As a long-term resident and now visitor to Toronto, I oppose the removal of bike lanes. These lanes allow people with different abilities and incomes to transit throughout the city effectively and safely.

I have been an avid cyclist in Toronto for over 30 years, commuting downtown by bike before the Bloor/Yonge/University bike lanes existed. Having been hit/nearly hit by cars multiple times, I can confidently say that bike lanes save lives.

Yet another waste of tax payers money by a Government that has made ill informed decisions. With no data to prove these bike lanes cause delays, this is an irresponsible decision. The removal of bike lanes at a cost of 48 million dollars will not improve the health and safety of city dwellers.

I have so much to say but I will keep it short. We are in a climate crisis and transportation i a huge contributor to Canada’s CO2 emissions. We need to get people out of cars and onto alternative forms of transport such as public transit and bikes and walking.

Bike lanes save lives and save the environment. They make reaching our 2030 Emissions Reduction Plan where Canada aims to reduce emissions by 40–45% below 2005 levels by 2030. This plan was created with input from provinces, territories, Indigenous Peoples, and the Net-Zero Advisory Body.

I am strongly against Bill 212, as I think multi-modal transportation will benefit more people, is sustainable in the longterm, and will be more affordable in the long run. This bill pushes for highway development, which will mean worse traffic, slower commutes, and more pollution.

Removing bicycle lanes does not improve traffic. If you want to decrease traffic, you need to give commuters options that aren't cars. Increase TTC efficiency, add more bicycle lanes. Get people out of cars and using other forms of transportation.

This is a very disturbing policy. How many people will die because cycling in the city becomes dramatically less safe? As a driver, I feel better knowing cyclists are at a safe distance from my car.

The removal of bike lanes in downtown Toronto is allowing the instant gratification of suburban wants to completely override the safety needs of thousands of cyclists that actually live in these downtown areas and use bikes to commute.

As a voter and tax payer who cares about safety, health, the environment, and easing congestion, I fully support and actively use bike lanes in Toronto.

Since the bike lanes were established on Bloor, I no longer take TTC to work downtown over by Spadina. This is a great savings of what I have to spend on getting to work, my physical fitness is better, and I am generally happier in my life!

I've lived in Toronto for 24 years, and use the bikes lanes daily to get to work. I remember what the city was like before the installation of the bike lanes on Bloor, and it was extremely dangerous.

Both my wife and I do not support Ford's Bill 212. We cycle year round in Toronto and use the bike lanes daily, when the weather permits. My wife rides to work along Bloor and down University. I am retired and ride daily for recreation and doing errands.

I do not believe in the Ontario government interfering in municipal affairs, I am against this bill. Municipalities need to be deeply involved as they know best what residents need for their area.
Good day.
I do not support any bill that would remove bike lanes from any city.
I am both a driver and a rider, commuting 11km to/from work each day in all weather. I appreciate the added protection of bike lanes when they are available.

I do not support the removal of any bike lanes.
I believe that there should be an increase in bike lanes and an increase in public transit availability as well as coverage of transit costs to make the ttc more affordable.

Hi there,
I'm writing to urge parliament to oppose Bill 212. I think it isn't evidence based, and is born out of spite, cruelty, or at least to garner some short-sighted political points while core services like transit, healthcare and education fester.
