I use the Bloor bike lane to get to work everyday - and also use it with my 2 year to visit family on weekends. It would be a real problem to lose the bike lane, I would feel much less safe, and in some cases switch to using a car
As a driver and a cyclist I can understand the situation from both sides. As a cyclist I find the bike lanes improve safety and efficiency while biking around the city.

This is going to be terrible for the traffic. Is it well known that adding road lanes doesn´t increase efficiency. This is known as the Braess's paradox.

As a resident of multiple years in the region of Old Toronto, I oppose Bill 212 in it's current form as an obtuse overreach of provincial powers in municipal matters.

I'm a cyclist. I use the bike lanes in my city. But I didn't always bike to work or to the shops downtown or to meet my friends for coffee. I only started biking to these places after I had access to safe bike lanes.

This entire bill is an abuse of power and democratic procedures. There should be no exemptions to environmental reviews or policies for construction of any infrastructure.

Traffic, driven by car use in Toronto is horrific. Cycling is often the most efficient way to traverse the city. In order to be a world class city we should be investing in making Toronto a safer, more connected place for cyclists.

Adding more roads, and more lanes to existing roads, is not the solution to gridlock. The province must build more bike and train infrastructure. It’s appalling that it’s taken 14 years for the work on the Crosstown and there’s still no end in sight!

This proposal is completely misguided. If you're trying to reduce the number of cars on the road, and hence reduce gridlock and pollution, bicycle lanes are a great way to do it.

This is a terrible piece of legislation for long-term traffic goals, gridlock and the environment.
Intelligent civic leaders all over the world are increasing options for mobility beyond private cars because they recognize that a reliance on automobiles is fundamentally unsustainable.

Given all the examples from around the world showing the positive benefits of a coherent joined up infrastructure for bikes and other wheeled alternatives to the car it seems like an act of self harm to rip up bike lanes already built.

This cyclist was side swiped by a car on a street without bike lanes. I recall only some of the accident, especially pain. According to witnesses and police the bike and I went flying into a concrete post face first.

Stop bill 212 from proceeding. This is an egregious attack on necessary transportation plans and connections for a growing majority of people who cannot afford to own and operate a vehicle in the city of Toronto and other municipalities across Ontario.

I am writing to tell you how much I oppose Bill 212. We need more bike lanes, not fewer. I bike to work every day, all year round (from Coxwell/Danforth to Dundas/Yonge). My teenaged daughter bikes to school.

Keep our cyclists safe! Continue investing in infrastructure that doesn’t rely on more parking, it’s already gridlock enough downtown and removing bike lanes will only exacerbate congestion.
I use the bike lane son Bloor several times a week and I feel so much safer because of them. My commute is also faster than other public transit modes of transport. Cokin
Adding more lanes to a road does not reduce gridlock. The only way to reduce girdlock is to get cars off the road with alternative options for travel. Stop wasting your time trying to address non-issues. Leave municipal politics to municipalities.
