Reducing the need for car travel is better for health, the environment and public safety. Yet your divisive government continues to take this province back to the 1950's.

I am a 50 year old woman. I ride my bike to work regularly and I use the Bloor bike lanes. I used to be regularly squeezed into the gutter by cars but now I am much safer. Please do not remove the bike lanes that I use on a weekly basis.

Please, I don't want Ontario to use our taxpayer dollars to REMOVE bikelanes that already exist because that will lead to more bike deaths and we already have enough.
Removing the bike lanes is dangerous to people lives. That should be reason enough to keep them. Other than that, they do not actually make congestion worse.

This proposed legislation is simply culture war, wedge issue politics, and does not follow any fact, logic, or the decades of data from around the world.

My sons are on those roads. Bike lanes keep them alive.
I beg you not to proceed with Bill 212.
I am a mom of two boys. We all ride our bikes in the city. The bike lanes keep us safe.

This bill, if passed, would endanger the lives of cyclists and it makes no economic sense.
There's only so much you can do to stay safe as a cyclist: take a defensive cycling course, keep your bike tuned, wear a helmet, and wear reflective gear and put lights on your bike when it's dark.

Hello,
I am a frequent user of bike lanes, as are many of my friends and family members. Bike lanes make travel by alternative means than combustion engines more accessible and safe.

1. The City of Toronto, or any other municipality that has done due diligence in this matter, is most qualified to install or remove bike lanes, rather than the provincial government
2. Bike lanes save lives.

I strongly oppose the bill, particularly the proposal to remove bike lanes from Yonge St. I am 71 years old, and recently retired. I have been using the Yonge St bike lanes since shortly after they were installed.

I object to the basic premise of this proposed legislation. Car drivers, which includes myself, are not inherently deserving of more resources in the form of space to permit us to drive more quickly to our destination.

I use the bike lanes on Danforth and Bloor to commute to work. My ride used to be very scary and I hesitated to ride. But it is so much safer as a result of the new lanes. They are precious. I can get into work faster than by car or by subway. It is a big mistake to get rid of the bike lanes.
I strongly oppose any plan that would reduce bike lanes in Toronto. Without bike lanes riding a bike in the city becomes increasingly dangerous. Doing so will increase the injury and fatality rate for bikers. Too many cars, including Ubers and Lyfts are the problem.

As reported by City of Toronto, "[m]any households in Toronto do not own a car - 28% city-wide and 55% in the downtown." Many people rely on cycling to get to where they need to go, and a huge number of trips are under 5km, meaning they can easily be done on a bike.

I am very disappointed about this proposal and I do not support it. Bike lanes improve road safety and improve traffic long term. This proposal is divisive and not creating long term solutions that address the underlining issue and protect the safety of all Ontarians.
This should be a municipal issue - it interfaces with housing development
the government needs to look at alternatives to driving such as protected bike lanes, subsidizing public transit.

This legislation is short sighted at best and potentially dangerous at worst. Keeping traffic lanes only encourages car usage(induced demand).. creating gridlock.

I strongly support the removal of bike lanes on main thoroughfares such as Bloor, Yonge etc. I live in Bloor West Village and walk the stretch of Bloor between Jane and High Park nearly every day. I see very few bikes, sometimes none at all.
