Many citizens of Toronto worked long and hard to achieve the bike lanes that were needed for bike commuters to safely get around the city. Great expense was put into thorough studies before decisions were made to install them. And great expense was put into installing them.

This Bill will sadly mean the end of many lives dn limit the freedom of many others. The lives of children, the lives of parents, daughters, sons, etc. I commute daily on the Bloor bike line from Royal York to St George and then take side streets to reach my work.

As a Toronto resident who both drives and makes use of cycle lanes in Toronto, I am completely opposed to the removal of bike lane infrastructure in this city. The notion that gridlock will be reduced by removing bike lanes is misguided and dangerous.

We live in the Main & Danforth area where there are multiple condos being built (at least 10) with the premise of low to no parking for cars, however plentiful areas to store your bike as an alternative to overcrowded line 2.

During the election Doug Ford told us we need less government interference. The city of Toronto has determined how to make it safer for everyone by installing bike lanes, and the province is trying to interfere.

This bill wastes millions already spent and will cost lives. Traffic won't improve, particularly short term. Please make decisions based on DATA, not gut feel, or what a few people who have your ear are saying.

As a commuter using a bicycle to get to work EVERY day for the last 35 years (throughout the year - yes, snow does not deter and we are 62 and 71!) I and many others really appreciate the bike lanes that have been built. I accept that there may be some inconvenience to car commuters.

I hope the Ontario Provincial government will reconsider what they're doing with the bike lanes. These bike lanes improve safety, encourage sustainable travel, make the street more pleasant to be on, and don't cause congestion (cars cause congestion).

As a senior in Toronto I despair at the possibility of going back in time to riding in mixed traffic, dodging car doors and hoping that I’ll make it home in one piece. What manner of idiocy is this, to contemplate removing and restricting bike lanes on our streets?!

I own Grey Tiger, a neighbourhood cocktail bar & bottle shop on Bloor Street West near Pauline Avenue. I am worried that by removing the Bloor bike lane, Bill 212—The Reducing Gridlock, Saving You Time Act—will hurt my business.

You were not given a mandate to usurp the decisions made by elected officials at city hall. To do so is to rob your own constituents of their democratic rights.

I am a recently retired person living in Toronto. I try to use cycling as a means of transportation as often as possible. I feel it benefits the environment, my own health, and lowers the amount of cars on the road.

I highly disagree with this proposal and I hope it does not get implemented. What Toronto needs is more bike-friendly infrastructure, not less. Different alternatives to driving should be viable for those who do not want to use a car or can't use a car.

I believe that the decision should be left to the municipalities and not be regulated by the provincial government, the municipality should know best about their area and needs and does not need a governing body getting involved.

Disappointed at this plan. It does not serve the needs of the people who use these roads most - those that live by them - people like me and my daughter. Because of the bike lanes on Bloor, we are able to bike to her activities, to go to the movies, and get to her friend’s house.

The bike lanes have changed the perception of biking in the city, making it safer and allowing people to choose cycling as a mode of transportation instead of driving. This should reduce traffic.

BLOOD On your hands...when ANYTHING is done that will increase the risk that a vulnerable road user will get injured.
I am a physician and have seen my share. My entire family have decreased traffic by choosing to cycle everywhere around the city.
