Traffic in Toronto is an urban planning issue that has nothing to do with the bike lanes. Removing bike lanes does not remove the cyclists. Without them, you will have cars and bikes together on the same narrow road, causing cars to move slower in and around the individuals cycling.

Hello,
I find the bike lanes make the roads less safe for pedestrian traffic as I have observed on many occasions cyclists ignoring traffic rules by disregarding pedestrian right of ways.

This is the dumbest, most ill-advised course of action the government could choose. Cities should decide what bike lanes go where, and how to remedy traffic and congestion issues.

The government should not waste tax money on bike lanes. The weather in Canada does not allow it to be used for more than six months in the year. Also driving is not at all safer with the bike lanes present. I am putting this comment as a biker myself
There are numerous ways to reduce driving times in the city, and I do not believe that removing bike paths is one of them. To ensure faster travel times for all Torontonians, methods of travel should be diversified.

I bike everywhere as my means of transportation and depend on bike lanes to feel safe. It’s already rough out here for cyclists and I’ve seen too many friends get in accidents this year from drivers who don’t know how to share the road.

I support the removal of bike lanes along Bloor Street from Runnymede to Aberfoyle. The new lanes were installed in blind pursuit of a policy, and were not installed with community needs in mind.

I am a resident of Bloor West Village in Toronto. My family supports the removal of the bike lanes along Bloor, not only from Runnymede west, but east of Runnymede as well. Anecdotally, many residents in the area feel the same way, even those who often cycle.

Ontario's Reducing Gridlock, Saving You Time Act, which aims to improve transportation infrastructure and reduce traffic congestion, is a proposal that may sound promising on the surface, but upon closer examination, it reveals several flaws that could worsen the problem it seeks to address and ulti

While I appreciate that there are some members of our community that travel by bikes. I do not believe this implementation was done in a thoughtful or inclusive manner.

As an Ontarian I am deeply disturbed by the proposition of this bill. The removal of bike lanes in Toronto with cause the deaths of cyclists. It also costs our taxpayers millions of dollars to destroy something we just built.

I am writing to express my concerns regarding Bill 212, which appears to prioritize the construction of Highway 413 while reducing support for active transportation infrastructure such as bike lanes.

I agree with the proposed changes. Traffic on Bloor Street in the Kingsway is horrible as. Result of the one lane being removed. I avoid Bloor St as much as possible and don’t frequent the stores as often as I did in the past. Bloor St crossing the Humber is always backed up as well.

As both a motorist and cyclist, I’m appalled by the lack of evidence-based decision-making in Bill 212.
- AMO, OPPI, OSPE, OTC, and 120 physicians oppose it.
- The bill ignores safety and health, focusing only on car traffic.

Requiring municipalities to seek provincial approval to install bike lanes that reduce the number of lanes available for vehicle traffic will result in decreased safety for vulnerable road users.

Protected bike lanes save lives, encourage healthy activity as part of everyday life, and improve total commuter throughput. The proposed bike lane removals in Toronto would actually encourage more people to drive along those streets through induced demand and removal of travel options.
