Removing bike lanes is a not a future-oriented policy. We should be thinking about how we can reduce the number of cars on the road, not make it easier for more to come back! The city is a shared space, and we should be prioritizing climate-friendly transit. Read more

Please do not remove bike lanes!! Canadians are having trouble with the cost of living as it is. Removing bike lanes will unduly hurt people trying to reduce their environmental impact and live within their means in an already expensive setting. Thank you.

I am writing to voice my concerns regarding the proposed bill 212. The sections related to adding more highways will only be a temporary panacea for reducing congestion. Instead adding additional highways leads to induced demand and there will be even more traffic and congestion. Read more

I am very disappointed to hear about the pending removal of bike lanes in the Toronto core. This is key infrastructure that enables people to stay active, reduce pollution, and reduce traffic and noise. I use these lanes to get around the Bloor West area often, as does the rest of my family. Read more

Keep the bike lanes! Absolutely ridiculous that we would spend money to remove them on bloor, university and yonge. University having just been finished this year. As a downtown resident I am and will be extremely angry if Bill 212 is passed. Read more

No one is saving time with this bill and infact over time if the bike lanes are removed, traffic will get worse on those roads. It's called induced demand and has been studied to death for decades. Read more

Reducing the amount of bike lanes will reduce the number of people who are opting to use active transportation. Community members of all ages are more likely to walk and bike when they are supported by infrastructure like bike lanes to do so. Read more

I am strongly against this Bill, Toronto should have authority over its bike lanes. As a constant user of the bike lanes I have found them to be lifesaving as drivers in Toronto do not know how to share the road with cyclists. Read more

The bike lanes are what has given me safety and security getting to my jobs. Dedicated lanes for my bike provide ease of transportation without having to worry about cars for the most part. Read more

Please reconsider the impacts Bill-212 will have. We all want to get around cities easier and safer, and there are many of us who also want climate-friendly options. Transportation is the second largest emitter in cities, and in Toronto accounts for 35% of the cities carbon emissions. Read more

Congestion in Toronto IS getting worse (costs GTA ~$11 Billion annually according to Toronto Region Board of Trade) but it's because the GTA has grown by ~500,000 people since 2020 and is expected to add another 3 million in the next 20 years. Read more

Throughout my life I've enjoyed biking with my family, friends, and now my own child in Ontario for work, errands and fun. Biking is a great leveller for moving around. It is affordable, active and good for the air we breath. Read more

This bill is a bad idea which makes bikes the scapegoats for the problems of having too many cars. As reported by the CBC, the evidence is mixed (at best) for how much bike lanes actually contribute to congestion. Read more

Please don't remove our bike lanes. I use the Bloor bike path at least 5 times a week. I won't stop using Bloor to get where I need to go, but I'll risk death. This legislation will kill people. Bikes have a right to the roads, and the right to safety. Read more
