Removing bike lanes will only increase fatalities amongst cyclists, the bikes are here to stay. Stop playing with people's lives and look at statistics and data.
Only 1.2% commute by bicycle?! After hearing this statistic, I must say that it's disappointing to have these bike lanes in the streets and have only 1.2% of people commuting by bicycle. Exactly to the point, we're not doing enough!

Removing any bike lanes is a huge safety risk and would motivate me to move out of the city. As a physician, promoting driving in such a congested city is shortsighted. you need creative solutions to make public transport better and more attractive! Look at Portland!
We are devastated by Ford's move; it makes no sense to drivers, bike riders or taxpayers.
Our children depend for safety on the bike lanes and use them to get to work, to take their children (1 and 3) to school/day care, and even to hospital emergency rooms.

The Province's decision to remove bike lanes in Toronto (and to give itself that power) is a total disregard for the municipal governance and planning process. To be a first class city, we need to invest in safe bicycle intrastructure. People are DYING from unsafe biking.

Bike lanes and/or cycling infrastructure are present on only 4% of Toronto’s estimated 5,600 km of roads – it’s absurd to suggest they are causing congestion in the City of Toronto.

Bike lanes are mandatory infrastructure for cities. The safety of civilians who aim to commute via bike for various reasons (sustainability, morality, etc.) should not be put at risk by the removal of bike lanes in the downtown core.

I completely oppose the measures in this act:
1. Decisions on bike lanes should remain at the municipal level. Municipalities know best when and where to make changes to roadways.

Please keep bike lanes. Bikes DO NOT create traffic, cars do. Invest in bike lines and public transportation. This change is short sighted and will mean more cyclists injuries and deaths.
Bike lanes save lives and reduce congestion. Having grown up in Bloor West Village, the extension of the Bloor bike lane is the single piece of most valuable infrastructure the city has done for my life.

I am very frustrated and upset with the proposed bill 212. In what world are we meant to enjoy life in a sustainable way while staying healthy if not to bike safely around?

It is shocking that there is a suggestion to remove the bike lanes that used a lot of materials and energy to build so soon after their construction.

Bill 212 would result in extremely regressive results for the climate by increasing the number of vehicles on the roads in the cities. Commuters which use bikes to get to and from work in the city centre would most likely revert to driving cars to work.

The bike lanes are absolutely necessary to the city of Toronto. Arguably, they avoid gridlock cause more people can opt to bike instead of using cars. Plus it’s better for the environment. Toronto is a city full of people who can’t drive.
