I work as a physician at the Toronto General Hospital, and live in the High Park neighbourhood since 1999. I drive sometimes and ride my bike sometimes. This Bill is a step in the wrong direction. Read more

Hi I know that the government definitely doesn't care about these comments but as someone who grew up in Toronto in the Highpark Area I have always biked 3-4 times a week and the only reason for that was the bike lanes on Runnymede and Annette. Read more

I'm not sure how removing bike lanes will help with traffic. These cyclists will either drive and make traffic worse or be on the road where they might get hit and slow down traffic. I'm all for saving time but this is the exact opposite of that. Read more

It’s absolutely ridiculous that this “bill” is even being considered. As someone who would be heavily affected by this change as would countless others that live in the city, I am absolutely appalled that we would go back to such a time where safety for the majority would be put at risk once again.

I wish to say that I beleive Bill 212 should not go ahead as it would actively cost money to remove the existing networks on Yonge, Bloor and University which would unduly cost taxpayers. Read more

This reckless proposal to eliminate bike lanes in Toronto will not only waste taxpayer’s money, but it will endanger cyclists’ lives. I am a cyclist, pedestrian, and I own and drive a car. Read more

Six cyclists were killed in Toronto this year. Does the premier and his government want this number to rise so he can save a couple of minutes on his commute to Queen’s Park? The bike lanes on Bloor, Yonge, and University are essential parts of Toronto's cycling network. Read more

This bill cannot be allowed to pass. The proposals for removing our most important bike lanes on Bloor, Yonge Street, and University Ave represent an atrocious waste of public funds, will add more traffic to Toronto’s core, and cost lives. Read more

This bill does not reflect a common sense approach to congestion in Ontario. The only solution to traffic is making sure people have solid alternatives to driving. Transit is one way to reduce traffic, but so are bike lanes. Read more

I am a user of all the bike lanes. If the lanes are removed, I would drive and unfortunately add to the gridlock. I am also a user of public transit and have lived in Toronto for over 30 years. The TTC remains archaic. The basic subway system within Toronto has not changed in 60 years. Read more

Removing the bike lines is putting bikers and pedestrians at more risk. Our planet is dying and removing active transportation helps nothing but reduces safety for those who care about reducing their impact. Put money into better transportation and leave the bike lanes alone

This bill is a setback to the bike infrastructure and does not take into account the urban planning of the city like Toronto. Me and my family would definitely bike more, including those streets that are mentioned in the bill, if there was a reasonably safe and adequate infrastructure for cyclists. Read more
