As a frequent visitor of Toronto, I strongly oppose Bill 212. I regularly utilize the bike share system to travel around the city and know many others who do as well.

The proposed framework under Bill 212, which prioritizes vehicular traffic by potentially removing bike lanes in dense urban environments, is fundamentally misguided. Read more

I genuinely can't express enough how much I value bike lanes in this city. Removal of bike lanes is a clear step in the wrong direction in the overall health of our city, communities, and planet beyond that. If you're going to take bike lanes out, please PLEASE make a few major streets bike-ONLY. Read more

Getting rid of bike lanes to add more lanes for cars will not reduce traffic. As an example, highway 401 is one of the largest highways in north america yet we have significant traffic. Traffic occurs when many cars are stopping and starting, it creates a chain effect every time someone breaks. Read more

It does not make sense financially or environmentally to rip out cycling infrastructure in Canada's largest city. Businesses desparately need as much drive by traffic as possible and bike lanes lend to our success. Read more

The answer to Toronto’s gridlock is not to add more capacity for vehicles, but rather to create the incentive for commuters to seek alternative modes of transportation and hence reduce the number of vehicles on the road. Read more

Bike lanes throughout Toronto have exponentially improved my life. When I first moved to the city in 2011, commuting to work by bike felt like I could die any day from a collision. Now I can easily and smoothly commute almost door to door by bike lane! Read more

(1) There is a fundamental lack of knowledge and education in this city regarding the laws (HTA) or best practices, common sense courtesies regardless if you are a cyclist, driver, commercial bike driver (uber eats) or pedestrian. Read more

This is a massive and politicized overreach on the part of the provincial government that does not reflect an accurate and data driven approach to reducing long term congestion and building a sustainable city. Read more
