As someone who frequently drives, cycles, walks, as well as subways on Bloor Street quite often, I believe that the removal of these bike lanes will only cause more distress and be an overall kerfuffle to both drivers and cyclists.

Feedback on bill 212 - bike trips are very positive - they reduce the number of car trips, reduce pollution, increase one's health and lower health care costs.
I drive a car and I ride my bike. I ride my bike more thus removing my vehicle from the road if there are safe places to ride my bike. Keep the bike lanes, they reduce traffic. I do not support this legislation.
Hello,
I am very concerned about the proposed removal of bike lanes in Toronto. First, as a cyclist myself, I want to have a safe and protected way to get around (to work, to the store, to visit friends, etc., not just for commuting!).

This bill is a complete waste of money and goes against all accepted city-planning expertise and decades of studies supporting bike lanes as safe. More lanes just gives more traffic and fewer safe alternatives.

Removing the bike lanes is a backwards proposal and is not only making the roads dangerous for bike riders, but also is a waste of tax money. This is a perfect example of corruption. Closing the Ontario Science Center is another corruption example in our city of Toronto. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

The province seems to be unaware of what induced demand is. Studies have shown that removing bike lanes will do nothing to fix traffic, as any traffic improvements temporarily gained will quickly vanish as cars once again fill up the streets and gridlock ensues.

Writing as a cyclist and driver who lives in the neighbourhoods directly impacted by this decision, I am in complete opposition to the proposed legislation. The bike lanes allow my children and I to safely commute to work, school, and other family activities.

You said its all based on data.
Well the data is in and it shows that bike lanes benefit the local communities, and that removing them will be a waste of taxpayer money.

We should have implemented bike lane since the 50s. Please look how EU does bike lanes. We should feel safe and children to bike. Biking is not just for poor people but for health and fitness and especially if you live in the cityn people should not be diying biking. Cars already get a lot.

Children and teens and adults need a lane to bike in. Vars cause grid lock not bikes. Now your just add bike into the car lanes. Maybe look at thr provin evidence instead of just making changes for once
