I gather the Province is unnecessarily creating a political issue where none exist. I’m a 70 year old motorist as well as cyclist with a group of police officers. Your “anti-Toronto” has always been the case separating rural and urban Ontario. Good luck making it an election issue!

Bike lanes do not increase congestion. Please see global studies for evidence. The Annex BIA supports bike lanes as a way to increase the local economy. Biking is sustainable, healthy and a safe alternative mode of transportation when separated bike lanes are present. Read more

The primary way to reduce traffic in the city is to have fewer cars on the road. If removing bike lanes did reduce traffic, it would only encourage more people to drive, since there is no traffic. This will ultimately lead to more traffic, and there will be no more lanes to remove. Read more

Protect bike lanes!!!! Making it easier for people to cycle rather than drive is a far more sustainable (both environmentally and temporally) solution than slashing bike lanes to prioritize car lanes. Bike lanes are also crucial for cyclist safety. Read more

Don’t remove the bike lane. That is what makes a difference in first world countries and now you want to remove it. I come from adifferent country where I would dreaaaaam of having a bike lane, now you removing it? It’s just wrong :(

As a driver, I like the bike lanes because it keeps all those Uber delivery bikers from swerving on and off the road. Giving them their own space away from me on those busy roads is so much better. Plus it’s such a huge waste of money to get rid of the lanes that we just built!

It makes absolutely NO sense to spend millions of dollars to remove the bike lanes on Bloor St., Yonge St., and University Ave. after we already spent millions to install them. Read more

help me write a convincing argument to why the removal of bike lanes in Toronto will only increase traffic congestion as cyclists will be forever to use transit and car instead of cycling. this is what i have so far: Read more

Removing bike lanes is insane. Consider: - they reduce bike deaths by 44% which is incredibly high. How can you justify killing 44% more Ontarians? - they contribute to cities becoming less car centric which is a good thing. Read more

I strongly disagree with Bill 212. Reducing bike lanes is definitely a step back in advancing alternate methods of transportation, limiting the impact on the environment and maintaining a commute option for those who choose not to own a car. Read more

This will make my commute by bike to work rather dangerous along Bloor. I will probably have to buy a car to get to work and cancel my bike share subscription if the bike lanes are removed.

Stop this bill. Cycling is a mode of transportation and deserves its own infrastructure to make it safe and efficient for users, like any transportation mode. If you want to deal with congestion, open the new transit systems like the LRT which has been delayed forever. Read more

This piece of legislation goes too far. As a society, we've decided that things like the environment, and the right to protect our own land from being taken are important, yet this bill wants to make a massive and expensive project happen without regard for either of these. Read more

Based on the principle of induced demand, adding lanes of traffic is not a long-term solution to alleviating traffic concerns in a city. The best ways are investing in world-class public transit and alternative modes of transportation (i.e. biking). Read more
