I use the Toronto bike lanes almost every single day. I put my trust in them to keep me safe on the road. I use them to get to work, doctors appointments, groceries, meet my friends, and enjoy everything the province and city has to offer. Read more

I am opposed to the removal of removal of bike lanes in Toronto and the construction of Highway 413. The provincial government should consult with people about the issue of the removal of bike lanes in Toronto and the construction of Highway 413. Read more

What an absolute waste of money and time and resources. Bike lanes aren't the problem. I own a vehicle that is registered in Toronto and I drive in Toronto. Bike lanes are an important tool to keep cyclists safe, reduce GHG emissions, and make Toronto a livable city. Read more

This legislation is biased and one-sided penalizing residents and the cyclists living and working in Toronto. Cycling reduces GHG and gridlock. The legislation is poorly written and has not been fully planned. Read more

Please keep the bike lanes on University, Bloor and Yonge. I use them every day. Drivers like them as they help keep things safe for both drivers and cyclists. We need to encourage more people to walk, cycle and take transit to reduce congestion. Taking away bike lanes will not help. Thank you.

Bike lanes save lives, environmental assessments protect important and critical ecosystems and expropriation of land is corrupt and unethical. This bill poses a huge to threat to people’s lives, the environment, farmland and Ontario rural and urban areas alike. It needs to be stopped! Read more

It's so strange that you would call a bill such a silly name when it clearly has no impact on gridlock. Do you think people will ignore facts and just believe a catchy title? is that why you spend so much tax payers money on marketing? Read more

I started riding regularly during the pandemic because of the introduction of bike lanes. Every route I take is based on bike lanes and side streets so that I can bike in relative safety. Read more

This is not the province's jurisdiction. The city of Toronto has a council that was elected to look specifically at the city's needs. Leave the bike lanes alone. Read more

Bill 212 is based on ideas which are not scientifically valid. Bike lanes reduce gridlock. They protect riders. They decrease medical costs by improving the fitness of riders. As well, they reduce car exhaust pollution which causes respiratory issues. Read more

Bike lanes keep Ontarians safe on the road, lead to less congestion and increased opportunity for a healthy lifestyle. Taking away bike lanes would waste money and put people’s lives in danger.

I am 68 years old and live in west downtown Toronto. I do not own a car and have a very modest pension. I use my bike most of the year to get around, save money, get exercise, and reduce my carbon footprint. Read more

suppression of existing bike lanes will result in : - hazardous bike riding conditions with accidents and deaths - potential accidents and deaths of pedestrians as some cyclists will ride on side walks - heavier traffic as some cyclists will turn to driving cars Read more

Removing bike lanes does not reduce congestion. Removing bike lanes puts cyclists in dangerous situations or it puts cyclists in cars and increases congestion. It is time to appreciate and celebrate cyclists. Cyclists are helping our fight against climate change.
