Cars, too many of them are the real problem with gridlock. If we now add bicycles back into traffic lanes, everything will probably slow down even further and it will be unsafer for cyclists bc they are not encased in a 2 ton hunk of metal and will have to resort back to using a car.

Bill 212 is an egregious overreach by the province into municipal affairs, creating unnecessary bureaucracy and preventing cities from making decisions tailored to their unique transportation needs.

Cycling the streets of Toronto is a scary proposition, when you have to share the street with all manner of vehicles whizzing by; cars, buses, trucks of all sizes, and even transport trucks.

this would be an incredibly bad thing for the city as it would incentivize more people to drive thus increasing congestion and basically putting the city in a position where it suffers from even more gridlock than it ever had before.

Removing bike lanes help no-one! Most existing lanes aren't even finished, and those that are are dangerous and unprotected. Stop killing Canada by requiring cars for basic safety.
These bike lanes are very well used and reduce car traffic substantially. I use them every day to go to work. I have a car and I use the car instead because with the bike lanes I can travel safely. If there were no bike lanes I would not bike but use the car instead.

I am a driver, biker, and pedestrian in Toronto.
I would gladly give up a drive lane to add a bike lane. I choose to bike rather than drive wherever there is an option for a safe biking route.

Acknowledging that all modes of transit, including bikes, play an important part of of creating a functioning city.
Removing well thought out bike lanes will not improve travel times for cars. Bikes will not go away and will continue to use the roadway.

I am a cyclist and urban designer who commutes to work daily. In August 2024, I was hit by a car on a residential street near a school. I’m still recovering, but I was lucky—the car was going 35 km/h. At a higher speed, the outcome could have been far worse.

YES PLEASE remove ALL bike lanes from main roads downtown especially on Yonge , Dupont , Bay and Bloor Streets .... Living and driving in the downtown core since the installation of bike lanes has made driving extremely difficult and frustrating.

As a low income person, bike lanes provide me a mode of transit all year where I can feel safe and able to work without delays or added costs. In the winter, the bike lanes reduce my fears of ice and snow in addition to cars.

Please do not remove bike lanes from our city roads. Bike lanes are by far the most important piece of infrastructure that allows and encourages more cycling. Cycling confidence and safety are greatly improved with these designated lanes.
