I feel Bill 212 is the wrong way to handle congestion. Building more highways and lanes has been proven to be ineffective in improving traffic. What has been proven effective is providing alternatives to driving. Bicycles and transit are an important part of that. Read more

I'm against Bill 212. My comment is only on the removal of bike lanes on University, Bloor and Yonge and the province's overreach to restrict bike lanes going forward, because they affect my everyday life directly. Read more

These bike lanes keep me and my 3 and 4 year olds safe when I'm biking them through the city on the back of my bike. I've had a number of scary situations and now only feel comfortable biking with them if we are protect from cars on bike lanes. I won't bike with them on busy streets without a lane. Read more

I am opposed to the removal of bike lanes, that are improving the transportation networks in Toronto. I live, work and commute in the city of Toronto as a driver, a user of transit, a walker and a cyclist depending upon destination. Read more

This initiative is very ill advised. It is putting the lives of cyclists in grave danger and will result in many accidents and death. It is also incredibly fiscally irresponsible. Those tens of millions of dollars could be much better spent than on removing already existing infrastructure. Read more

Removing bike lanes to improve traffic is as redundant as removing your legs to run faster. It's clear that this idea was not vetted for issues, as most common people even know that bike lanes don't impede traffic.

Drivers aren't educated on how to drive around cyclist which is absolutely insane. Our safety is at risk if bikes lanes are removed. You are basically passing a law that allows them to kill us. Read more

This proposal is absolutely silly. I get the frustrations on both sides but eliminating bike lanes only will put more people at risk by having two streams of traffic intermingling. This does not seem to be in the interest of the people and a distraction from the real causes of traffic. Read more

Premier - It is known worldwide that the answer to grid lock, as well as safety risks for pedestrians and cyclists is not to add more cars to the road, but to build better, cleaner, safer ways for people to move around the city. Read more

I think this bill is taking Ontario in the wrong direction. We know that bike lanes reduce traffic rather than creating congestion. And everyone is happier when cyclists are in their own lane. The cyclists are safer and drivers don't have to worry about overtaking bikes. Read more

The existing bike lanes should not be removed. The city is already underserved by bike lanes and should be adding not removing. These are valuable commuter bike paths that contribute to the cities economic health. Thank you.
