I use the bike lanes every day to commute between the west side and the University of Toronto. It is an essential feature in my daily-life; one that shortens my daily commute. Bike-lanes make me feel safe, protected from traffic (car and pedestrian).

I’m angry that the provincial government would think it’s ok to remove existing bike lanes. You really want more pedestrians and cyclists killed?
Also, building highways or tunnels that destroy or jeopardize our Green Belt is so short sighted.

As a transportation engineer, I would like to support various points identified by many professional associations and explain why Bill 212 should NOT be approved as is.

The decision to restrict and remove bike lanes in Toronto is not a fact based decision and will not help gridlock but rather contribute to more traffic and potentially more gridlock as cyclists take to driving in car lanes. The real cause of most traffic delays is construction projects .

1 bike for every 90 cars in summer on Bloor.....
1 bike for every 300 cars in winter on Bloor.....
Toronto is run by the most foul and unreasonable officials
Bike lanes = side streets = Fair and balance
Banning bike lanes on Bloor, Yonge, and University makes no rational sense.
Right now we have 2 lanes of driving, two lanes of parking, and two bike lanes.

I strongly oppose this bill and fear for my own safety and the safety of my children if it is passed. It is a clear overreach into municipal issues and does nothing to touch the underlying causes of congestion.

My children need the Bloor bike lanes to get to school and sports activities. Bike lanes are a sign of a healthy city. I drive, I walk, I cycle, I take transit… cycling is the most enjoyable and efficient way to get around this city.
I have a car and also I use bicycle to commute to work (I've lived in Toronto and also in Burlington Ontario for a while) . I use bike because I can save money, get exercise and it's faster. it necessary to provide bike infrastructure (protected bike lanes) to make bicycle commute safe.

I am soley a driver and even I think this bill is ridiculous. To suggest that the removal of bike lanes will ease traffic conditions downtown is laughable. Please consider making all other modes of transportation feasible and safer for all Ontario citizens.

It is complete madness to remove bike lanes on Bloor Street or anywhere else in this city. As both a cyclist and a driver I have noticed ZERO difference in commute times as a driver on streets with bike lanes and as a cyclist I can move around faster and more safely.

I'm a lifelong resident of Toronto who has never biked (I usually walk and sometimes drive).
I am strongly against the removal of the bike lanes because I feel much safer while driving when the bikes are separated and as a pedestrian I don't want them on the sidewalks.

Not only do bikes lanes offer a protected area for bike riding from the already congested city traffic, they are also better for the environment. As a society we should be encouraging other alternatives to cars for short trips across the city?

PROVINCE HAS TO TAKE OVER - FULL STOP !
STOP THIS INSANITY
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD
FAMILIES CAN NO LONGER HANDLE THIS TRAFFIC FOR NO REASON
WHERE ARE THE BIKES?????
PLEASE HELP US
I am disappointed in the suggestion to remove the bike lanes in Toronto on Bloor, University etc. and expanding the review to other area. This would force the bicycles (which provide an essential service alternative to public transit, and to deliver to personal and business related items.

I am vehemently against removing bike lanes in Toronto. The downtown core should be bike-friendly and public-transport friendly. The last thing we need is more cars downtown. We should be encouraging the use of bikes and provide bike lanes to make bike-riding safe.

Please leave traffic issues to the city councillors that we have elected. My son is 12 and is just learning that he can bike in the city safely with this protected bike lanes. We have them please leave them.
