I am a regular bike commuter, it is my main source of transportation in Toronto. I have been actively riding for over 30 years. I remember the old days riding on Bloor without bike lanes. It is so much safer with bike lanes.Everyone has a place on the street. Read more

There has been a 50% increase in traffic since 2004. That is the cause of congestion, not bike lanes. How else do you explain increased congestion in areas where there are no bike lanes? Stop this ignorant and dangerous and expensive political stunt.

I don't support this Bill 212. I believe most, if not all, of the Province's points of view are flawed and biased, and they follow either statistics and/or data that are skewed or merely anecdotal. Read more

I think that pulling out bike lanes on Bloor Street is a ridiculous and expensive undertaking. The bike lanes are used consistently and as a resident of the area and frequent driver, biker, walker on Bloor street the traffic situation is unchanged from before there were bike lanes. Read more

As a motorist (not a cyclist), I believe bike lanes are safer for everyone. I feel very nervous when a cyclist is riding alongside me, while I am driving, and even more so when a cyclist is wobbling in front of me while riding uphill. Read more

This bill is ridiculous and removing the bike lines WILL NOT BENEFIT THE PROVINCE. This is just a waste of the government's resources while other infrastructure - like healthcare, crumbles.

I commute to Toronto’s ‘Hospital Row’ for work, and >90% of my trips are by bike. The bike lanes are well used and the bike lock-up facilities at the hospitals are regularly filled to capacity, even now in mid-November. Read more

Research has shown that it's only going to increase congestion as cyclists will begin taking up more space on the streets, far from the right side to avoid door openings. Read more

Waste of money. Studies show the best way to reduce congestion and traffic jams is to get more people to use alternatives to private vehicles. Removing the bike lane will result in more people using cars to commute down these streets and will not improve congestion.

Please stop removing bike lanes. The city is polluted, dirty and dangerous with more cars. Use this money to work on public transit, like in Europe and Amsterdam. Read more

These bike lanes have improved the safety of our roads for thousands of bikers. If we cannot all agree that the lives saved are worth the few minutes of time potentially added to a drivers commute then there may be no agreement reached. Safety is paramount here. Read more

Everything about this proposal is disgusting. As a Toronto resident that lives off Bloor and works on university Avenue at one of the hospitals I can't believe removing these lanes would even be considered. Read more

I have been riding my bike to work now that there are safe bike lanes on university Avenue and some east/west corridors downtown. When I ride in rush hour traffic the bike lanes are full and vehicular traffic is flowing perfectly. There is no need to remove lanes.
