Please keep the bike lanes. I live in the east end (Vic Park and Danforth) and commute daily to work in the core. I commute all year by bike, until there's heavy snow or ice and as soon as it's just above zero, I'm back out there.

Cycling is an essential part of living in a large city. It is one of the lowest cost forms of transportation. I ride in the city, and along the routes in question multiple times per week and I also did so before the lanes were installed on university and bloor.

The removal of bike lanes in Toronto is a terrible idea. I am not a biker. No one in my family bikes. However, i know that bike lanes are so valuable to the community and save lives.

Appalling. A complete disregard for the the city and its residents.
It took decades of work to have bike lanes put in on Bloor, and now there is a legal proposal to have them removed.

This is an awful Bill. I do not support Bill 212. We are in need of greater transit infrastructure; better bike lanes, better train systems. The future of transportation in Ontario, should not be highways, nor car-centric.

This is a poorly planned move. There should be concrete plans for all road users, not just a plan for cars and a promise the rest will come later. About 10% of trips ending downtown are by bike. Driving is not a majority form of transportation, it is surpassed by active and public transit combined.

Decisions on bike lanes are city jurisdiction not the Province. If the people of toronto didn't want bike lanes then we would elect a city that wouldn't implement them. Bike lanes reduce traffic, reduce emissions and a part of a healthy city.

Removing existing bike lanes is a terrible and wasteful plan! Toronto has made real gains by building bike lines and planning for a sustainable and civic minded future. Please do not remove the bike lanes!!!
Bill 212 would kill hundreds of bicycle-friendly small businesses who have builot up clienteles who now depend on customer bases who do NOT need parking space to stop in on their way to home or work.

So many people throughout the city rely on bike lanes to be able to commute safely. Removing the bike lanes will only add to the amount of cyclists that will be on roadways - putting them at more risk.

I oppose the proposal for Bill 212, and I say this as someone who drives for 90 minutes every weekday. The worst of the gridlock I experience is on 400 series highways. None of these highways have bike lanes, but almost all of them have half a dozen express and collector lanes in each direction.

As a citizen, voter and taxpayer I write to express my concern for “Bill 212 - Reducing Gridlock, Saving You Time Act, 2024 - Framework for bike lanes that require removal of a traffic lane”.

While I own a car, I am also a frequent bicycle rider. I use bike lanes several times a week for all kinds of reasons so much so I rarely drive the car for short distances. The dedicated bike lanes make this possible by making me feel safe to ride.

Aside from this being a smokescreen for other broader proposals in this Bill, I will restrict my comments to the Issue of Toronto Bike Lanes.
This is a matter of equity, safety, environment and economics.

I help reduce gridlock by trying to drive a car only when needed and instead riding a bike when possible or taking public transit. Bike lanes help me to feel safe doing this. It is such a giant step backwards on dealing with the climate crisis to actually remove bike lanes to make driving easier.

Please do not remove the bike lanes on these major arteries. Biking is one of the only affordable and reliable ways for me to get around the city. I cannot afford a car.
Bill 212 is an overreach into business that should be the prevue of Municipal government. This bill creates an unacceptable level of Red Tape. Alternative transportation modes including cycling infrastructure are a viable way to reduce traffic congestion and improve local small businesses.

I have lived in Toronto for over 50 years. I don’t own a car and get around on foot, by TTC and on my bike. Bike lanes are essential to keep us safe when we are biking on the roads. I’m against ripping up existing bike lanes.
