Dear City - Bike Lanes are unused. Putting them on major streets is insane. Consider putting them along King and Streetcars & Bikes can pass through the centre of the city. It is absolutely ridiculous that they've been put on major arteries through the city.

This proposal is based on misinformation and will result in little to no improvement to traffic congestion but instead a predictable increase in injuries and deaths.

As an older cyclist, I use the bike lanes on University frequently to go north/south. Eliminating these lanes and others will make it very difficult for me to get around town. We have too many cars on the roads with one person in them.

Toronto and the rest of Ontario need MORE bike lanes, not less. The best cities in the world each year have as main features being pedestrian and bike-friendly and safe spaces.

I am very strongly AGAINST the Conservative government's proposal to require cities to have provincial government approval to add bike lanes to city streets.

I understand that gridlock in Toronto is a problem created mostly by construction projects. More cyclists would mean fewer cars and a healthier population. Currently I am a fraud to Nike on most streets except the ones with dedicated bike lanes.

This decision seems hasty and ill-thought-out. The government doesn't even have a real idea how much money it will cost to remove these lanes, nor does it have a plan on how to make sure that people on the road remain safe.

Bike lanes are essential in Toronto. They serve a dual purpose. By slowing down traffic they ensure safer bike travel and promote the ease of cycling in Toronto.
Please do not use my tax dollars to tear the existing bike lanes up.
We need more not less bike lanes in the downtown core.
I do not agree with a lot of the bike lanes in this city. People rarely ride bikes all year yet we use cars all the time. Bike lanes should not be on major roads causing a removal of a car lane.

The proposed act ignores several truths:
1). we are in a climate emergency and this act ignores the need to reduce the number of carbon emitting vehicles on the roads.

The bike lanes are a very important part of Toronto’s modern infrastructure. Ford has proven time and again that he thinks short-term. Bikes are a way forward and produce no GHG’s. People are healthier riding bikes than driving cars and the fact is that most traffic congestion is caused by:

This proposal is contrary to the public interest in that it would subject more cyclists to the dangers of travelling in motor vehicle traffic, resulting in increased numbers of injuries and deaths, cause individuals to switch their mode of transport from cycling to a pollution-emitting mode, increas

As someone who does not own a car, when I'm not taking public transit I am either walking or using Toronto Bikeshare. Without bike lanes on Bloor, Yonge, and University, I would not be able to get around the city.

The Bloor, University and Yonge bicycle lanes are life saving additions to the city of Toronto transportation network and are contributing to traffic reduction. I am a cyclist and a driver.

The solution for traffic congestion in downtown Toronto is not adding more lanes of vehicular traffic--this has proven time and again to increase congestion; it's called "induced demand".

I am deeply opposed to Bill 212. This provincial government has shown time and time again that it is self-interested and politically motivated, putting itself and its survival ahead of the broader interests of Ontarians. This bill will not reduce gridlock and save people time.
