It is important to preserve lanes for cyclists, increasingly accessibility and safety of transportation throughout the city. Cars cause the most congestion. Bicycles and cycling lanes keep people moving. Removing the lanes would increase death and injury to cyclists and even pedestrians. Read more

I feel devastated by these proposed changes. After a lifetime of braving Toronto streets we were finally getting the protection so desperately needed. By wasting our good money you are removing safety for both drivers and cyclists. Read more

Removing bike lanes is a waste of tax payer money. The lanes have proven to reduce gridlock and make my commute, as a driver and pedestrian, safer and more efficient. With the bike lanes in place, I know that cyclists and couriers are safe from dangerous drivers. Read more

This is against our goal to reduce emissions. There is not any real data on "bike lanes" being an issue to delivering internet to real areas, these claims are nonsense. People need safe spaces to travel in a non vehicle fashion. We need this for our planet to survive the next 1000 years.

I think this is a bad idea. Will increase traffic, cause people to be killed and contribute to global warming. Also it will isolate kids and people without access to cars or who choose not to drive. I am a driver but also like to take my bike whenever I can. I do not wish to be killed by motorists.

I am a cyclist, and a commuter, as are my wife and my kids. I am appalled at the province's new bill 212 proposal. I have rarely seen a less thoughtful, and poorly researched approach to dealing with gridlock. This is a purely reactive plan that will not accomplish it's key goal. Read more

Let me begin by expressing my utmost anger and disgust at the provincial government for patronising municipalities in general, and targeting the City of Toronto in particular, in a bid to appear as though it is addressing the ever-increasing population and traffic issues in our city. Read more

I'd love to ride my bike more. Unfortunately the lack of bike lanes deters me. It would be healthier for me to ride my bike. It would be less expensive for me and for the city. Bikes don't wear off pavements as much as cars do. Bikes don't cause the pollution cars cause. Read more

“You’re nervous when there’s no bike lanes. At least I was. We have to do everything we can to make sure there’s never a death in the city. One death is way too many when it comes to bicycle riders.” - Doug Ford (2017)

Instead of removing bike lanes, why not actually have a transit service that works efficiently so commuters don’t have to deal with nonsense. From a blue collar worker we need our tools, white collar workers can take alternative routes as they don’t have something to deliver.

Based on everything we know, bike lanes are highly beneficial. They improve road safety, promote healthier lifestyles, reduce traffic congestion, lower greenhouse gas emissions, and support local businesses by creating more livable communities. Read more

Why on earth would you remove bike lines? They keep both our cyclists and drivers safe from one another. This is a colossal waste of taxpayer dollars and will only cause MORE congestion in the near future. Let alone, the environmental benefits of encouraging cycling. Read more

Bill 212 is not rooted in the facts about transportation and planning. For a lifetime conservative voter like me, it is important the government stands on the side of reason, not emotion, and take a look at information for what it is. Read more

This proposal is ludicrous. This is a waste of money, an overreach of the provincial government in municipal affairs, and it will not reduce gridlock. This will not save time. This will not support small businesses. This will also cost many more people their lives. Read more
