1. The province should not be interfering with the city of Toronto’s decisions on how to manage traffic especially when considering Toronto spent their budget to construct the lanes. The city of Toronto’s planning and budget is also spent on alternatives to cycling - including transit. Should the province interfere and make it more difficult for people to get around the city (via bike) there should be funding for transit as well.

2. More cars create more traffic. Single occupancy vehicles are the root of the cause of traffic. More people should be using more efficient ways to safely get around the city. This is via transit and cycling.

3. Cycling is very dangerous in the city. The bike lanes (when cars and companies do not block them) help ensure safety of cyclists.

4. If you are worried about more lanes - specifically on Bloor - another suggestion would be to remove street parking on this stretch of road. Lots of side streets, green P.

5. Stop spending tax payer money redundantly and inefficiently. The province should focus on healthcare and education resources. I am fairly certain the people of Ottawa do not care about the bike lanes on Bloor but would benefit from access to a family doctor.
