I think honestly this would hinder and obliterate all the improvements Toronto has made on bike lanes and traffic congestion in general. Bike lanes are essential to the system of the city. Removing them would endanger more citizens.

The planned removal of bike lanes in Toronto is wrong headed and overreach on the part of the provincial government. The estimated $48million to remove said bike lanes could be used for much better purposes such as healthcare. Read more

I am a West Bend resident, and our household is car-owning and both myself and my partner are cyclists too. Bloor Street is my main route for commuting, whether that be in a car, by Line 2, or by bike. Read more

This is ridiculous and terrible. Bike lanes are great, they make the city more livable, and research shows that adding more lanes on an urban road doesn't even reduce congestion long term. Read more

Counterintuitive, useless, and dangerous proposal. Adding back one lane will have absolutely zero impact on gridlock in the city, and puts cyclists in greater danger by forcing them to share traffic with cars. Read more

This proposal is an overreach from the provincial government to intervene in municipal dealings. Moreover, reducing the opportunities for active transport not only harms the environment but it turns Toronto further into a commuter city and reduces the quality of living in the city. Read more

The bike lanes should be kept in place and more lanes of traffic should not be added. Adding more lanes for motor vehicles has been shown to promote induced demand, and does not solve gridlock. Read more

As someone who started riding a bike because of the accessibility that the Bloor bike lane provided me as a student at the University of Toronto, I find the proposed bill despicable. Read more

I am writing to oppose Bill 212’s proposal to subject new bike lanes to ministerial approval and existing bike lanes to ministerial review and removal orders. Read more

I'm opposed to the terrible legislation which is full of government overreach. Not only is it an affront to local democracy, but the provisions for expropriation of land for highways is an attack on property rights.

As a business that sees a lot of our customers biking to and from our location, it feels imperative that they have safe passage on our roads. Toronto has a vibrant and growing cycling culture, which is great for resident health, local businesses, community, reducing traffic, and pollution. Read more
