I am a life long Torontonian. I use transit, walk, drive and ride My bike. For so many years it was a white-knuckle ride. I am so grateful for well placed separate bike lanes. We all need to share the road. Doug Ford is not the mayor and how dare he decide about bike lanes. Read more

I don’t think removing bike lanes to add more space for cars is the solution you’re looking for. We should be encouraging less drivers coming downtown by creating more pedestrian and cycling lanes - this will make it safer for pedestrians and cyclists as well as encourage more tourism. Read more

Bike lanes are necessary. Enough cyclists have died in Toronto. We need to get people out of cars, so bike lanes and more transit are the solution. I live south of Bloor and am happy with the new bike lanes around Bloor and Royal York. Read more

My mother I’m who is going into her seventies feels safer driving now that there are separate lanes for cyclists. Uber cyclists are all over the place. Drivers are distracted. Bloor st is so much easier to drive on now and I support bike lanes. Read more

Removing the bike lanes is wasteful of tax dollars and a misuse of provincial powers that would have a negative impact on the safety of cyclists and pedestrians -- local businesses who used to oppose the bike lanes, now see that it's actually been of benefit to the businesses, bringing in more local Read more

Removal of Bloor bike lanes is absolutely necessary! The traffic has increased drastically and I have witnessed emergency vehicles stuck and unable to push through traffic due to the bike lane barriers

This is a terrible proposal that focuses on entirely the wrong issues. The bike lanes have made commuting to work safer and more efficient for thousands of taxpaying residents of Toronto. They have increased traffic to businesses along these corridors. Read more

We need more and better planned bike lanes in our community of Etobicoke! Planning should focus first on people and certainly not on the needs of commuters who pass through our community in a car. Integrated transportation systems for transit (bus & subway), pedestrians, and yes bicycles. Read more

I’m writing as a deeply concerned citizen of Toronto to oppose Bill 212 and the Highway 413 Act, 2024. This bill threatens the heart of our communities, the environment, and the safety of Ontarians. Read more
