Eliminating and reducing bike lanes will not reduce gridlock. Increasing bike lanes allows for an alternative mode of transport that may reduce gridlock, by giving travellers a way to safely bike around the city. Read more

Hello, do not make it harder for cyclists to navigate in the city. This new legislation will result in more dangerous commutes for myself and my social circles. I also believe that enabling bike lanes will lead to a greener city and planet, and I don’t support any bill that hinders that process. Read more

The province should not be policing what and how cities and municipalities allocate bike lanes and transit - more red tape, more money spent when not needed, and the provincial government does not know the nuances of each community and what is needed or would benefit each one. Read more

It's time the provincial government stops messing with Toronto's affairs - the bike lanes are there and paid for and used and to now undo them costs money that is better used for our schools, our healthcare system, shelter for people instead of the whim of Mr. Read more

This bill is a disservice to and an attack on the people of Ontario. Bike lanes are a municipal issue, and they are built after extensive consultation and study. Read more

In study after study it's been demonstrated that building more roads doesn't ease traffic congestion – rather, it leads to more traffic. I own a car, but only use it to go out of town. Otherwise I bike. Read more

If the Bloor bike lanes are taken out, I'm going to have to take a while lane as a cyclist. I do not feel safe sharing a lane with cars, and I have the legal right to take the lane, so I will. I will also encourage all cyclists to do the same.

I am writing to voice my strong opposition to Bill 212, Reducing Gridlock, Saving You Time Act, 2024. As a frequent cyclist commuter in the city of Toronto, I have experienced firsthand, how much safer the roads of Bloor St. and University Ave. are with the installation of bike lanes. Read more

I’m currently proud to live in a province that has built bike lanes over the past few years. The evidence is clear - bike lanes help congestion, encourage active living and add so much value to communities. I strongly disagree with Bill 212.

No on 212. Stop wasting my money! Millions and millions of taxpayer money were spent to put the lanes in. Five minutes later, you want to spend $48,000,000 to take them out again. Put that money towards actually reducing gridlock by getting the Eglinton LRT working.

As one of many commuters in Toronto that travels by bike, this proposal is extremely concerning to me. The City of Toronto staff have worked tirelessly to develop protected bike lanes and expand the Cycling Network. Read more

Bike lanes save lives. I’ve been hit by cars and pedestrians not paying attention. Bike lanes create a barrier and attention to create safety. Bike lanes have saved my life.
