Please do not get rid of our bike lanes. Why must it always be about the car. Bill 212 is going to create gridlock. What a wasteful way to spend taxpayer's money. It is evident that Doug Ford wants to destroy our city.
As multiple studies made in cities around the world have conclusively demonstrated, the way to relieve traffic congestion is to increase the number of bike lanes, not to eliminate them. The statistics have been compiled, the scientists are in consensus.

Municipalities should have the decision power to determine locations of bike lanes. Cycling infrastructure is not under provincial jurisdiction and should never be. The Province should focus on their efforts in improving transit pushing for less reliance on cars.

Please keep the bike lanes. They are crucial for safety for all Torontonians. I use the bloor bike lanes every single day rain or shine as a means of transportation to my job as a teacher. I worry that without them I will be hurt.

The Bloor Street bike lane is an extremely important East-West travel corridor for cyclists. This corridor is used by hundreds if not thousands of cyclists every day regardless of the time of year.

The bike lanes are not at all the problem. If anything, we should be encouraging more active transportation. By removing the bike lanes, you'll only be creating more gridlock by forcing people to use motorized vehicles.
I want to express my strong opposition to Bill 212 and to urge the Ontario government to reconsider and withdraw this proposal. Decisions impacting our communities must be guided by science, evidence, and logic—not by ideology or divisive rhetoric.

It is unconscionable to remove bike lanes that already exist and to prevent the construction of planned bike lanes. These provide safe ways for people to commute and travel around the city, and have proven benefits to the economy, the environment, and the physical well-being of Ontarians.

I used to use Toronto's bike lanes extensively as a cyclist, until knee problems curtailed my cycling. Even though I now get around by public transit, I strongly support our existing bike lanes, and the expansion of bike lanes.

Bike lanes are so important to this city! It encourages more foot traffic and stimulates small businesses! The bike lanes are barely 5 years old, I remember them being finished on bloor during the lockdown! Why would we get rid of something our city has been working on for years???

It’s ridiculous that the provincial government is wasting time and taxpayer’s money on things that are best handled by the city. What a colossal waste.
Tearing out bike lanes puts lives at risk by making streets more dangerous for cyclists and pedestrians. These lanes are essential for safer transportation and a greener, healthier future. Let's protect people, not just prioritize cars.
I have concerns that this proposed legislation is targeting an already ignored mode of transportation, and threatens to make bicycle travel less safe, and less accessible.

I believe that bicycle lanes are important and necessary for the City of Toronto. I use the bicycle lanes on Bloor Street from High Park to the Danforth. Harbord street to get to work and other bike lanes for shopping and leisure.

This proposal would be disastrous for Toronto's unique neighborhood main street culture, business and tourism. It is also a regressive step in terms of enabling local communities safe and active travel.

We need bike lanes to reduce traffic, more transit use. For cost of reducing bike lane subsidize transit . More people would use it. Traffic would fgo down

I object to the Ontario government proposal to be the ones to make decisions about bike lanes instead of municipalities who make decisions based on local research, consultations with their citizens and urban planners.
