This bill is goes entirely in the wrong policy direction and will negatively impact the lives of Ontario residents. Removing bike lanes from popular Toronto cycling routes is a shameful and disgraceful act that will reduce the safety of all vulnerable road users (pedestrians, cyclists, and others). Read more

As traffic engineers have long known and American cities periodically rediscover at their great expense, increasing road space to any feasible degree doesn't reduce congestion. Read more

Hi there, I have lived in this city my whole life, and have lived in an apartment building near Bloor for the last 18 years (I am 10 minutes away by foot, so I am very close). Read more

The quicker you remove bike lanes from major roads the better. Bloor street West has become a nightmare, whereby cyclists do not obey the rules of the road. I’ve almost been knocked down twice as they do not stop for pedestrians. Read more

I believe that the question of bike lanes is a rather simple one provided the community approaches the issue with the right attitude. Unfortunately, we seem to live in a world where the sense of community has been lost.Self-interest seems to prevail over any sense of comity. Read more

This bill is completely backwards in priorities and will never achieve its states goals. More lanes do not reduce traffic. You reduce traffic by building alternative options: transit and active mobility. Read more

I'm writing from Peterborough, where just yesterday (Nov 19th) a woman was airlifted to Toronto after being hit by a car while crossing Lansdowne St. This happened just a few meters away from my friend's kids' school bus stop. She doesn't know yet if the woman was a neighbour. Read more

The bike lanes on Bloor west of Runnymede are a disaster, causing daily gridlock and when the subway shuts down it does t move for blocks. There are very very few cyclists even during the clement months, none in the winter. Read more

My son rides to school everyday on the Bloor Street bicycle lanes. This bills allows for the removal of those lanes and will drastically reduce the level of safety for him. What consideration has been given to the potential for harm to our children?

I strongly support Bill 212 and strongly support the removal of the bike lanes on Bloor Street West. They are a waste of the City of Toronto's tax money and have resulted in a much more dangerous situation for seniors. I live in an apartment looking down on Bloor Street West. Read more

This bill is extremely short-sighted. And so obviously transparent. We see you for what you are and what you are doing, Doug. It goes without saying that I stand against Bill 212. Read more

The bill to get rid of bike lanes and institute provincial oversight of them for the future is a complete overreach by the province and creates a whole new set of problems for the city. Firstly, this is a MUNICIPAL issue. Read more

I am a staff member at the University of Toronto who uses or walks alongside the bike lanes on Bloor and University every day. I am firmly opposed to the removal of bike lanes. Read more
