This bill is dishonest and harmful to the future of the province. It's been proven time and time again that highways DO NOT reduce traffic. Investments in infrastructure, public transit, and--guess what--giving people the choice to safely commute on bikes DOES! Read more

I agree with the removal of Bike lanes on Bloor west. We went from from no traffic in the corridor between Islington Ave and Runnymede RD to having downtown traffic where no existed before. I run everyday down Bloor from Islington Ave to Prince Edward Rd. Read more

With Toronto traffic being notoriously bad, you’d think reducing vehicle traffic would be a high priority to relieve congestion. By removing bike lanes, one can only imagine it would be to increase vehicle lanes. Read more

My bicycle is my sole vehicle. Bike lanes are the only way for me to be safe. In 2019, I was hit by on car on lower Sherbourne. It was dark and raining. The driver did not even check if I was ok and drives away. Bike lanes save lives.

Biking in Toronto is the main form of commuting for many people living in the city including myself. It is the most affordable, fastest way. It is already unsafe biking in Toronto because of how loose the city is on traffic laws please don’t get rid of the bike lanes. Read more

Our bike lanes are used by thousands of people every day. I and all of my friends use them regularly, and their expansion over the past decade has palpably improved our experience of the city. Read more

Close to where I live, three people have been killed by car drivers in recent memory. One was an innocent lady just standing on the sidewalk when a car jumped the curb and killed her. Read more

I am a cyclist. I cannot afford a car. Like baby in the city, bike lanes are the only way I can safely and affordably traverse urban areas to get where I need to go. Studies have shown that bike lanes reduce congestion, not increase it, and that adding car lanes does NOT reduce congestion. Read more

I remember gridlock on Bloor Street when there were two lanes of traffic on either side. Car drivers will use whatever space is available. Bikes take up much less space than cars and bike riders deserve to be able to travel safely. Read more

Removing bike lanes is a simplistic view of the cause of gridlock, not to mention a huge waste of taxpayers' money. Research has shown that bike lines are not behind traffic congestion, improve road safety, improve foot traffic to businesses, and reduce the number of drivers on the road. Read more

SOLUTION: Revert the lanes and add SHARROW LANE MARKINGS. Instead of taking away an entire lane, simply paint "SHARROW" markings on those lanes. These markings indicate that bicycles and motor vehicles share the lane. Read more

Bill 212 makes me feel like the city and province will become so much scarier with escalating violence and rampant inaccessibility during a time when we need to be supporting others to be less car-dependent. Read more
