Please keep bike lanes! Congestion will not be relieved by adding an extra lane, but bicycler safety will definitely be adversely affected. Cycling is the future of transportation if we invest in it as more people can be moved through bike lane than by car. Read more

As a university student who doesn't have the funds for a car, why would I ever support a bill that allows the provincial government to make it harder to use alternative means of transportation and makes it more difficult for cities to build alternative transportation. Read more

I disagree with this Bill. Bike lanes save lives and have been proven to cause minimal impact on car driving times. Lives saved are worth more than mere minutes. Read more

As a driver in Toronto, I believe that bike lanes are extremely important in keeping us all safe. Cyclists will use these roads whether there are bike lanes or not, and having a protected space to keep them safe and away from cars is critical. Read more

I am a 27 year-old Toronto resident. I have been cycling in Toronto, both recreationally and as a commuter, for most of my life. I was also a recreational and commuter cyclist in Ottawa for three years between 2019 and 2022. Read more

To Whom It May Concern: I am a lifelong resident of Ontario and I strongly oppose the substance and intent of Bill 212. I will be brief in my comments regarding the substance of the bill; others more eloquent than I have commented at length on that. Read more

removing bike lanes is nonsensical and dangerous. people need to be incentivized to ride bikes MORE, not less. if anything, infrastructure needs to be modified to be made SAFER for cyclists. saving car users 2 minutes is not worth the hurt that this would inevitable cause.

I'm against this bill. Bike lanes (mobility lanes) ease congestion, save lives and support local business, but you know that already I'm sure. Building new highways will only add to congestion, but i'm sure you know that already as well. Read more

Biking is one of the ways people move about in the city and having people on bikes reduces the number in cars and reduces congestion. Condos are being built with minimal parking spots and more bike spaces. Read more

I was devastated to hear that the government wants to take out the bike lanes on Bloor and University. These are lanes that I use every week to go to work meetings, dance class, run errands, visit friends, go to the hospital or my doctor. I am writing to beg you to please reconsider. Read more

Doug Ford does not have a valid argument or even supportive data to buttress his theory that traffic congestion in Toronto is the result bike lanes, or the 3 specific bike lanes he wants to remove (those on Bloor Street, Yonge Street, and University Avenue). Read more

I strongly object to Bill 212, as it would add unnecessary red tape and bureaucracy hindering local governments from advancing important transportation initiatives. Read more
