Hello,
Please do not remove bike lanes and please continue to build them especially in Toronto.
My area is being crammed with condos - without bike and bike lanes my area will be an absolute nightmare.
Thank you,
Geneviève
Bike lanes and public transport are the hallmarks of progressive, modern international cities. Accommodating more single passenger cars is not. I hope that adding more bike lanes is in fact the future plan. The more options that exist for people in this city, the better for all of us.
Bike lanes make Toronto a city that is easier to get around and more livable. Using a bike instead of a car offers residents the opportunity to make a commute enjoyable, environmentally friendly and a source of individual exercise.

I am strongly opposed to this bill. As someone who lives just off Bloor Street and uses both a car and a bicycle for transportation I LOVE the Bloor bikes lanes. I feel a thousand percent safer riding my bike on Bloor then when there wasn't bike lanes.

You talk about helping "drivers" , but Cyclists are drivers too and have no where else to ride. Bill 212 hurts everyone except a few lazy, polluting drivers whose cars get bigger and bigger every year on the few roads that have bike lanes.

Bike lanes are important because they make roads safer for cyclists and drivers, improve the environment, and promote sustainable transportation.

I rely on our protected bike lanes to keep me safe while I cycle to work and take my young daughter on errands and to swimming class. Removing bike lanes will not help ease congestion. There is congestion all over the city, and there aren't bike lanes all over the city.

City streets are not highways and should not be treated as such. The safety of everyone who uses these streets is paramount. Increasing traffic by increasing lanes will reduce safety.

I am a citizen living in the Greater Golden Horseshoe and a doctoral student in Urban Planning. I have significant concerns about this legislation as it seeks to limit options for active transportation and instead prioritizes automobile traffic.

Before the bike lanes were installed, I had been concerned that they would cause congestion and slow my travel time. In 2016 I was driving my three children between Bloor West Village and the University of Toronto where they swam competitively.

I think it is vitally important to support Toronto bike lanes. Bikes lanes are an important way to protect the environment. Bike lanes reduce congestion by getting more people out of their cars and onto bikes.
We are finally getting decent physically separated bike lanes, swarms of tourists use the city bikes to see this great city, bike lanes are busy and actually getting people where they want to go! We need more of this, not less!

Please do not demolish the bike lanes. They are a vital part of the city to encourage active transportation in a safer manner. The more people on bikes, the fewer people in cars.

I would like to submit my opinion that we should keep the bike lanes. My wife, my daughters and I all use the bike lanes and have felt safer since there installation. One of my daughters was hit a few years back when stopped on her bike at stop light.

This proposal does not consider the damaging impacts the removal of bike lanes has on the environment and health and safety of our communities.

I am writing to express my strong opposition to your proposed legislation (Bill 212) to restrict the
installation of bicycle lanes where motor vehicle lanes would be removed, as well as the removal
of several protected bicycle lanes in Toronto.

I am vehemently against the proposal for Bill 212. It is a concerning overreach by the provincial government into municipalities' jurisdictions.

The bike lanes in our neighbourhood on the Danforth have been a godsend. They are heavily used, and because they are separate, as a driver I don't have to worry about bicycles suddenly appearing beside me, or in front of me.
