I think bike lanes are important for safe travel through the city for those that cannot afford cars and cannot reply on public transit. I disagree with the province involving itself in municipal matters.

THANK YOU, Ontario Government, For STOPPING the construction of bicycle lanes, and REMOVING bicycle lanes that were installed without proper research. The City of Toronto is killing the economy of our city by constricting the streets from car usage by reducing street lanes for bicycles. Read more

People will likely die as a result of removing bike lanes, this proposal reduces active transportation and not not consider climate obligations. This proposal also ignores expert opinion and is not supported by business associations, health organizations and municipalities. Read more

Bike lanes are an important part of reducing car congestion, creating fast total flow of humans (by any method - pedestrian, bike, car, transit). They reduce GHG, encourage more local shopping, and are an important funnel into transit systems. Read more

As long time residents ( 1995) in The Kingsway I am wholeheartedly for having this legislation to go forward & have the bike lanes removed from Bloor Street. Each time I turn onto the street all I can see is gridlock & I feel sick to my stomach for the frustration these lanes represent. Read more

I do not have the privilege of owning a car. Bike lanes provide me with the safety, confidence, and independence I need to get around Toronto. Motor vehicles are an ongoing cause of deaths, pollution, noise, and traffic. Read more

Before the bike lanes, you could not park on Bloor Street past 4:00pm because of rush hour and keeping the traffic flowing. Tow trucks would line up and cars not abiding with the law were towed away! What happened to that logic? Read more

I am a 64 year old who commutes to work in Toronto by TTC, car, and e-bike. Driving to work has become completely unfeasible for me, not because of gridlock but because of parking which is very expensive and hard to find. Read more

Bill 212 is a short-sighted, car-centric approach to transportation that ignores the long-term benefits of sustainable infrastructure. By prioritizing roads over bike lanes and public transit, we're sacrificing our health, our environment, and our quality of life. Read more

I can buy the bike lanes on Bloor West have a bad impact on traffic, but this talking point is disappointing as a cycling advocate, because in this case where a local community is bringing up major issues with transport infrastructure, perhaps some compromise is needed, a new design that lowers lane Read more

The proposal to remove bike lanes from University Avenue is short-sighted and poorly planned. Of all the Toronto bike lanes that are under review for removal, the University Avenue lanes are likely the most used - and at all times of the day and night. Read more
