As a downtown resident, I rely every day on protected bike lanes to commute to and from work. The expansion of protected bike lanes in the city has been instrumental to increasing the safety and speed of my trip. Read more

I am a Torontonian that does not have a car. I primarily use TTC and cycling to get around. I am very opposed to the removal of existing bike lanes. With respect to the review of bike lanes, I do not believe it is clear how the data collected from municipalities will be used. Read more

My son uses bike lanes on Bloor street every day to get to school! It would take him 10 extra minutes each way if he had to take the TTC. Safe bike lanes give teenagers and those without a vehicle the freedom to get safely from one place to another on their own schedule. Read more

While this bill aims to protect vehicle lanes, it overlooks more effective solutions for reducing congestion. The approval process for bike lanes would increase municipal costs and project timelines, ultimately paid for by taxpayers. Read more

This is an ill-informed decision that will not mitigate congestion. I, a tax-paying Ontario Citizen, am abhorred at the Provincial overreach that is impeding infrastructure progress in our province. Read more

I strongly oppose Bill 212, Reducing Gridlock, Saving You Time Act, 2024, which introduces a top-down framework for managing bike lanes by requiring the removal of traffic lanes to follow provincial procedures. Read more

This bill will bypass critical environmental protections and endanger average Ontarians. There should be careful consideration and research done to support any expansion of car infrastructure and reduction or restriction on other traffic lanes, such as bike lanes. Read more

I support the legislation which is trying to limit bicycle lanes in metropolitan areas. I support any efforts the provincial government takes to remove the unused and potentially dangerous bicycle lanes on Bloor Street, especially in the west end of the city. Read more

These are the kinds of decisions that should be left to municipalities. Bike lanes make biking as transportation a safe option. Removing and limiting bike lanes either forces bikers into unsafe situations or adds more cars on the road.

Typically city planners will replace vehicle lanes with more efficient modes of transportation (bikes, public transit, etc.) once they reach capacity. This bill proposes the opposite. Cars are the least efficient mode of transportation in terms of number of people moved per hour. Read more

I ride my bike to work nearly every day in the year (including winter)! These proposed regulations are only going to make traffic problems worse. Every bike that’s on the road is one less car. Less cars means less congestion for cars because their competing with fewer people. Read more

The provincial government should not have any legal say in what municipalities do with their bike lanes. Bike lane infrastructure should be left to cities to decide on as they actually know what's happening at a local level. Read more

This is such a backward, silly, pandering waste of taxpayer money. The research has been done, bike lanes reduce traffic and gridlock by incentivizing fewer people to drive.
