Leave our bike lanes alone. Just take a look at other cities around the world where cycling infrastructure is working. The reason why we have so many problems here is because our infrastructure is being implemented in bits and pieces. If it’s going to be successful, it has to be done all at once.
Please don't do this.
Did you know…
-Mayor Chow and Toronto City Council formally expressed their opposition to Bill 212, and asked the province to withdraw the proposed amendments and work collaboratively with cities to address congestion and road safety?

I own a car and I own a bike. 90% of my travel is by bicycle. In the city it’s usually faster, less polluting and efficient. I don’t take up parking or impede traffic. I am a property owner and pay taxes to Toronto and the province.

I wish to express my appreciation to this Government for soliciting my view as a Toronto resident, homeowner and bicycle commuter, on the sudden and unexpected intervention into the affairs of the City of Toronto by this same Government of the province, to slow and congest Toronto traffic yet furthe

Please do not rip up these very important bike lanes. I was hit by a truck on a road where the bike lane was not installed at the time and I can't tell you how often I am worried for my safety with trucks and large vehicles either behind me or near me as I try to navigate the roads.

This is an absurd proposal. The safety of people should be considered AND the environmental impacts of using cars above the time it takes someone to drive their car. It is so dangerous for cyclists in the city on roads without bike lanes.

Where can we find the framework for the decision making on removing the existing bike lanes and the supporting information so we know that the provincial layer of our government is not overstepping on locally elected representatives and overwriting the will of the people for bad reasons?

I live in downtown Toronto and I use my bicycle for commuting to various activities in central Toronto. I periodically use the bike lanes on Bloor Street between the Don Valley and Bathurst St., as well as on University Ave. and Yonge Street between Davisville and Davenport.

Horribly regressive and ill informed. The law of induced demand that has been proven not only here in Ontario, but in countless other places around the world, states more lanes do not reduce traffic congestion in the long run. Putting more cars on the road WILL NOT REDUCE TRAFFIC CONGESTION.

Please keep the bike lanes! Cycling in Toronto is already dangerous enough - removal of lanes on such major streets would be greatly detrimental to cyclist safety, and only marginally improve gridlock in an already car-centric city.
Bike lanes are essential for many commuters and must stay in place. The only acceptable changes are the development or improvement of MORE bike lanes and not less. It’s essential to the last mile solution, micro mobility, and reducing car traffic
Living just off Bloor Street on Brunswick Avenue and aware of all the time, effort and expense that went in to have proper bike lanes put in I find it totally unconscionable that there is a proposal to remove them.

I vehemently oppose Bill 212.
Bike lanes do not cause congestion. Plain and simple. This is a conservative ploy designed to distract from their failed policies and has nothing to do with bike lanes.

This bill appears to conflate highways with city streets and avenues, including residential streets. We're not building condo complexes along Ontario's major highways, but people really do live on Bloor/Yonge/University.

Please do not take away bike lanes in Toronto. It is the number one way I get around the city since transit and driving are slow. Please consider this since it will make the city a difficult place to be in.
Hello! Please keep the bike lanes - they are essential to those who bike every day to/from work. The city has done such a great job making the city friendly for bikes and would be detrimental to many people if they were removed.
Building bike lanes is incredibly important for safe and effective transit systems. It would be a huge disservice to our communities to prevent new bike lanes from being built in cities that are already lacking safe options for people.

I am extremely concerned about the implications of this bill and am strongly opposed to its passing. As a student who doesn't own a car, bike lanes are hugely important to enabling me to get around and crucially, giving me options to get around.
