Bike lanes in this part of the city support the viability of healthy and efficient individualism which is a boon to economic grit. The supposed time saved here is informed by stinking thinking.

This bill is an absolute joke, and a waste of government time. Cyclists don't disappear by eliminating the infrastructure they use, they'll just end up mixed in with cars where they previously had a slightly safer option. This bill will make travel more difficult for car users and cyclists.

I used Toronto's Bike Share and bike lanes everyday for years.
To this day, it's my preferred way to get around the city.
This infrastructure has cost taxpayers time, patience, and money to install.
To tear them down would be a waste!
I am extremely disappointed by this proposal. My city, Waterloo, has done a terrific job of supporting modes of transportation other than the car. This proposal feels like a slap in the face and a step backwards.

For the younger generation it is imperative that we keep these and create additional bike lanes. I spent two decades in this city where my only options for travel were driving or TTC, no bike lanes existed and biking was a dangerous endeavour.

This is an absolute waste of taxpayer money. Using these funds to remove bike lanes is an affront to the people of Ontario. The schools and hospitals are starving and yet this government has money to throw at removing bike lanes.

Aside from the government overreach on municipal affairs in wanting to remove bike lanes to ease gridlock in Toronto, the government seems stuck in the past with regards to evidence-based findings that more car lanes and highways in fact do not ease gridlock.

Hi there, I’m disappointed that Bill 212 has been rushed through with such vague, dangerous language. This sloppiness allows for far too much overreach from the Province in every Schedule item. I’m strongly opposed to Bill 212.

I strongly oppose this legislation. As a car driver who drives along Bloor Street West, I am thrilled to have bike lanes that make cycling safer. To the extent there has been an increase in traffic, this is almost always a result of cars illegally parking in bike lanes and blocking traffic.

Preserving bike lanes means supporting clean transportation and reducing our carbon footprint. Toronto should lead by example in prioritizing environmentally friendly infrastructure.
I am writing to strongly support the move to have bike lanes removed, and new bike lanes reviewed and approved by the provincial government.
Further, currently implemented bike lanes, particularly on major streets, should be reviewed for removal.

I am have been a resident in the islington and bloor area for nearly 10 years. I am strongly supportive of removing the bike lanes in bloor west. The reduction in flow of traffic arising from the installation is patently obvious.

As a resident of the Annex and a frequent user of the roads in question (Avenue, Yonge, Bloor) by BOTH car and bike, I would like to object to the proposed framework on the following grounds:

Removing bike lanes is going to lead to more deaths on the road and make Toronto a joke in the eyes of other countries and cities who are progressing by making cities more connected and healthy for their citizens.

Please do not remove any bike lanes in Toronto. I live downtown and biking is my main way of commuting. These lanes make me feel incrementally safer- as the owner/driver of a vehicle I also appreciate how lanes maintain an automatic measured distance between myself and the cyclist.

I don't agree with this Bill. This Bill is disrespectful to our democracy and puts lives at risk. There are many people who CHOOSE to ride their bicycle, like me, I have a car but I CHOOSE to ride my bike.

Living in the Dovercourt Village area of Toronto, I have come to enjoy grabbing a bike share bicycle and heading to the store to pick up a thing or two. I have a car, but it's much more of a headache to try and find parking.
