I am in favour of the removal of the bike lanes on Bloor st. for the following reasons.
1. Emergency vehicles are not able to pass cars and are stuck in gridlock delaying them in emergence .

I do not think the provincial government should be involved with the removal of bike lanes in Toronto. I am an avid cyclist and I feel much safer travelling on a bike lane, especially a lane in which there is a barrier between the car lane and bike lane.

I bike to work every day of the week. I am proud to live in a city that has been steadily improving its biking infrastructure year over over and, in doing so, truly showing a commitment to sustainability and addressing climate change. When I bike on Bloor, I feel safe and free.

I am strongly against removing the bike lanes because:
(1) I do not agree that bike lanes are the reason of traffic gridlocks
(2) I do not agree that removing bike lanes can solve the gridlocks

Environmentally, ethically and economically this would be disastrous.
- Encouraging more car traffic increases gas emissions
- Forcing those who cannot afford a vehicle and those simply choose to cycle out of this option is ridiculous

I am surprised that Bill 212 has become such a priority for the Premier. There are various reasons I oppose this bill and they are listed below:

Comments on Bill 212 - Reducing Gridlock, Saving Your Time Act, 2024
(Please replace this version with a previous version I submitted earlier this evening. I noticed some typos and some omissions. This version reads better and more clearly represents my views and concerns. Thanks.)

This bill proposes provincial approval for bike lanes that remove traffic lanes on municipal roads, adding unnecessary red tape to the process. Bike lane projects already take years to implement, with plans reviewed by traffic engineers and local councils, making provincial oversight redundant.

Bloor St has become a nightmare for neighbors and business owners. I am a cyclist but the current set up with bike lanes isn’t safe for anyone and it’s ruined the streetscape.

Get rid of the bike lanes! No one uses them in Etobicoke. We Etobicoke residents don't want bike lanes in Etobicoke or Bloor West. Bikes already have Dupont just 3 blocks north and Toronto's own study says that the increased riders on Bloor are basically just riders from Dupont/Harbord.

The work done so far has been great— not perfect, but way ahead of what we had just a decade ago. Our streets are safer for everyone, and our neighbourhoods are more vibrant and pleasant than ever.

I've living in the Boor & Lansdowne neighbourhood for almost 19 years now. The Bloor bike path is ONE OF THE BEST THINGS that has happened to this part of the city in that time! It surely connect the city for this of us who want to contribute to a greener city by biking year round.

It is more important than ever to keep and strengthen environmental restrictions for so called development in the Green Belt. There must be no new highways through the Holland Marsh which is unparalled in Canada, even North America for the variety and quantity of food that is being produced.

Against bill 212. Removing bike lane won’t reduce gridlock.
The city needs less cars and a more reliable public transit. That’s what will reduce gridlock.
No parking on the street should help
Don’t remove the bike lanes, stop wasting the tax payers money
I live in Toronto, commute primarily by bicycle, and use the bike lanes the province is proposing to remove frequently. They are an important part of the city's cycling infrastructure and allow cyclists to get where they need to go safely.

Since the installation of the bike lanes on Bloor West that are used by very few cyclists there is vehicular traffic congestion that is causing increased health risk with the amount of co2 being pumped out by idling cars that are unable to move.

I do not support this bill. There is no evidence that removing bike lanes improves gridlock. It encourages more cars, less carbon neutral transit & decreases safety for those cycling.
