I use the bloor bike lane everyday for at least 9 months of the year (usually more, and am still riding well into November). I know at least 10 people who bike more regularly because they newly have access to bike lanes and feel safe using them. I bike because it’s fast Read more

Please do not move forward with Bill 212. I am a graduate student at the University of Toronto and I live in the Bloorcourt neighbourhood. The easiest and most affordable for me to get to school each day is to bike using the bike lane on Bloor Street. Read more

This bill is a gross overstep of provincial power. Bike lanes are a municipal issue and affect the residents of the city they are implemented in. Suburbanites should not take priority to those who actually live in the city. Bike lanes are VITAL to reducing congestion. Read more

I am writing to express my strong opposition to specific provisions in Bill 212, the Reducing Gridlock, Saving You Time Act, 2024. While I understand the importance of infrastructure development, I believe the approach outlined in the bill raises significant concerns. Read more

I am firmly opposed to Ontario Bill 212 (Reducing Gridlock, Saving You Time Act, 2024) for several reasons. This legislation’s proposal to remove bike lanes as a strategy to alleviate traffic congestion is fundamentally misguided and lacks substantial evidence to support its effectiveness. Read more

Please do not send Ontario traffic back in time to when everyone had to drive a car or take the transit. Our transit system cannot accommodate everyone who would ride it if it were more convenient. Read more

I strongly disagree with the entirety of Bill 212. I don't even live in Toronto and I think this is a ridiculous waste of taxpayer money and a total overreach of the Doug Ford government. Read more

Bike lanes are imperative to a safe and environmentally friendly commuting community. Please keep them - it is critical to ensure safety for cyclists, which also helps to keep our city working toward green transit.

I do not understand why the province is overstepping their grounds in this case. I believe that this should be dealt with city by city as decided by the municipal government. This is overeaching and also completely going against where our province should be heading. Read more

We can not have bike lanes removed. Already cycling in Toronto is a harrowing experience. The protected bike lanes are the only thing that has stopped me driving recently: I now cycle from Downtown Toronto to union station, catch the go train to Oakville, and cycle to work. Read more

As someone who actually lives in Toronto proper, these bike lanes have enabled me to commute across the city for work, leisure, and social commitments. I feel more connected to my community, and as a result spend more time utilizing public infrastructure and as a patron to local businesses. Read more

25 bikes fit into the space that 2 cars occupy. Tell me again how bikes make traffic worse. Remember, without bike lanes, bikes are encouraged to take the lane as any other vehicle would.

This is an idiotic proposal. All of the streets that are targeted for bike lane removal currently have parking lanes as well. Removing bike lanes will not increase the speed of travel for drivers in any significant way. Read more
