I've grown up in Toronto and lived here my whole life.
I have recently moved downtown for the first time and have used the extensive cycling network almost every day of 2024. Thanks to biking every day my health has never been better.

This could easily be catastrophic for the safety and ease of commute for drivers and cyclists alike. Without bike lanes, bikes, e-bikes and other means of transportation will blend with drivers and create a higher chance of collision.

Bike lanes are a crucial feature of transit within our municipalities, and especially large cities. As a cyclist, I have experienced many close calls with motorists who have either not been paying attention while driving, or do not know the rules of the road.

It is extremely regressive to attempt to damage active infrastructure in any major city, using it as distraction to force a lack of environmental oversight on a major highway project is appalling and deceptive.

I strongly disagree with removing the bike lanes. I’m both a car owner and a cyclist, and live near Bloor. 8/10 times it’s faster for me to get on my bike to get groceries, etc, than to try and drive. The removal of bike lanes just means I’ll be in my car, making congestion worse.

My commute uses the Dundas, River, Shuter, and Sherbourne bike lanes. Not only does the existence of these lanes make my journey safer, it means I do not need to drive to work.

I am a business owner and resident of Etobicoke. Since the insertion of bike lanes on Bloor at Royal York the congestion and traffic has been terrible. It has created a danger spud driving environment for both cyclists and drivers.

We need to dramatically reduce carbon emissions, and encouraging people to bike is an important part of this reduction. This proposal does not move us in the right direction.
We live in the Etobicoke area. The bike lanes were installed and implemented to the best of my knowlege with minimal or NO consultation. The first we heard is when the city sent our flyers that looked like it was consultation but in fact was just informing us what they were doing.

I am against the bike lines
They have been very disruptive in our community. I live in Bloor West Village, and work in Etobicoke.
These bike lanes cause dangerous, congestion. It is very difficult for elderly people to get around, and have access to the services in our neighborhood.

Bill 212 is yet another example of this government acting on preconceived notions without adequate input from those who will be affected. I am taking part even though I do not anticipate that my comments will make any material difference on the outcome.

We do not support Bill 212, which is being rushed through without adequate transparency, and that it is about much more than just Toronto bike lanes.

I think is this wrong for multiple reasons, but the strongest is that municipalities have the best knowledge of their neighborhoods, traffic flow and community needs.
