This isn’t a blame game on #to_cycling_ped, this is clearly a full showing of the lack of any #PoliticalWill to place the movement of vulnerable road users ahead of cars. Maybe we need to tag @mayoroliviachow.ca Someone is going to get hurt or killed soon.

The City is working to make travel by bike safer and more inviting, which helps ease congestion on streets and transit, creates a cleaner environment, and promotes physical activity. The City supports cycling by building and maintaining infrastructure such as bike lanes and multi-use trails, installing bike parking facilities, distributing bike network maps, and carrying out other campaigns and projects to promote cycling confidence and safe road use behaviour. Growing, expanding and enhancing the cycling network also contributes to the City’s Vision Zero Road Safety goals, by providing a safe and dedicated space for people cycling, and thus protecting vulnerable road users. See the 2023 Toronto Cycling Year in Review PDF for a summary of new and upgraded bikeways in 2023, bike parking and Bike Share Toronto statistics, and an overview of recent cycling upgrades and renewal projects throughout the city.

REPORT FOR ACTION WITH CONFIDENTIAL ATTACHMENT Respecting Local Democracy and Cities - Supplemental Report: Impact of Bill 212 Bike Lanes Framework Date: November 13, 2024 To: City Council From: City Manager Wards: All REASON FOR CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION Attachment 1 to this report contains information which has not yet been published, but which was explicitly supplied in confidence to the City of Toronto as a partner municipality in the Transportation Tomorrow Survey 2022 (TTS). The TTS is conducted by a consultant retained by the Ministry of Transportation (MTO) of Ontario as part of a cooperative effort by local and provincial government agencies to collect information about urban travel in southern Ontario. The TTS will be made public by the MTO at a yet to be determined date. SUMMARY On October 21, 2024, the Honourable Prabmeet Sarkaria, Minister of Transportation, introduced Bill 212, Reducing Gridlock, Saving You Time Act, 2024 in the Ontario Legislature. Bill 212 is an omnibus bill that would introduce and amend several pieces of legislation. This report focuses on Schedule 4: Amendments to the Highway Traffic Act (HTA), specifically as they relate to the province's proposed Bike Lane Framework. Within this framework: • Municipalities would be required to seek Provincial approval to allow for new bike lane construction where the design for the bicycle lane would reduce the number of marked lanes available for travel by motor vehicle traffic. • Municipalities would be required to submit information to the Ministry about existing bicycle lanes, where the addition of the existing bicycle lane reduced the number of marked lanes for motor vehicle travel. Municipalities would be compelled to collect and provide information about existing bike lanes on a set / periodic basis.
