It is a ridiculous waste of taxpayer money to remove bike lanes that have just been constructed. Never mind the enormous, unnecessary cost, we need bike lanes. Our city needs multiple, viable forms of transport available. We need to invest in sustainable ways to get people across our growing city.

Pulling out the bike lanes doesn’t remove the bikes from the road. They will now be riding in traffic and slowing down traffic further, putting everyone in more precarious situations. It is not worth the money to rip up *existing infrastructure*.

Bike Lane save lives. We need them in our city infrastructure as they alleviate gridlock by having a safe route for more folks to travel bike freely, safely and efficiently. As both a cyclist and car owner I often bike because it is more efficient

Clearly we are headed into a future where options other than cars will be imperative. A responsible mix of bike lanes makes sense and, for anyone that will consider riding as an option, are extremely enjoyable.

I am a driver, a cyclist, and a pedestrian. The proposed plan to remove existing bike lanes and require provincial approval for the implementation of bike lanes where a lane of traffic is reduced is nonsensical, dangerous, and a provincial overreach.

I strongly disapprove of removing any bike lanes anywhere. Bike lanes make cyclists safe, and help ensure pedestrian safety as well. It makes vehicle drivers more aware of other road users.

The proposal to over ride local municipalities decisions to implement local initiatives such as bike lanes is not acceptable.
It is my observation that municipalities do not implement such initiatives without consulting with their constituents.

Removal of bike lanes on Bloor St, Yonge and University Ave will not alleviate traffic congestion. It will cost taxpayers $48 million in unnecessary spending, and endanger the lives of the city's most vulnerable road users. Cars are the primary cause of traffic congestion, not bikes or bike lanes.

Cycling has been my main means of getting around the city, and removing bike lanes is essentially completely cutting off my ability to do so safely.

I use the proposed bike lane removals in bill 212 on a daily basis to get around the city. If I did not I would ba another car on the road. Cars also appreciate that I have a safe designated lane that they can safely maneuver around while they get around the city.

Don’t do this. Don’t waste our money, resources and time on something that won’t actually provide more roads for drivers.
I drive more than I bike to move around this city, and I’m in full support of making cycling safer and more accessible.

As both a driver and a cyclist in Toronto I can’t imagine how anyone would think the removal of the bike lanes (many that have been firmly established routes across the city) is a good idea.

The bike lanes have already been incredibly beneficial in Toronto, not only do they make it safer for people to travel in an affordable and environmentally friendly way, they also have added benefits of safety for other travels and creating a further barrier from vehicle for pedestrians.

I am writing to express my opposition to Bill 212. Removing bike lanes and prohibiting the creation of new ones is a completely wrong-headed approach to safety and urban mobility. Bill 212 is clearly not an evidence-based approach to congestion because it goes against all of the evidence.

I am opposed to this bill as I think it is misguided, will not solve the problem it intends to, and unnecessarily overreaches the province's authority over local municipalities.
