I use the bike lanes in Toronto every day. I remember cycling the same routes before bike lanes were added, and I feel much safer in a separated bike lane than I do taking the lane.

The bike lanes have made it a safe way for me to travel to work from the west end (near High Park) to Toronto General Hospital downtown via Bloor and then University avenue. The bike lanes along those routes have made a world of difference in how safe I feel and I am so appreciative of them.

Give people incentive to get out of their cars. Leave the bike lanes. Getting to work, school etc the most directly is not just for car drivers.

I used to think that biking in Toronto was too dangerous because for many years after I moved here from another province, there wasn't any good biking infrastructure.

Municipalities are best equipped to make local transportation decisions, especially when it comes to cycling infrastructure. Change takes time, and while there are sometimes challenging impacts immediately following bike lane implementation, the long term gains are worth some short term pains.

This is absolutely ridiculous, WHY would you propose such an absurd policy that will actually end up increasing gridlock by prohibiting an alternative form of transportation!?

I am writing to express my opposition to proposed legislation (Bill 212) to restrict the installation of bicycle lanes where motor vehicle lanes would be removed, as well as the removal of several protected bicycle lanes in Toronto.

Every time I pass a white memorial bicycle, I heartbroken by the loss of life. Drivers don't see bikes unless they are allocated safe passage by infrastructure. Premier Ford, bikes don't hold up traffic, the city just can't accommodate all these cars.

Me and my children use bicycle lanes where they are available as they are significantly safer as well as more comfortable to use and more pleasant than riding in mixed traffic.

I am vehemently opposed to Bill 212. As a young professional and primary resident of the downtown core who does not own a car, bike lanes are the only alternative I have to walking that provide a safe means of transit around the city.

I am a physician and am writing to add my voice to those who are opposed to removing bike lanes in Toronto. They promote health, reduce pollution, reduce accidents, and enable faster commutes.

Bill 212 would cause more harm than benefit, and set back Toronto's goal of having an actual network of bike lanes that people can use for leisure or commuting.

This Provincial government promotes data-driven decision-making and cutting red tape, yet does precisely the opposite with its proposed Bike Lane Framework, which finds its justification in the personal anecdotes of the Minister of Transportation and a minority of loud, organized drivers, and repres

10 years ago I was in a serious bike accident on Queen street, where my bike tire became caught in a streetcar track. Luckily I was not hit by a car and killed, but I sustained serious injuries, some of which impact me to this day. My accident would have been prevented had there been a bike lane.

It is ludicrous to think about removing the bike lanes that are already in place. They save lives every day. My family and I are using the bike lanes especially the ones that are separated from the road. They make us feel safer going around the city.

We need the bike lanes on Bloor and University. We just built them so typing then it would be an irresponsible spend of taxpayer money. Further the province is overstepping it's jurisdiction by mandating this matter that should be best left to local governments.

This bill will endanger my life as a regular cyclist and pedestrian in Toronto. I am already almost struck by cars at least once per day and without the safe infrastructure of bike lanes, this will get much worse.

Please do not remove the Bloor Danforth bike lanes. They are the only way to get across the city efficiently from High Park to Victoria Park. If you remove, replace!
Please add a North/South bike route from Danforth to Huntingwood somewhere, anywhere. There are currently none.
