Bloor street is a primay road on which I live in the Bloor-West area. Bike lanes are absolutely required for the safety of local residents that use it to make many local-area trips.

Just an absolute disgrace.
I’m not even a cyclist, but a few things I’ve noticed:
1) the bike lanes are already there and it would cost taxpayers millions of dollars to remove them
2) removing them will cause even more congestion especially knowing how swiftly road work gets done in Toronto

My family and I frequently use the Bloor and University bike lanes. Removing them makes biking less safe and will not help traffic. There is no data showing that bike lanes negatively impact traffic - they help take cars off the streets.

I am strongly opposed to the passage of Bill 212. As climate change and population growth explode we must have alternatives to private automobile transportation for Torontonians.

Spending more money increasing the amount of space that cars take up in this city is not efficient in the slightest. Reducing traffic means increasing alternates for transportation, such as biking. Do not remove bike lanes!
I’m really concerned about the province’s plan to remove existing bike lines and set up the framework to interfere with building new ones. This does not respect the democratic self-governance of Toronto, is harmful to the environment and will lead to an increase in severe injuries and death.

The irony of putting all this work to set up bike lanes to only take them away is disgusting. This endangers riders and but its not like the people in power ever cared about its people that are under a certain tax bracket
In all of the discussions about bike lanes, the government is forgetting that it is not just about the lanes but about the people and their SAFETY in using the lanes.

Thank you so much for stepping in and addressing the bike lane situation particularily on Bloor St West. I live and work nearby the Kingsway and frequently go to Bloor West Village.

I dont believe taking away installed bike lanes will help ease traffic. Traffic will become worse because of the construction it will cause and then even after words, bike will no have to share the lane not just the road.

Bill 212 is a political move to woo car drivers before the next election which your government will soon spring on us . Bike lanes are essential for cyclists safety . Cycling and other forms of micro transport are growing and this move will work to make this form of transport less feasible.

This proposed legislation is a ridiculous example of overreach by Doug Ford. City staff and councillors are much better able to judge the needs and interests of Toronto residents. Overriding that is not due to any reasonable evaluation of the benefits of bike lanes.

Why is the provincial government involving itself in municipal affairs to a degree that it undermines the local decisions made by civic leaders elected by city residents?

I recently fell of my bike in the bike lane on Bloor Street West in Toronto to avoid a vehicle that suddenly pulled over in front of me in the bike lane. Had I not fallen inside the bike lane or veered into the live vehicle lane I would have been run over by a car behind me.

I am in full disagreement of this proposal. The efforts made to reduce congestion at the city level should not have to pass the approval of municipal government.

Dear Minister Sarkaria ET al, I am a voter living in the West end of Toronto. I travel predominately by foot, on the TTC and by car. I rarely use bike lanes. Nonetheless, it is clear to me that bike lanes make our cities safer, more efficient and more pleasant.
