I moved back to Ontario (the province I was born in) in 2020 after living many years in Quebec. I was pleased to find out that London Ontario (the city I moved to) was installing bike lanes and improving their infrastructure.

I am strongly opposed to Bill 212. As a daily cyclist and a Toronto resident, I rely on bike lanes to commute safely and efficiently when doing everything from short neighbourhood errands to crossing the city for work.

Hi,
I’m in firm opposition to this bill as it gives the province too much power over my land and endangers fellow cyclists who last I checked are also human beings whose lives are important.

I ride my bike every day in Toronto to take my daughter to daycare. The street I take does not have a bike lane and is very busy. If I drove, I would be one more car blocking the roads. Instead on my bike I can share the lane with the cars and get through much faster.

As someone who moves throughout the province and the Greater Toronto Area on foot, bicycle, public transit, and private vehicle, I am 100% opposed to this completely asinine piece of legislation.

I am in complete favour of the removal of bike from Bloor Street West. Every day, I have to navigate Bloor Street West from Dundas to Jane and the congestion is horrible. It’s also challenging to navigate around people trying to exit their vehicles from the parking spots into live traffic.

I would like to start this comment off by stating I don’t typically get involved in politics, I have in the last 3-4 months and what I’ve started to learn is alarming.

Nobody wants to get rid of the bike lanes. Not the engineers. Not the businesses on those streets, certainly not the people who ride bikes. Getting rid of them won’t even decrease travel time!

In order to address the systemic urban problems of high cost of living, safety, and green house gas emissions, we would be best off transitioning toward dense, pedestrian oriented urban form (Rode et al., 2017).

This is a terrible idea. Why spend money to increase traffic and make it harder to be healthy?
It's almost like people with financial interest in creating suffering have direct influence on the government.

I do not support the removal of bike lanes in the City of Toronto or in any other municipal jurisdiction within the province of Ontario. Opportunities for improvements exist but this new legislation is unnecessary and wasteful.

This seems really backwards. Bike infrastructure is really improving in the city and really helps my own mobility on Bixi's. Seems like the Premier is only interested in improving his own commute and no one else's...which feels pretty apt for his track record.

Below are Peel Region's comments on the Bill 212 Reducing Gridlock, Saving You Time Act 2024 – Framework for bike lanes that require the removal of a traffic lane (ERO 019-9266).

Don’t remove bike lanes. They make biking in the city safer. Removing them will not reduce the number of bikers on the road, it will only make them unsafe. Removing them will also not even come close to solving the traffic problems this city faces.
Removing Bloor, University, and Yonge bike lanes is a waste of resources that could be better spent in other ways to improve the city. These are also major transit routes that I, and many others, young and old, use daily to travel through the city.
The wording of the title of your bill is very misleading. Bike lanes do not lead to gridlock more cars on the road do. I rely on bike lanes in Toronto to get around safely in the city, from work and back and to various places en route.

I commute everyday downtown and I rarely see anyone using the bike lanes from Royal York to South Kingsway. This is for spring, summer and fall. In the winter, I never see anyone. It seems the data used for actual biking usage of the lanes is erroneous.
