I do not support this…

I do not support this legislation whatsoever. The legislation is provincial overreach and makes no sense at all.

Lives will be lost if the province removes these bike lanes. People ARE NOT GOING TO STOP BIKING ALONG THESE STREETS even if the bike lanes are removed! Bike lanes ALSO keep drivers safe.

The bike lanes are all used for a majority of the year and are extremely popular. In some of these areas, there are more cyclists than drivers. Your “facts” do not support what is actually happening in the City.

We are in a climate crisis and we need to get cars off the road. We are also trying to build a sustainable city - removing bike lanes and requiring more approvals for bike lanes is counter intuitive to climate action and degrading world class city building that we are all trying to achieve.

I do not support my tax dollars to be used to remove bike lanes (that support sustainable cities, fight climate change, keep people safe, and allow faster mobility throughout Toronto) for no justifiable reason.

Every single professional in the transportation, environmental, engineering, etc industry has come out to not support this. There is no science or study to support this. The public does not support this and this is not in the public interest.
