I oppose these changes to the framework and believe this would increase the effects of income disparity by reducing the accessibility of bicycling as a viable and sustainable mode of transportation.

Bike lanes are so important for reducing traffic. If bike lanes are removed, you end up with bikes on the road with cars which is way worse for traffic and much less safe.
Bike lanes are not the issue here. Carefully considered car lane reduction is often beneficial for traffic control, where it makes sense to do so. This bill is a massive overreach of the provincial government. You are not a king, Doug.

In this time of repeatedly proven climate changes affecting the planet earth in already realized dire ways, it is absolutely shameful for any elected representative to support this proposal that puts the automobile ahead of the bicycle as a path to the future.

I do not understand why the provincial government is going out of its way to add red tape for municipal governments. If people do not like bike lanes built by a municipal government, we can already go to our municipal governments to have our voices heard.

We should not be adding vehicular lanes on top of high-level transit modes below. Biking is first and last mile public transit allowing people to safe get to their subway station.

We have always been avid cyclist and enjoyed the recreational cycling trails in Toronto, such as along the Lake Shore. We always wanted to make cycling a part of our daily routine in the city, beyond the weekend rides.

I live near Bloor, and I rely on the Bloor bike lanes to travel around the city. I do not own a car, and bicycling is my primary mode of transportation, even during the winter!
The data is clear that when people can bike safely on bike paths, they choose that option.

Absolutely not. I actually live and work here, no one who doesn't should be making my traffic decisions. This is a TORONTO decision for TORONTONIANS. Stick to your lane!
I'm vehemently opposed to Bill 212. I believe removing bike lanes will only make gridlock worse by forcing people who would commute by bike to instead take their car, since it's left as their only option.

As we are battling climate change, let’s put more vehicles on the roads and less non polluting mode of transportation off the roads…. This is by far the worst idea I’ve ever heard. First of all, bike lanes are good for any city, they reduce pollution, encourage people to stay active.

This proposal to remove existing bike lanes in Toronto is misguided and an extreme misuse of taxpayer’s dollars. As a resident who has chosen to live car-free, I rely on bike infrastructure to get around efficiently and safely. Removing these lanes will:

Any legislation to remove bike lanes or deter municipalities from putting them in is regressive in light of the current climate crisis. Please focus on improving public transportation and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
I volunteer with Cycling Without Age (CWA), a program that gives shut-in Seniors the right to the wind in their hair with rides on pedal assist electric trishaw. Bike lanes, especially protected ones, are essential to their safety (all of our safety).
