The bike lanes on Yonge and Bloor did not replace a lane of traffic. Lane capacity is determined at intersections, where these roads open up to two lanes per direction - typically one through lane and one turning lane.

Removing bike lanes is draconian. We need MORE active transportation infrastructure to promote healthy living, more options for families, the environment, and most of all safety. This is a step backward and I strongly oppose this.
This bill is reckless and it will endanger both cyclists and motorists. There is enough construction tearing apart our streets and making the city less and less accessible to pedestrians, tearing apart bike lanes will just make it worse.
PROTECT OUR BIKE LANES. FUND PUBLIC TRANSIT.

DO NOT CANCEL ANY BIKE LANES! Please, rethink this expensive and destructive knee jerk action.
Bike lanes are an important safety feature to keep traffic flowing. Continuous bike lanes keep needed bikes out of the way of trucks and work traffic and keep our family members safe!

I live in the west end. There has been construction for a year putting in bike lanes. My entire family ages 10-58 use them. It’s a wonderful way to get excercise and a wonderful way to keep our air quality up. Please do NOT remove our much needed bike lanes!
Please keep the bike lanes. I would be forced to drive a car or take an Uber for my commute which uses large portions of Bloor if they were removed. They're absolutely necessary for my safety.
Bill 212 is dangerous, expensive, and foolish. It will kill cyclists like me. It is a waste of taxpayer money to take out bike lanes that were just put in- and believe me, as soon as they are gone the community will fight until they are put back in.

This project goes against trying to reduce gridlock. It also goes against climate change initiatives. It goes against encouraging people to be more active. It goes against the safety of cyclists, pedestrians and drivers.

This proposal costs too much money, will make traffic worse, and represents undue interference in municipal affairs for provincial political purposes.

I use the bloor bike lanes daily for a 14km commute to save time and take my car off the road. I stop at businesses every day along my route because it is easy to do so and park and lock my bike.

I am a 48 year old mom, and my daughter is 10. I grew up biking as a young adult in Toronto, before the bike lanes on Bloor existed. Back then, there was a lot of chaos and it was quite dangerous for cyclists, and cars, because the bikes had no were to go.

The cost and social implications of removing bike paths is unacceptable.
Also removing environmental assessments is a step backwards and should not be allowed to be exempted.
This bill should not pass.
Bike lanes are essential. Toronto already has pretty poor cycling infrastructure compared to most Western cities, and lags behind even Canadian cities like Vancouver, Montreal, Ottawa. The idea that we would want to regress further and make our city less attractive is absurd
I am opposed to removing vehicle traffic lanes to build bike lanes on Bloor Street in Mississauga. Recently three new condo building have been erected on Dixie close to Bloor. Another condo on Bloor E. is under construction.

I do not support the removal of bike lanes on Bloor St, Yonge St, and University Avenue. Bike lanes are an efficient addition to the traffic flow and are used by many residents for work and /or recreational purposes.

Removing bike lanes is not a solution to the problem of increasing traffic congestion. The solution for a more equitable city and clean air city is to keep the bike lanes in Toronto. Almost every single one of my coworkers bikes to work using Bloor Street.
