do not put more lives at risk by removing and preventing installation of new bike lanes.
We have too many cars and that is why we have congestion. Bikes reduce congestion by encouraging people to bike in the protected and safer lanes.

Baseline, this just doesn’t make sense, the bike lanes already exist and cost just as much to install as it will to remove, this is not a sensible use of tax dollars.

I am an avid cyclist as well as a pedestrian and a driver. This city’s bike lanes have made my life so much easier since many trips are too far to walk but not worth finding parking. Biking has made me healthier, more active in the shops and the thing the city has to offer.

Shifting bike lanes to side streets isn’t a practical solution. Side streets are often narrower and busier, making them less safe for cyclists. They also have more intersections and less connectivity, which increases the risk of accidents and makes biking less convenient.

This bill is an absolute travesty, and if passed, will endanger thousands of daily cyclists who opt to move across the city in a healthy, green manner.

I strongly oppose Bill 212. I ride my bike every single day and use it as my primary mode of transportation. I don't own a car, nor do I ever take taxis or ubers.

As a low income graduate student, I feel like I may never own a car, so this only further cements the fact that the city disregards its lower earning populations and only cares for those who can afford to take up the whole street.

The proposed legislation and removal of bike lanes is proven to worsen gridlock, negatively impact economic activity, increase risk of injury and death, create more conflict with cars, amd allow more pollutants into our communities.

Reducing bike lanes is ableist. Driving is only open to those 16 and above to those with sufficient sight, mobility, and cognitive skills to operate high horsepower motorized vehicles.

I can’t believe the government is going to claw back these hard-won and much-needed improvements and take away bike lanes. It’s time to face the fact that we’re a major city. No one drives downtown in major cities, and no major city is making efforts to make it easier for drivers.

The province shouldn't have any say over what municipalities are doing with the bike lanes. They know best. Please leave the built bike lanes alone, and add more! We should make public infrastructure more accessible to bikes and pedestrians, thus reducing car traffic.

Because of the bloor bike lanes, I have started commuting to work from Bloor West Village to the Downtown Core all year round including winter. It’s cut 10min off my time compared to my pre-bike lane route. My kids now go to after school activities safely on the bikes along the blood bike lane.

All this will do is make biking in the city more dangerous and won’t solve the congestion problem. This is not what the citizens of Toronto want! Leave our bike lanes alone!
Thy have no care for safety or thy wouden wipe the bike lands
you no people in the Government to day act like Children.
When they do,t get what they want they throw a temper tantrum.
I,v been biking for 55 long years all most every day helling a trailer

We need bike lanes in Toronto! I take the Bloor bike lane to and from work and it keeps me safe on hills and in inclement weather. There's no east-west direct alternate. We drive on the same route often and we appreciate the barrier to keep cyclists safe.

A long time ago when I was the mother of a young child, we tried to cycle to Young People's Theatre on Front Street from the waterfront. There were no bike paths and we were biking on the road, my daughter ahead of me and me behind to make sure I could see anything that might look like a danger.
