- we need to build for where we are going - not where we were several decades ago. - there will be tens of thousands of new residents in our city who will need to get around - they can't all drive cars. Read more

A sad a baseless political move. We have study after study showing that more car lanes equals more cars, that bikes lanes are good for communities and businesses. Read more

A few quick thoughts:: 1. The recommendation is the wrong solution at the wrong time: Autonomous vehicles are going to be taking over. More lanes won't be needed. Gridlock and accidents will be reduced. Read more

This bill is absolute bullshit. Removing bike lines will only increase traffic and all the evidence shows it. So tired of this government showing absolute disregard for the safety and needs of ontarians.

Bike lanes on Bloor west of Jane are a bad idea and should be removed. They exist solely for the PLEASURE of cyclists and serve no other purpose. There is an emission free subway a few feet below them if they wish to make an emission free transit of Bloor, or if they do not have access to a car. Read more

Myself and my group of friends strongly oppose this bill 212. Provide more dedicated bike lanes and transit options to reduce gridlock. This bill will ensure gridlock on streets with no good alternative modes of transportation. We will not vote for the conservatives if this bill passes. Read more

This bill is absolutely insane! It flies in the face of the global trend to decarbonize the atmosphere and mitigate climate disasters. More cars moving faster where they want to go=more cars on the road. It’s that simple Cyclists will not be the only casualties - we all will be. Read more

The bike lanes are an integral part of urban planning, they encourage alternate modes of transportation and actually relieve traffic and prevent accidents for those not in a car- a larger demographic in a metropolitan city. Read more

I have not ridden a bike since I was 12 years old. I am a driver. I feel so much safer on roads with dedicated bike lanes. In roads that do not have them, cyclists drive into traffic lanes. Please do not remove the bike lanes. If anything, I would like to see more.

Will not improve traffic but is sure to force bikes to share lanes with cars, slowing everyone down and risking collisions. Shameful to be discouraging bike riding and bike commuting when it benefits our city by reducing the number of cars on the road and carbon emissions

The Province of Ontario should not have jurisdiction to decide whether and where the City of Toronto ca n have bike lanes. It is a gross overreach of power, at the Sour Grape Premierès whim. *See Science Centre Overreach to help Ford Buddies get rich. Read more

I ride my bike for the majority of my errands, to commute to work, and for social outings. My community installed separated bike lanes, which have been a major game changer for me, especially as they are maintained in winter. This enables me to ride more than I ever did before. Read more

Living in a rural municipality, it doesn't make sense why we would need to go through the extra effort to have Toronto approve our bike lanes. If the idea is to improve traffic flow, we should be moving bikes to bike lanes not into roads. Read more
