I’m in favour of bill 312 and the removal of bike lanes on Bloor St W. traffic is horrendous and I see very few bikes using the lane. It is negatively impact businesses and residents alike.
• Removing bike lanes will endanger lives as cycling as a viable mode of transportation gains more traction and popularity especially with the accessibility of e-bikes now.

If you care about the environment as it relates to gridlock. If you care about those who have to or choose to drive. If you care about people’s mental health. If you care about having emergency responders getting to emergencies as quickly and safely as possible.

I applaud those who bike to work and those who bike for fitness and pleasure. Biking is a sustainable approach to getting around congested roads in an ever growing city. How amazing to get to one's destination while getting fit and enjoying nature at the same time!

Hello, I am writing to support keeping bike lanes. I commute everyday to work on bike except when there is snow and ice. The bike lanes are an important mode of transportation that other cities have learned are central to keeping bicyclists safe while reducing car traffic.

You are putting the life of my husband and child at risk, for nothing.
They commute by bicycle daily and if they die, which you are actively increasing the risk of, their blood will be on your hands.
Shameful!

The attached photo was taken in front New Horizons Tower, a Senior Citizens residence on Bloor Street at Dufferin. As one can see, the bike lane is very dangerous for senior citizens and she was almost hit getting our of the cab. Please remove the bike lanes away from the front of our home.

I strongly disapprove of this proposal. Municipalities should be able to continue building bike lanes and infrastructure without additional provincial approval as they can now. It makes no sense to introduce additional red tape to a process that already typically takes years.

This provincial government purports to be pro “small government, low intervention” as well as the government that fights for the “little guy” and the government that “puts money back in your pocket”.

Bill 212 is an overreach of the scope of office of the premier. It's focusing far too much on municipal issues and ultimately regressive and counter to science in how it seeks to achieve its titular purpose.

I believe this bill is a sham. The thought of burning more money of taxpayers are already struggling to make ends meet for no real reason other than to help line the pockets of those who don’t need more is beyond deplorable. Limiting judicial oversight is against the needs of the people.

I would like to thank the provincial government for their leadership on this issue. The bike lanes in the city of Toronto have been implemented without proper community consultation -- meetings were held however no meaningful listening took place.

An evidence-based approach should be employed to address congestion problems. This proposal completely misses the mark for what is needed to improve traffic flow. The only proven solution to traffic congestion is introducing viable alternatives to driving.

This bill would cause active harm to myself and other cyclists who use these bike lanes on a daily basis to commute safely around the city. This bill is NOT backed by data. There is no data suggesting that bike lanes increase car congestion. Cars cause the congestion.

I am writing to share my opposition to Bill 212 that, if passed, would require municipalities to secure provincial approval for any new bike lanes that would take space away from motor vehicles.

Bike lanes are essential to traversing Toronto safely and efficiently for all kinds of residents. Many cyclists cannot afford cars and/or do not feel safe or supported within the current public transit infrastructures.
