I was born and raised in rural Ontario, where cars are a necessity of life because of long distances and a lack of alternatives. I've since lived in Switzerland, where you can travel the entire country (even to far-flung mountain villages) by transit and bike.

I am an avid cyclist who owns properties both in and outside of the city. My recommendation is based on both driving and cycling throughout Toronto.

Please do not remove bike lanes. Bike lanes are essential in this city and keep bike commuters safe. Bike commuters are taking an economical and active mode of transportation and should be well accommodated with bike lanes, they should be able to bike safely.

Stop destroying existing infrastructure! You're going to make the problem worse all while wasting our tax payer money. Study after study has shown that increasing car lanes does not reduce congestion and in fact contributes to it.

I urge the provincial government to not remove any bike lanes from the road. These bike lanes *improve* congestion by taking cars off the road.
I am especially concerned about claims that the government will remove sections of the bike lanes along Bloor St, Younge St, and University Ave.

Bike lanes fight climate change. They reduce pollution; they are literally a net zero way to get around. Removing bike lanes will put cyclists who came out of their cars thanks to safe bike lanes, back into cars.

I drive and ride. This won’t fix anything. Delivery drivers will park in the right lane and it will go back to one lane and more congestion because people don’t know how to merge. I will take my right as a cyclist to my entailed entire lane.
As a resident of Toronto, University Rosedale area I vehemently oppose the construction of this highway. Plenty of research and experiences of other large urban areas have shown that building more highways does not reduce traffic but instead leads to more vehicles and more demand.

I find this bill a rediculous waste of time and government resources. The provincial government shouldn't be adding red tape and bureaucracy to slow down local governance trying increase transportation options.

Wasting taxpayer money on removing existing bike infrastructure that saves lives and allows people to more freely move through the city is such a backwards step. The province should not be interfering in the municipality like this, and it's ridiculous this is even being considered.

Bike lanes are good for business
They’re good for the environment
They’re good for public and personal health
They give us freedom and mobility
Bike lanes save lives
Stay in your lane.
Stop creating a class war

I am very concerned about bill 212 as both a former citizen of Toronto and for my new city of Stratford, where I have lived for the past 4 years.

As a suburban resident of Ottawa, and as someone who's lived both urban and rurally in Ottawa, and other cities in Canada and internationally; I have an in-depth understanding of what it means to navigate throughout the city (and the frustrations of lengthy and/or inefficient commutes).

This is the dumbest idea in the world. Bike lanes are shown to reduce gridlock and help the environment. MPP’s who support this bill need to give their brains a skylight.
