Everyone is safer with the bike lanes in place. We need to continue to make accessible infrastructure for pedestrians, bikers, and also improve our public transit system. Let's not move in the opposite direction in favour of drivers only.

As a community advocate and urban planning Master’s candidate, I highly urge the provincial government to withdraw the proposed amendments to §195.2 of the Highway Traffic Act and Schedules 2 and 3 of Bill 212 enacting the Build More Highways Faster Act and the Highway 413 Act.

Please dont remove the bikelanes, me and all my friends and family utilize them heavily for our commuting to and from work, to and from events. As we contribute to the economy and contribute to the workforce, the bikelanes are out vehicle.

Bike lanes should be protected as they are a net benefit to commuters and small businesses alike. I live at Bloor and Manning and the amount of cyclists I see at all hours of the day gives me hope that we will have a push towards more walkable cities.

I want to register my strong opposition to this bill. It represents a gross encroachment of the province on the city's management of its own business.

This notice failed to include a statistical basis to support its claims or help the public understand the predicted environmental impact. We know bike lanes generally reduce car usage and emissions.

There are many environmental sustainability reasons to oppose the passing of Bill 212. Since the Ford government has shown very limited concern for the environment since assuming office it is not pertinent to mention them in this submission.

Your proposal doesn't take into account that increasing traffic lanes has been proven by various cities worldwide to only increase TRAFFIC!
Please review your data and only when you present real data could you propose something that might make sense!

I oppose the proposals related to bike lanes in Bill 212, Reducing Gridlock, Saving You Time Act, 2024, and stated my reasons in a previous comment.

Let's cut to the chase.
I am not going to tell you what a genuinely terrible idea removing safe bike lanes would be, because others have likely already told you.

Removing bike lanes will not improve the gridlock in GTA.
It’s been a festering problem for thirty years along with a backsliding of public transit unable to function
efficiently.

I strongly disagree. Bike lanes save lives. Bloor and college lanes in particular have made my life much better, and keep an additional car off the road every morning.
It seems pretty obvious that expanding car access in congested mega-city centers isn't a super intelligent solution to traffic. Cars are literally what cause traffic. Having more people on bikes, using public transportation means fewer cars on the roads for those that wish to use cars.
