I am strongly in favour of decisions regarding the location, viability, and installation of bike lanes to remain with municipalities. Bike lanes make it safer for me to drive my car and reduces the risk of me accidentally hitting a cyclist. Read more

If you care about safety in municipalities across the province of Ontario, and are actually committed to reducing congestion in our cities and towns, you will not remove bike lanes, nor reduce the opportunity to build more. Read more

I am a constituent and daily car driver in the Toronto centre riding and I strongly oppose the Ontario government's Bill 212 to remove existing bike lanes and obstruct future bike lane construction. Read more

Very disappointed to hear the province is attempting to make it more challenging for municipalities to create bike lanes. Removing lanes of car traffic for bike lanes has brought Toronto into the 21st century. Read more

Please do whatever you can to hinder drivers. Bikes should have priority over drivers in cities and if anything we should be closing some roads to make pedestrian/bike traffic quicker, instead of the other way around. Driving is not good and should be discouraged

This shouldn’t be happening. It’s not the premier’s business. It will cost more and improve nothing. He already ruined the TTC by privatizing it. It cost many people their jobs, and made it more expensive to ride. Read more

This proposal is deeply disappointing on multiple levels, and I strongly oppose this legislation. Having grown up in Toronto, I have witnessed firsthand the transformative benefits of increased bike lanes—particularly on University Avenue, Bloor Street, and Yonge Street. Read more

Bike lanes are a crucial part of Toronto infrastructure, and infrastructure in many other parts of the province. The solution to gridlock is fewer CARS and bike lanes help to facilitate that. Read more

The people who use bike lanes will be forced to take other modes of transit, most likely cars, if there are not safe bike lanes for them to ride in. This will increase car traffic and will make congestion worse, neither of which will save anyone any time. Read more

This bill not only will put bikers and car drivers at risk of further accidents and damage to property, it will also bring down business revenues across the major intersections due to food deliveries falling down and overall bike traffic likely being reduced. Read more

These bike lanes are unbelievably important! They keep me and my family safe. I'll be devastated if they leave. Truthfully, it would influence a move to Montreal if it were to go ahead.

I believe the proposal is short sighted and reckless. - Cities and their democratically elected representatives are in the best position to determine the needs of its residents. In Toronto, for example, bicycle-lane decisions have been well studied and carefully implement. Read more

Cyclist deaths are on the rise each year in Toronto. As a Toronto cyclist for 20+ years, I've noticed that the car traffic keeps increasing and cycling keeps becoming scarier and more dangerous. Read more

this bill is a clear attempt at a landgrab with no actual concern for the traffic efficiency it claims to defend. removing bike lanes is clear pandering to those who will never use bike lanes and see them as nothing more than an impediment to their commute. Read more

Please do not remove the bike lanes. I have been biking in the city for nearly 35 years and before the bike lanes were installed on major routes it was getting increasingly more and more dangerous. Read more

I cycle regularly across the city, and feel safer using the Bloor-Danforth bike lanes. Bike lanes save lives and encourage cycling. Cycling is good exercise and exercise benefits physical and mental health. Read more
