I am a driver, but also a cyclist. I know how much safer cyclists are when separated from cars. I also know that the congestion in downtown Toronto is bad, not because of bike lanes, but because of construction and too many cars.

I both drive and occasionally bike in the summer, but I am VERY pro-bike lanes. I do NOT want to have to drive 10km/h behind a bike on any of our single lane streets; especially Bloor st E, between the Danforth bridge and Sherbourne. The best cyclist is out of the way, IN A BIKE LANE!
Why does the Premier keep making such bad decisions? Not to mention outside his purview of control. As both a driver and a cyclist in Toronto, I strongly support these bike lanes. Their removal would be a huge waste of resources.

My wife and are both over 70 years old. We try to keep active year round and ride our bikes almost year round. Thanks for dedicated bike paths, we can get to our destinations on safe bike paths 90% of the time.
Here are some examples of our weekly trip:

This swivel reversal of previous commitments represents the short term thinking of a politician who is only focused on being re-elected at any cost to the citizens of Toronto and Ontario.

Bill 212 will not help ease traffic congestion. As a daily transit user, I have been able to see that the primary reason that excessive motor traffic happens is not because of there not being enough space on the road, but because there is too many cars.

This letter is to express my stern opposition to Bill 212 - Reducing Gridlock, Saving You Time Act 2024.
By my understanding, the Province has much larger things that need their attention like Health Care and Education!

I am a sixty-two year old female who cycles 8 months of the year for my adult teaching work, shopping, and running errands. I live off Bloor Street West and I use the cycling lane almost daily. I use cycling not only to help decrease pollution, but also to alleviate traffic and to support my heath.

This Bill strikes me as an over-reach by the Province into matters that are more within the jurisdiction of municipalities. Municipalities hire experts to study local traffic needs and conditions. Municipalities should be free to make decisions based on this data, not on political interference.

I am writing on behalf of Pollination Guelph to express our opposition to the proposed addendum to the framework requiring the removal of sections of bike lanes in Toronto and the institution of a review process for existing bike lanes.

This government has prevented the recommended modifications to the OMB, essentially removing any reasonable chance for the city to control developers and leaving them to do what they want.

In rapidly growing urban centers like Toronto, bike lanes are not merely a convenience but an essential component of sustainable city infrastructure, much like sidewalks.

The removal of bike lanes to decrease traffic is misguided and against all current evidence. Removing the bike lanes does not make you are removing cyclist traffic, but instead cauTsing more traffic when these cyclists take the entire lane.

Stop the assault on cyclists. You are only making it more dangerous to bike on the roads. You make it illegal to bike on the sidewalk, but I have to risk my life to bike on the road if you remove bike lanes. Pedestrian collisions not slowing down any time soon.

Reducing bike lanes will cost the tax payers millions of dollars, it will increase cars on the road, as I for one will have to switch back to using my car…increasing congestion. Bike lanes are not the cause of congestion, lack of access to public transit is.

Please keep the bike lanes, bike lanes is very useful for people, and increasing bike lanes will not cause traffic, we should educate people to bike more or use public transport than driving a car. Everyone wanna drive their own car is the reason why cause traffic.
Bikes are the future. They are cheaper to own and maintain, healthier for the environment and for people, and increasing the infrastructure for cycling will take more single-passenger vehicles off the road. I would love to see some form of safer bike storage become mainstream.
