This is a falacy - bike lanes don't create gridlock. CARS CREATE GRIDLOCK. CAR TRAFFIC CREATES GRIDLOCK. Removing bike lanes will endanger the life of all cyclists and put more people back in CARS. Research has repeatedly shown that widening roads makes congestion worse. Read more

Drop Bill 212. This is a terrible piece of legislation. Leave the bike lanes where they are. Highway 413 doesn’t need to be built. I wish you would listen to reason and make evidence-based decisions. If so, this bill would ln’t even exist.

My comment is as follows, and does not actually deal with the issues surrounding bikes & automobiles cohabitation within society! I firmly believe we need to deal with what I’ll refer to as the Elephant of Ontario! Read more

While I do not like the provincial government infringing upon municipal jurisdiction, I do not feel that the city has made good decisions on recent extensions, specifically Bloor West/Jane and west from there. Read more

This is counterproductive as cyclists have the right to use the full lane and will do so if bike lanes are not in place. It also creates confusion when cars or cyclists are turning, leading to more gridlock and accidents. Read more

I used to love shopping on Bloor St W. Now we have ugly white poles along the road way and I personally know 2 older men, who have tripped and fallen over them. There are long dark planters filled with weeds. Green, lavender and red blocks are painted along the roadways. Read more

As a Toronto resident, driver, and cyclist, I oppose the provisions in the bill that would remove existing bike lane infrastructure. My family uses the bike lanes. My children use them regularly and without the bike lanes, their travels would be less safe. Read more

If this bill is passed, it will massively impact the safety of both Toronto residents, and Ontario Citizens. Cycling is a critical form of transportation for many, especially in densely populated city where it is very expensive to own, drive, and store a vehicle. Read more

I am against this bill. It emphasizes the opportunity to alleviate traffic, but aims to implement measures that will worsen then, and sneaks in provisions to allow the government to steamroll citizens, bypassing proper checks and balances. Read more

Hello, I would like to show my support for bike lanes in Toronto. It has been proven countless times that bike lines do not cause congestion. In fact they help reduce congestion significantly not to mention all the other benefits that they provide. Read more

Bike lanes are part of a progressive sustainable environmental plan. Removing existing bike lanes will just cause more cars to be on the road, increased gridlock, increased emissions, more wear on the road infrastructure. Read more

At the end of the day, Bill 212 is a shocking waste of money regardless of your personal feelings about bike lane and city congestion. Can we consider the real financial cost? Yes, the millions to remove. But what about the millions spent installing them? Read more

As a frequent user of bike lanes in Toronto I strongly disagree with this proposed legislation. I am also a car owner and driver. I do not think anyone should expect to drive into downtown Toronto and think they have a right to free-flowing, car-dominated streets. Read more
