I’m a business owner on Bloor street west. We have seen a significant decrease in business since the bike lanes were installed. Traffic is so bad that people avoid Bloor street, and don’t come into my retail location. Read more

I truly hope bike lanes that have replaced car lanes, as such on Bloor St W, will be removed and the car lanes restored. The bike lane is hardly used, yet causes so much traffic congestion, negatively affects small businesses and creates unsafe conditions for both drivers and cyclists. Read more

As a homeowner and landlord with properties in Toronto, I strongly oppose this proposed legislation, which risks decreasing the value of my investments. I chose to invest in Ontario because I believed in its forward-looking future, particularly the rapid modernization of downtown Toronto. Read more

This is an incredibly regressive plan in a city that is already choked out by traffic congestion. Eliminating bike lanes will only cause more danger to cyclists and motorists and the process of ripping up the bike lanes will increase congestion even more. Read more

IN 2017, Doug Ford said the following: "You’re nervous when there’s no bike lanes. At least I was. We have to do everything we can to make sure three’s never a death in the city. Read more

I’m writing in opposition to the proposed Bill 212, another omnibus piece of legislation that is ostensibly intended to alleviate vehicular traffic by expanding the road network according to the government. Read more

I strongly oppose Bill 212. I love in Bloor West Village not more than five minutes from Bloor St. and strongly support all alternative modes of transportation, including bikes and bike lanes. Read more

This bill won’t save anyone any time, but anyone paying attention knows that’s not the point. If this was actually about reducing gridlock, you would be looking at reducing the number of people who choose to drive when they don’t have to. Read more

This proposal is misguided and counterproductive. You can safely fit more cyclists than motorists in the same space, so the more people on bikes the better traffic will be. It really is that simple. Read more

The bike lanes are a huge improvement to movement around the city, I have been cycling for 7 years in Toronto and it has improved greatly in terms of safety during that time. I’ve also seen many new cyclist commuters- this is a cleaner, healthier way to move around the city than driving. Read more

The roads where Ford government wants to remove bike lanes ( Yonge , Bloor and Avenue Rd) are roads that have subways and /or excellent public transit . Why are people driving on these roads in the first place which have the best public transit in the city ? Read more

Bill 212 creates unnecessary bureaucracy for both levels of government and wastes taxpayer dollars on both levels. It will make it more challenging for cyclists and motorists alike to navigate this city. Read more

Bike lanes are VERY important to me. They have long reaching effects that improve the quality of life of all Toronto residents. You already know the benefits. Let’s make this happen.

Eliminating bike lanes is a shortsighted and expensive attempt at a solution to downtown congestion. I live in midtown Toronto and use bike lanes regularly. Read more

Removal of bike lanes on Bloor, University and Yonge streets will not add another lane for traffic. For instance, Bloor west was never two lanes of traffic each way before the bike lanes. University still has 2 to 3 car lanes with the bike lanes in place. Read more

This bill is, first of all, an absurd waste of public resources. Shamefully, a “fiscally conservative” government is hell-bent on burning cash to oppose helpful and necessary urban planning initiatives solely because of their association with Liberal politics. Read more

These bike lanes are dangerous and not policed. I have yet to see a bike stop at a stop sign or a red light for that matter. The new electric bikes and scooters that now dominate the bike lanes also doing well over the speed limit set for cars. Read more

The city and those who run it have lost touch with reality. I remember listening to AM 640, where the head of the biker association stated that bikers don’t stop at stop signs because they lose momentum. This perfectly encapsulates the insanity of bike lanes in Toronto. Read more
