists, there are often motorist who disrespect me and endanger my life by not giving me any space. Often it is because they don't like cyclists.

Please don't take away bike lanes. It is unsafe and dangerous for bikers and drivers alike. I don't want my friends to risk their lives trying to bike. I don't want uber eats, door dashers or any delivery person having to be in more danger in the road.

Why do we want to go backwards? More bikes means less cars. Why are we promoting cars and pollution over public transit and sustainable modes of transport such as cycling. We require safe spaces to encourage cycling as a mode of transportation. We need more cycling infrastructure and not less.

To prioritize a form of transportation that moves fewer people less efficiently, while putting those who do not have the privilege to sit in a car at risk is an embarrassing proposal for any developed area. In the same way that Canada is made better by diversity, so too is transit. Keep bike lanes.

Please don’t take the bike lanes away, we need a safe way to ride bikes to where we are going. And it’s such a huge expense, we need affordable homes and shelters more than car space.
It’s a HUGE unnecessary financial cost - and a HUGE step backwards in promoting eco friendly transit. Epic choice in reducing the safety of the thousands of cyclists who access Bloor. I’m curious …. What is the price of their safety?
As a person who uses the Bloor and Queen's Park bike lanes in particular on my commute to work I am extraordinarily disappointed about this proposal. I am a mother of three young kids and I now have to worry that I will be risking my life and their future every single day simply to get to work.

I drive in Toronto and am strongly against removing bike lanes and suggesting that removing bike lanes improves traffic. The idea such removing will improve traffic follow is an illusion as there are no bike lanes on the 401, yet the traffic there is frustrating.

Their is a very circular argument that there are no bikes but that is because their is no infrastructure. If you implement more infrastructure you'll see: more bikes.
More people want to bike over drive
It reduce cars CO2 out put
It will reduce traffic Long term.

Leave the bikes lanes alone. I use them and they keep me safe. I am also a driver when I have to and do not notice or mind any additional minutes spent in traffic along Bloor. I live in Bloor West Village and the neighbourhood is better in every way due to the bike lanes. That's my opinion.

Global studies show bike lanes do not cause congestion. Please do not implement Bill 212 in Ontario. It's an embarrassment to the province. We do not want to move backward in sustainability.
