Our family really value the bike lanes we have in Toronto. 3 of us ride our bikes from the High Park area to downtown regularly and only feel safe doing that because there are dedicated lanes with barriers that separate us from traffic. Bike lanes are critical in encouraging Torontonians to bike. Read more

As an Ontario taxpayer who uses the bike lanes in Toronto almost daily - I can only say the proposal to remove existing bike lanes is entirely ignorant. It goes against study after study of data and will do nothing to combat the (real) issue of congestion in the city. Read more

This proposal is absurd. To fix the issues with traffic in the city, we need more alternative transportation options that are safe and reliable. Bike lane infrastructure is an obviously great way to provide people a safe lane to use so they can bike to work and not have to drive. Read more

This bill is essentially allowing the province to go back in time and stop any hope we had for tackling climate change. We do not need more highways in Ontario. We need more people on bikes and transit to not only help the environment but to also improve our own health and safety. Read more

As far as I can tell the proposal to remove bike lanes is ideological, as the Government has yet to provide research or evidence on which it has based its decision. Read more

The provincial government cannot touch municipal infrastructure like bike lanes. I bike daily, and I see bike lanes used heavily. What the province should do is provide more options for people to live more carbon-neutrally, not fight this progress. Read more

We live in a city. The entire point here is that we’re able to rely on smaller circuits of commuting and the ability to use public transit and cycling on a smaller network. We know North America focuses on cars. Read more

I am writing to you as a concerned resident and cyclist of Toronto to express my strong opposition to Bill 212, which proposes the removal of bike lanes in our city. Read more

Bike lanes are essential in Toronto. The population without a vehicle has only options of transit, cycle or walk. Ensuring these options are safe for the population is required to sustain the population growth in this city. Read more

I think this proposal is not only a bonkers approach to the congestion problem, it also feels like extreme provincial government overreach into the affairs of Toronto. Read more

This is a ridiculous waste of taxpayer dollars and will result in more injuries to bike riders further straining our healthcare system. Won’t even make a dent in the traffic issues this city is facing.

This bill is so problematic and short sighted. First, the province should not over-rule the city's careful process of planning and decision making. Toronto's mobility infrastructure and policy should primarily be decided by the people who live here and rely on these roads every day. Read more

I strongly oppose the proposed removal of bike lanes on Bloor, Yonge, and University and the move to centralize control over cycling infrastructure. Bike lanes reduce traffic, cut emissions, and make streets safer. Read more

BIKE LANES ARE IMPORTANT FOR NOT ONLY REDUCING GRID LOCK BUT ALSO THE EFFECTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE AND CREATING A HEALTHIER AND MORE ACCESSIBLE CITY FOR ALL. I DO NOT SUPPORT THE PROPAGANDA THAT DOUG FORD IS SPREADING I DO NOT SUPPORT THE REMOVAL OF BIKE LINES FOR EASE OF CARS. Read more

I am not in favour of this Act. We have paid for these bike lanes, in time, money and resources. To rip out the bike lanes now would be a complete waste of more time and more money, as well as creating more waste. Read more
