Please keep the bike lanes in Toronto. It’s safer for all of us - drivers and cyclists to have distinct lanes and traffic lights. I’m willing to sacrifice time knowing my teenagers can safely bike to school.

Bike lanes are an essential component of Toronto's shared streets. They help keep us all safe while we get around the city. Research has shown us time and again that more lanes for cars DOES NOT decrease traffic congestion. Read more

Bike lanes are an essential component of reducing congestion and protecting cyclists and other users. I am outraged that my Provincial government would consider tearing out infrastructure paid for by citizen's taxes. Read more

Thanks for the opportunity to comment. Aside from the obvious benefits of all Toronto bike lanes for safety and environmental concerns, let me point out an immediate and practical point that this proposal to remove lanes seems to ignore: Business in neighbourhoods! Read more

I have been riding a bike on Bloor street for the last two years, all round the year. I have seen the huge difference it makes to have a bike lane. I will, once again, fear for my safety if they are gone.

I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the Province’s proposal to remove bike lanes on Yonge Street, Bloor Street, and University Avenue under the Bill 212 Act. As a UHN employee and avid cyclist, I have commuted over 14,197 miles by bike since 2020. Read more

Please remove the bike lanes on Bloor street. There is about one bike for every thousand cars. All the cars are cutting through side streets. Humbercrest Blvd between BabyPoint and Old Mill is like a highway now. The knock on effect in the community is terrible. Read more

Please keep the bike lanes and let the City of Toronto work out what needs to be done locally. Anything that separates out motor vehicles and cyclists is a good thing! As a driver I hate having to cope with cyclists in my path. Particularly after dark. Read more

Please get rid of these bike lanes! I've seen more bike and pedestrian accidents since they've been installed, and they have caused traffic to become absurdly slow (contributing to air pollution).

This is certainly one of the must blatant exercises to buy votes from car drivers. I am one incidentally and if grid luck is a problem for me I walk or TTC or Uber it. Read more

Bike lanes help car traffic move better and faster. As a motorist I appreciate knowing where the bikes are and not being scared they will have to veer out into traffic - to go around an obstacle or turn etc. I also appreciate they are protected. Read more

I am a 64-year-old resident of Etobicoke who owns a car and sees that the only way forward for Ontario in the long term is to encourage people to use their cars less and instead travel using less toxic methods. Read more

Ridiculous proposal. I am a car driver and do not ride in the city. I want bike lanes to keep bikes as safe as possible while I drive, and the last thing any car driver wants is an accident or near miss with a bike. Read more

I am a 57 year old resident of downtown Toronto. Driving through downtown Toronto, as you know, is a frustrating experience. As such, I find it far more efficient, and pleasant, to ride my bike everywhere. The dedicated bike lanes have transformed my experience as a cyclist. Read more
