I’m a driver and agree that I would like our highways to be safe, convenient and expedient. But I think the best way to get that is to actually build high speed rail and better public transit so that I actually have other better options that helps me actually save on gas and car maintenance.
"Ontario is looking to fight gridlock and get drivers where they need to go faster". Why drivers and not
simply people? Are my transportation needs less important simply because I'm choosing a bicycle over my car for as many of them as I can?

This Bill proposal is awful for the environment. I’m a student at Fleming College and I’ve learned the importance of habitat destruction on the ecosystem and animals.

As a lifelong resident of the province of Ontario , and a reasonable person, the notion that removing bike lanes will do anything except cause undue harm to cyclists is an absolutely insane thing to believe, let alone draft a bill to make policy around.

As the rest of the world commits to enhancing multi-modal transportation solutions, Ontario appears to be actively driving backwards, literally and figuratively.

This is blatant overreach and is nothing but an attempt at pandering to conservative car-centric wealthy families to secure more votes this government don’t deserve. Doug is working to tear down the working class’s access to proper transit infrastructure.

This is a horrible use of the money I pay towards my taxes. The Ford government is quick to ignore environmental regulations all so he and his party can make an extra buck.

As a common driver in the city I support bike lanes. Bike lanes actually make my commute better. They Reduce car traffic and provide safety for cyclists but also provide a safer driving experience.

I don’t believe getting rid of bike lanes will help Toronto meet its green initiative. Additionally shutting down bike lanes is will make commuting more dangerous for thousands of commuters. Even with the extra safety of bike lanes, I am already regularly nearly struck by traffic.

In what world will removing bike lanes help the traffic problems here? That means more people will be driving on the road. A tiny bit more space does not mean two more lanes either, this is a waste of time. Don’t you want people to be healthy and reduce carbon emissions?

Car centric infrastructure does NOT solve traffic. Ask any non corrupted expert.
Ontario’s city infrastructure needs to focus on public transit, bike infrastructure and pedestrian infrastructure.
LEAVE THE TORONTO BIKE LANES ALONE.
This is a misguided and financially wasteful decision. When things like housing and the constant construction regarding both the Ontario line and the LRT are happening at the same time and need to be done as soon as possible.

As someone who regularly drives and has access to a car, I get really anxious when sharing the road with cyclists if there is no bike lanes. I think it is unwise to remove them especially in a city like Toronto.

This is a ridiculous idea. Bike lanes are not the issue. Street parking however, on major streets are the ones eating up space and causing congestion but no one would point that out cause it creates revenue. Bike lanes make people safe. But money over safety I guess.

The decision to remove bike lanes not only puts this city I love, my home, back a decade of progress but will put the lives of riders who rely on this means of transportation at significant risk.

Please do not tear up the bike lanes. Cities are not just for cars. More cyclists will die when they're forced to be right next to the cars and also when you get rid of the bike lanes you're just going to force cars to wait behind cyclists.
I, like many people in this province, am a motorist, pedestrian and cyclist at various times. Bicycle lanes in my community have improved accessibility and safety for myself and my family.

As a driver, it is much safer when there are dedicated bike lanes. It does not add more time to the commute and that could be better resolved with better transit infrastructure to keep cars off the road.
