It's important to realize that the estimate of 1.2% of bike riders is incorrect. The number of riders in downtown Toronto is closer to 10%. If every one of those bikes was a car, just think of the traffic congestion and also the increased carbon emissions.

As a long time resident of downtown Toronto. I have seen how the bike lanes on Bloor helped businesses thrive. It’s created a safer situation for both cyclists and pedestrians as well as reduced traffic by helping people choose alternative methods of transits.

This bill is a dreadful idea, for two reasons. First, bike lanes segregate bike and car traffic, which reduces accidents and promotes cycling, which is good from public health and climate change perspectives.

Please safe the bikers, they want to live healthy and also reduce the number of vehicles, that means the better and healthier environment.
See Amsterdam!!!! Most of the people are using bike, they live healthier than the people here in Toronto.
Safe the bikers!!!
I am writing to express my strong opposition to Bill 212, which proposes the removal of bike lanes in Ontario. This bill, if passed, would have significant negative impacts on the environment, public health, and the quality of life in our communities.

Use an evidence based approach when it comes to bike lanes, and stop making it about politics. Look at statistics and facts! Everyone deserves to be safe on the roads in our city.
To whom it may concern:
Oh boy. This is a really power-centric bill. There is NO GOOD reason to get this bill passed. The provincial government needs to let the municipalities decide their future … not the provincial government!!

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.

expending what limited monies and resources there are to take away something that is already there, rather than dealing with the over congestion because of too many cars, poor roads, poor public transportation and ongoing construction, is folly. it's absurd, and dumb.

I do not feel safe when biking in busy areas where there is no bike lane. Biking helps me keep fit and saves me money and as a 69 year old woman on a very limited budget these two issues are very important to me, keep the bile lanes where they are!
This bill is an exercise in stupidity, cynicism, and wanton disregard for public safety. I can't say I'm surprised, but as ever with Doug Ford, I'm disgusted.
Why does the honorable Minister of Transportation disregard the report from the BIA and condescendly stated: "Yeah I also talked to some folks and they don't agree".

As a frequent user of the Bike Lanes on Bloor, I would be very inconvenienced by their removal. As an artist, my income is disproportional to the contributions artists like me make to the multi billion dollar tourism industry. I neither own a car, nor a house.

I am inspired by the people in Copenhagen - a city similar in climate to Toronto. "Copenhageners cycle an estimated 1.44 million kilometres daily. 49% of all trips to work or school in Copenhagen are by bike, up from 35% just ten years ago.

I am very concerned about the removal of the bike lanes in this bill. But, I am also concerned - perhaps even more so - about the overriding of the Environmental Assessment Act for building Highway 413.
