Thank you for the opportunity to comment. I do not support this bill, and I think it would result in more traffic in our cities, increases in fatal accidents for cyclists, pedestrians and all the other modes of transportation that use bike lanes (e.g. scooters), including people in wheelchairs.

Bike lanes are an important part of road infrastructure and I do NOT support the government’s plan to remove them. As a motorist in Toronto near Bloor West, I feel safer driving on roads where bikes are in protected lanes. Read more

Bike lanes have ruined the joy of going out for seniors and disabled people. It is impossible to park and if you find a parking lot you have to usually have to walk a long distance - difficult for elderly and disabled. Read more

All the cars parked on the street block the flow of traffic far more than bike lanes. On streets without bike lanes cyclists just bike in that space next to parked cars which is essentially the same as a bike lane but less safe. Read more

The bike lanes have had a negative impact on our neighborhood. We live just off Yonge Street north of Bloor. Emergency vehicles cannot travel in good time due to traffic congestion. There is greater air and noise pollution due to traffic constantly jammed. Read more

I am an avid cyclist who survived an accident 16 years ago while riding on a main road without designated bike lanes. Removing bike lanes on Bloor Street, Yonge Street, and University Avenue would erase intentional infrastructure that has made Toronto streets safer for cyclists. Read more

The bike lanes are badly imagined and implemented, they cause more gridlock, increased travel times, more idling and air pollution, more cars on side streets trying to find a faster route, and very unsafe for emergency vehicles. Read more

I strongly support the removal of bike lanes on Bloor Street, Yonge Street, and University Avenue as outlined in Bill 212. These corridors are critical for high volumes of vehicular traffic, including transit vehicles, emergency services, and goods transportation. Read more

My and many of my colleagues bike to work every day for about 10 months of the year. With the bike lanes gone, we will likely all switch to driving for our safety. Adding thousands of cars to the morning commute will not reduce traffic.

Excessive and poorly planned bike lanes, that remove a vehicular lane on busy roads; have created excessive congestion and slow traffic. Travelling on Avenue Road has become frustrating and slow. The lanes are used by 1% of commuters, and during nice weather. Read more

Despite the name of the recent Bill 212 – “Reducing Gridlock, Saving You Time Act”, there is disappointingly little in it that will actually contribute to relieving congestion. Read more

I am completely against taking away bike lanes. First of all, bike lanes should be a municipal issue, not something decided by the provincial government. Each municipality knows their roads best and bike lanes best and they should be the ones deciding whether a bike lane should be built or not. Read more

The danger that the bike lanes have created on Bloor between Prince Edward and Royal York is alarming. Turning right from a side street is an obstacle course. With the beautiful centre medium planters, emergency vehicles can’t get through. Read more

Bike lanes are a crucial part of our city’s infrastructure. They help alleviate traffic as people will feel safer using bicycles to commute. They also support a healthy method of transportation, for both our residents and the environment. Read more
