I don’t want Bill 212 to pass because it threatens the bike lanes that so many of us depend on. They provide a safer way to travel, reduce traffic congestion, and encourage environmentally friendly transportation. Let’s protect these essential pathways.

Every day that the weather permits it I am riding my bike in the connected paths and lanes to work, to my family and friends, to shop, to do everything. It cannot be understated how important these bike lanes are for safety. I feel that I don't fear for my life when I am using the bike lanes. Read more

The removal of bike lanes will not appreciably improve traffic, and will simply result in streets that are more dangerous while wasting a huge amount of tax payer money. Read more

This project needs more data the support the rationale. Right now, the benefits are not clear and whether the gain would out-weight the cost involved for taking everything out.

Please listen to the experts and do not remove the bike lanes. Toronto has spent so much time and money to improve our cycling network, removing these lanes will waste resources and get cyclist killed.

Bike lanes are vital to this city! As a cyclist who commutes, bike lanes help keep me safer than if I were to bike in the same lane as cars. When I do have to bike on a road with no bike lanes, I am anxious the entire time. Read more

Hello! Hope you're having a nice day. I'm here to voice my opposition to bill 212. Decades of research shows the failure of adding lanes to reduce traffic and congestion, since the traffic throughput is bottle-necked by INTERSECTIONS. We have to trust the science here. Read more

Keep bike lanes, Doug! They are a vital party of a changing, growing city. Cars were a vital part of the city back when Fred Gardiner built his expressways, back in the 1960s. But that was a long, li=ong time ago. We have to move on. Read more

I adamantly oppose the removal of bike lanes in a growing city like Toronto. These lanes have already been paid for and studied over the last few years - removing them is not a responsible choice both financially and from a safety perspective. Read more

This Act is not based in any reliable expert opinion or research. Getting rid of bike lanes will do nothing to reduce cyclists, it just makes them more unsafe. It’s a slap in the face to anyone who understands urban planning. Read more

I moved into Toronto in 2011. Initially I had a car and motorcycle and had a paid parking spot in my apartment. After a few months, I realized that it made more sense to commute via bicycle than owning two motor vehicles. Read more

I am a constituent and daily car driver in the Annex and I strongly oppose the Ontario government's Bill 212 to remove existing bike lanes and obstruct future bike lane construction. Read more

Bike lanes are incredibly important for public health and safety - reducing danger to cyclists, increasing foot traffic and consumers to different commercial neighborhoods and are hugely important for a sustainable future.

As a concerned resident of Ontario, I'm deeply troubled by the proposed Bill 212, especially its implications for bike lanes in our cities. I've been cycling to work for years, and the recent improvements in bike infrastructure have made my commute safer and more enjoyable. Read more
