I am 89 years old and live on Christie and Dupont. I cycle practically every day.
Without bicycle lanes on Bloor I will have to stop shopping there as it will be too dangerous.
Our bike lanes are so incredibly important for reducing congestion and making this city safer for all. By creating more bike lanes (and NOT less) you encourage more people to ride a bike rather than drive because bike lanes make our streets so much safer.

This is a terrible bill that is not in the best interest of Ontarians. It takes away land rights for property owners that deserve fair compensation when their land is expropriated.

This bill 212 is terrible and does the opposite of what it proposes.
BIKE LANES ARE GOOD!
- Bike lanes REDUCE traffic and every study ever conducted on them proves this.

Dear sir or madam. I am a civil engineer. As a professional working in transportation, I strongly disagree with this governments approach to transportation infrastructure. There are several reasons why the approach is flawed.

It is appalling to me that the Premiers plan to remove all bike lanes is even being considered. There is zero evidence that supports this will reduce traffic, or help in any way.

Why would Ontario want to follow the lead of other world class cities like Copenhagen, Amsterdam and Montreal where bike lanes coexist with cars and pedestrians?
Bikes don’t cause congestion, cars do! The more lanes that you make available to cars the more they will fill up with cars.

Nearly five years ago, someone I knew was killed biking down a street in Toronto. Two years ago, a professor at my university was killed while they were biking. Before that, a teacher at a school in my neighbourhood was killed while cycling in the West End.

Wasteful, factless, totalitarian, distracting from real issues (smokescreen?), bill. Cities deserve the right to manage this themselves. Butt out and get to work on the real issues.
I strongly oppose the measures removing and preventing the addition of cycling infrastructure. There’s been no sign of any plan to make a non arterial cycling network that connects up, and I have had a lot of experience with trying to make that work, and I’ve done my homework.

As someone who lives in Toronto, and walks, bikes and drives weekly I understand that there will always be competing demands for limited space when it comes to transportation.

The city of Toronto needs more bike lanes, not fewer. I resent the involvement of the provincial government in decisions that should be made at the municipal level.

I grew up riding a bicycle to school and work. When I moved to Toronto over twenty years ago, I was stunned by how few people rode their bikes to work; downtown Toronto is made for a fast commute on a bicycle. When I asked people why they were not riding their bikes, a frequent answer was safety.

I'm opposed to removing bike lanes in Toronto and elsewhere. If fact, I'd like there to be more bike lanes if alternative routes aren't possible.

Please don’t remove bike lanes. Bike lanes give opportunity for many people who either don’t own a vehicle, cannot drive, or they are in close proximity to their destination. Removing bike lanes will not stop cyclists from biking.

I object to this bill on 3 counts: it is not based on facts, it will make our streets more dangerous, and it is a bully tactic to try to garner support from car commuters rather than the residents of Toronto.

Once again the government of Ontario refuses to embrace the solutions that would alleviate carbon emissions, contribute to a greener economy and to a safer and friendlier mode of transportation. I am ashamed to live in a province which is so blatantly negationist and unimaginative.
