As a resident of Toronto, I use the bike lanes on Richmond and Adelaide almost every day. The barriers provide a lot of safety for me. I have biked in the city for almost 30 years and I love the bike lanes. They make a huge difference. Read more

My family of five uses bike lanes daily, even in sub-zero temperatures. We depend on protected lanes specifically to get our children (3, 7, and 9) to daycare and school. Read more

I do not support the bill to remove bike lanes. As a driver I feel that bike lanes are a safer option for cyclists. This is a total overreach into municipal affairs. It’s also a waste of money to remove them.

When I drive downtown the bike lanes are not the major problem I see. Unexpected temporary road closures are a much bigger problem for traffic. If these could be better coordinated and advertised it would help. Read more

I am extremely against Bill 212. It is a waste of taxpayer money and the proposal to remove bike lanes in order to reduce traffic congestion is flawed. Where will all the people riding their bikes go? Read more

Dear Premier Ford, Please, please, please do not remove bike lanes. Every bike is one less car, which contributes to LESS congestion. It is so scary and unsafe biking on streets without bike lanes. Read more

I drive regularly when I need to cart heavy stuff or when I have a long way to go. I also ride my bike to work every day using dedicated bike lanes. These lanes have made it a lot safer for me while having a minimal impact on me as a car driver. They’re part of a modern city. Read more

Simply put, this legislation represents a step backwards for municipalities and the province. Bike lanes should not be blamed for gridlock. Too many personal cars on the roads are the cause. Read more

Please, PLEASE, consider the safety benefits of the existing bike lanes. Removing existing lanes will lead to road fatalities. Develop a future plan, but please let the current lanes remain.

The proposed Bill 212 is terrible policy because it will actually increase gridlock. I am not a regular cyclist but I'm supportive of safe bike lanes because they help move people through the city, and they make the roads and sidewalks safer for everyone. Read more

There are thousands more people living in downtown Toronto every year. A good number of them rides a bike when the TTC is not a better option (and it's often not). Bike lanes encourage them to do so, which is also a community-builder. Read more

This distraction can't fly. Stop the 413 developer buddy highway and knock off this bike lane crap. Finish the transit projects that are started and put more money into heath care. This is stupid!

The bike lanes in Toronto have become essential for thousands of people who need to travel safely. By removing them you are proposing to put lives in jeopardy. Bloor St is a much needed avenue of travel for all commuters not in cars, and we should be encouraging the use of bike travel. Read more

This regressive bill will increase congestion, decrease safety and is anti- democratic. I am trying to get around in my neighborhood by bike and the patchwork of bike lanes on Eglinton is not helpful. So I get in my car too often. Please expand the bike lane network. Do NOT decrease it.
