a) Bike lanes provide cyclists with safety; in 2023 there were 5 cyclist deaths in Toronto; so far in 2024, there have been 6 cyclist deaths in Toronto; removing bike lanes will reduce safety and increase the risk of cyclist deaths.

Bike lanes aren’t causing gridlock— it’s the lack of funding for public transit, especially for the TTC and GO busses/trains, causing more vehicles to be on the road. Bike lanes ensure the safety of commuters and cyclists that rely on them.

I think that it is ridiculous what the province is doing. Bike lanes save lives. Bike lanes help to ease congestion. Bike lanes move more people per hour then car lanes. Bike lanes have in no way increased traffic times. This is ridiculous. The province has no business removing bike lanes.

Plenty of Ontario residents and organizations have already made the case for why Bill 212 does not represent good governance. It would not reduce congestion, but it would reduce road safety.

Bike lanes on roads do not cause traffic congestion.
Intersections cause traffic congestion.
Simple example. Imagine a single lane road, going east to west, with everybody driving following the MTO's "2 second rule". About 1500 cars, maybe 1600 bikes can be travelling along per hour.

I believe that this proposal is harmful and will not accomplish what it intends to do - which is to reduce traffic by removing heavily used bike lanes and returning them to motor vehicle use.

It is absolutely ridiculous to spend a ton of money to remove bike lanes that are already in existence.
Our priority should be on promoting public transit and bikes to eliminate the congestion of one driver cars in the city.
It is a win win- eliminate congestion and cleaner air.
I ride my bike to work every single day. I rode my bike through the first 15 years I lived in Toronto, but stopped after being doored 2x early in my 30s.

We are in a climate EMERGENCY. Why in the world would you think taking cycling infrastructure away is a GOOD IDEA? We should be adding more safe infrastructure for sustainable transportation to reduce GHG emissions. Our future is dependent on big actions that favour the planet and this is not it.

I live in Toronto Ward 15 and bike 12km to and 12km from work everyday, for about ten months out of the year. A large portion of my route is on Bloor, from Sherbourne to Ossington.

I was planning to support the PC's in the next election.
But this significant over reach has eliminated any chance of that. I voted for my municipal leaders to make these decisions, not the province.

Bikes lanes keep me and my children sage when we go to work and school. This is far more important than speeding up traffic (which I'm doubtful removing lanes would even do.
I am not a cyclist.
I don't cycle to work, nor do I wear Lycra and engage in high-speed sports on an expensive bike. I don't fit the general perception of who cyclists are – oft-cited data (including from this government) ignore people like me.
