How come people who do not even live in the city (let's include Etobicoke) in there are try to push forward something that affects the livelihood of people who live in the city when they infrequently visit the city and refuse to take public transportation? Read more

This is a ridiculous overstep by the provincial government. I personally drive, ride, ttc, and walk around the city and safe and accessible bike lanes has been a game changer. I spend much less time in my car. I also feel much safer on bike lanes. Read more

Bike lanes are extremely important for travel around the city. Limiting things to outside of main streets will impact a large amount of commuters around the city including myself. I would be against the current iteration of this bill

I am writing to express my profound dismay at the Progressive Conservatives' recent efforts to not only limit the development of new bike lanes, but even to rip up existing bike lanes along Bloor, Yonge and Avenue. Read more

It’s shortsighted, dangerous, and expensive to remove existing bike lanes from Toronto streets. Toronto has spent years and tens of millions of dollars to implement a city wide cycling infrastructure that moves people safely and efficiently. Read more

I am a constituent and daily car driver in the Scarborough-Agincourt riding (093) and I strongly oppose the Ontario government's Bill 212 to remove existing bike lanes and obstruct future bike lane construction. Read more

I strongly object to the proposal to remove bike lanes in Toronto, and to need the approval of the province to put in new bike lanes in the future. Canada has signed the Paris Accord, which requires a steep reduction in our carbon emissions. Read more

Please do not remove any bike lanes. I have really enjoyed exploring all of the possibilities of travel in Toronto by bicycle. I tend to only go to built up areas that have safe bike infrastructure. Read more

Ridiculously short-sited, endangers citizens, and is a benefit to no one but the premier & those who still think cars are the way of the future. Such a knee-jerk policy that everyone I know of thinks is a waste of time & tax-payer dollars. I can bike around Toronto faster than a car can drive. Read more

I don't believe Provincial overreach is the answer to a city's issues. This feels like a slippery slope. What happens if the province decides bus lanes need to be removed or sidewalks shrunk to make more parking? This isn't how a 3 tiered government should work. Read more

I live in downtown Toronto and own both a car and a bicycle. Ever since the bike lanes were established I have felt safer and now travel most often by bike thus reducing the amount of cars and congestion on the road. Please keep our bike lanes for everyone’s safety!

Removing bike lanes will not reduce traffic congestion but instead will make the roads less safe for vulnerable road users, such as bicycle riders. Having connected sections of bicycle lanes is important to allow cyclists to commute. Read more

Eliminating ANY of Toronto's separated bike lanes will cause more accidents and likely deaths of both cyclists and wheelchair users. Moreover, the cyclists and wheelchair users will be forces back into the traffic lanes causing car traffic to slow down resulting in...gridlock. Read more

A vehicle that is driven down the street. When it gets to it's destination, it is parked at the side of the road. No matter how many passengers were in that vehicle, that one vehicle remains to completely block that lane. Compare that to bicycles. Read more

Most bike lanes do not replace actual traffic lanes, but parking space. It is absurd that in this country, we let people park their cars and trucks in major “arteries”. Bikes are not slowing down traffic, they ARE traffic. Parking cars are slowing down traffic.
