Hi. The Bloor bike lane is the only way to get my daughter across town safely by bike. I’m not sure how we’ll be able to do it otherwise. Driving in the street with a 4 year old on the back is terrifying. Lakeshore bike lane is an option but it’d add quite a lot of time to the commute.

Bike lanes are an important safety measure to reduce accidents on the road for drivers, pedestrians and cyclists alike. Removing these lanes, which required time and money to put up in the first place, will be extremely dangerous and in efficient use of public funds. Read more

Absolute embarrassment that this government would spend millions to rip up existing infrastructure and insert this level of bureaucracy. Constant government intervention by "conservatives" is an joke.

Removing bike lanes will not resolve gridlock, reliable and affordable public transit will. Car centered traffic is incompatible with highly dense populations. Furthermore the appropriation of private land for public works must be properly done, with fair outcomes to all parties involved. Read more

Traffic in Toronto is an urban planning issue that has nothing to do with the bike lanes. It if anything has more to do with the lack of delivery of updated transit options and consistent building/upgrades over the many past decades. Read more

As a member of a community association in the Pleasant View area, I strongly support the Province getting involved in approving where new bike lanes are implemented and reviewing existing bike lanes for potential removal. Read more

I am a concerned Ontario resident and Canadian citizen and outraged at the carelessness of this Bill. - Ontario does not need billons of spent dollars on a highway to nowhere when our deficit is through the roof and getting worse. We need more mass transit solutions. Read more

The proposed "Reducing Gridlock, Saving You Time Act" is being presented as a Trojan horse. This government and the news are talking about bike lanes when the meat and potatoes of this Act is actually a curtailing of property rights. This is total nonsense. Read more

This is not a good idea, you need to invest in proper urban planning. People do not want to spend money on their cars, people have been forced to use their cars because your bike lanes, and public transportation infrastructure and planning is inadequate. Read more

As a public health epidemiologist, I am vehemently opposed to Bill 212. All evidence shows that bike lanes reduce traffic congestion; in fact, there is no good evidence suggesting that more car lines reduce congestion, even taking bikes out of the picture. Read more

As a business owner with multiple locations throughout Ontario, delivering fabricated stone throughout the province, I cannot offer support on this proposal. A dedicated bike lane functions to protect our most valuable citizens; young children and elderly citizens. Read more
