As on Ontario and Toronto resident who both drives and bikes, I find this Bill and rationale for it poor at best, and more focussed on driving a political agenda vs. fixing the problem of gridlock. There are root causes of gridlock you can be focussing on vs. pitting cyclists against motorists. Read more

Bike lanes improve safety for cyclists and drivers . We should also be encouraging the use of public transit and environmentally friendly means of transportation such as cycling rather than continuing to push the agenda for cars and fossil fuels. Read more

There are multiple pieces of this bill that are problematic: The lack of oversight with regard to environmental impact and engineering oversight, and ignoring feedback from experts in these areas to push through the highway projects named in this bill. Read more

Removing bike lanes is idiotic and dangerous. Bike lanes not only protect cyclists, they IMPROVE traffic flow. Also, what a waste of money to remove bike lanes that have already been installed. I am absolutely opposed to the removal of bike lanes.

How can this possibly be a real debate? Bike lanes are good for the health of the city - from a climate change perspective, and a people’s health perspective. Spend these precious resources increasing bike lanes, not taking them away to fill the streets with harmful cars. Shameful proposal.

I am disappointed and scared by this legislation. I currently use the bike lanes that were put in with years of debate and cost of millions of dollars, partly for the safety of health care workers like myself who cycle to work at UHN. Read more

Please preserve and maintain bike lanes. We need more bike lanes not less. They do so much for the community. They allow bicyclists to travel safely out of the way of both pedestrians and vehicles. They provide alternate transportation. They promote health and less carbon emissions.

The proposal for the removal of bike lanes is a gross misuse of funding, and by moving forward with this bill the City of Toronto is actively endangering thousands of both cyclists and drivers alike. Read more

Ontario should seek to emulate successful urban planning strategies in other cities to create livable, dynamic and environmentally resilient communities. Part of the strategy is to encourage local decision makings, including the construction of bike lanes. Read more

This proposal is terrible for the environment, will cause a major inconvenience for cyclists who currently use those bike lanes, and is a very inefficient use of space as cars take up more space per passenger than bikes.

Removal of bike lanes will not improve traffic. Removing bike lanes will cause more accidents between cyclist and drivers, which will create more traffic for drivers. Read more

This is the most ill-conceived smooth-brained pandering to morons by morons that goes against the professional advice of urban planners and licensed civil engineers. It serves only to make traffic worse, cost Toronto taxpayers money three times over while delivering nothing. Read more

As a citizen of Toronto for the past twenty-five years and as someone who learned how to ride a bike in this city, I urge the City of Toronto not to remove bike lanes as proposed by Bill 212! Read more
