So sad and devastating that you’re willing to risk public safety and remove bike lanes. How did this decision come to be without any consultation? Why are you wasting money attacking Toronto when we’re living in an affordability crisis? Focus on the important issues and this isn’t one of them.

I strongly oppose Bill 212 and the proposed framework to dismantle existing bike lanes and restrict the creation of new ones without provincial approval. This bill undermines municipal autonomy, directly threatens cyclist safety, and prioritizes car traffic over sustainable transportation options. Read more

I'm both a driver and a cyclist in Ottawa, and I can definitely say that I disagree with the premise of this bill. Yes, traffic congestion is awful, but removing bike lanes will not fix traffic congestion. Read more

I am writing to express my strong support for expanding safe cycling infrastructure across Ontario, as well as my concerns about the additional red tape and bureaucracy that may delay these essential projects. Read more

Bike lanes on city streets are something that cities should be responsible to look after and should not be controlled or restricted at a higher levels of government. Read more

Please leave the bike lanes alone in The City of Toronto. This is a municipal matter that has been studied and voted on for the good of the residents of the city, not just a few business owners. Read more

Nothing about this proposal actually indicates that removing bike lanes will improve traffic. I absolutely disapprove of this proposal and the Ontario government should be ashamed of wasting government and public energy, time, and resources on this idea. Read more

The bike lane component of this legislation is provincial overreach which ignores mountains of evidence in pursuit of ignorant hunches. It feels like a distraction from green belt, 413, Ontario Place and Centre. Read more

Bike lanes are destroing the economic and social balance of the city of Toronto. Exemples are abundant, University Av., Downtown Toronto and Bloor Street west are some of the most absolutely insane exemples. Read more

Removing these bike lanes will prevent me from getting around the city safely for work and other day to day activities. Cities should be designed for all road users, not just cars.

Bike lanes save lives. Motor vehicles should not be prioritized over the lives of bikers in the downtown core. We should be incentivizing modes of green transportation, not making it more dangerous to do so.

Just when cycling got safer in Toronto, the province jumped out of their lane to send us back to more cycling accidents and deaths. We waited years for a bike lane on Bloor. It took so long to build it and now you want to take it away? I use it every day. I am 65 years old. Read more

There is no world in which we can build enough lanes on our streets and highways to keep pace. Increasing lanes does not increase throughput, due to the limiting factor currently being intersections, not the number of lanes. Read more

Bike lanes are a vital way people transit around the city in a safe way. From families to seniors. Protect the lives of Torontonians and continue to enable a safe way for them to travel.

This is ridiculous. Do not remove bike lanes that took so many years to implemenet and are now actually being used. It will only create more traffic if we remove them at this point. They keep bikers who are going to be on these busy streets regardless, safe. Read more
