This proposed bill is truthfully a farce in modern times. First, we know from years of scientific studies that a new highway will not improve traffic due in induced demand, which is NOT a "red herring".

Bike lanes do not delay emergency service vehicles
Bike lanes do not increase congestion, vehicles do: https://www.tvo.org/article/debunking-three-big-myths-about-bike-lanes https://www.theguardian.com/environment/bike-blog/2019/jul/03/ten-common-myths-about-bike-lanes-and-why-theyre-wrong

This is a disastrous decision by the OPC and Doug Ford. The notion that our Premiere is making the active, and uneducated, decision to make everyday commuting in Ontario more difficult and restrictive and unsafe is appalling and truly baffling to try and make sense of.

I am an avid cyclist in the city of Toronto and have been for 5 years since moving to this city. Cycling in my day to day routine, whether it be for running errands, my commute to my office, or purely for leisure, has improved my experience in this city ten fold.

Bike lanes safe lifes.
As a Canadian citizen I have right for safe way of transportation , going to work, school , visiting friends,shopping or going to the restaurants. Walking, riding a bicycle or driving a car should be a few and safe choice for everyone!!

I am concerned about this proposal. I would like to see a focus on improved public transportation - trains, buses, car share, bike lanes - over fast tracking the building of highways.

Removing bike lanes is not the solution. Opening the LRT and fixing the problem at Metrolinx will be a much faster fix and more economical given the billions of dollars already spent.

Building more highways and digging tunnels under the 401will only bring more vehicular traffic. It won’t reduce gridlock. The money could be better spent on rapid transit instead. Reduce the tolls for trucks on the 407 to encourage them to drive there instead of the 401.

Destroying a large section of the Oak Ridges Moraine, increasing animal accidents on the road, all to save about five minutes of driving on the 407. A much better idea would be to invest in GO Transit, and the synchronize the TTC with other transit services.

please please please! The residents of toronto are begging to not remove bike lanes.
As a resident that regularly drives throughout the city daily, driving is much safer with the many cyclists designated to the bike lanes.
Please continue to invest in transit. Invest in safety.
We need MORE bike lanes. Cyclists do not feel safe on the roads even with bike lanes installed. Drivers do not pay attention when driving and constantly swerve onto the unprotected bike lane.

Terrible Bill. We don’t need more roads. If anything we need a good rail system to connect everyone.
If you take away bike lanes, it just makes it unsafe for bikes, we aren’t going anywhere. We’ll just bike in the middle of the road instead of the side.
PLEASE DO NOT pass this terrible Bill
I think this bill is an egregious provincial government over reach and will significantly impact my day to day life in a negative fashion. It will only work to increase traffic on many roads by pushing cyclists into cars. If this bill goes on I will definitely not be voting conservative.

I am a vulnerable road user and I deserve to get home safely. My life has value, I have value. As Doug Ford refuses to use facts to support his bills, I'm going to do you all a favour and give you the facts below.

This is a terribly short sited bill that will only make congestion worse. The impact of induced demand and it's inverse effect on congestion is well researched across hundreds of metropolitan areas like Toronto.

In 1977, the Barton-Aschman report to the City of Toronto's Bikeway Technical Advisory Committee recommended that Bloor St not be considered as a cycling corridor.

The Hwy 413 project cuts through at least 3 conservation areas and absolutely should not be exempted from an environmental impact study. These are lands that we will never get back.

The constant need to build the 413 highway is troubling. Is the government blind to all of the problems involved with its construction and with the impacts that it will have with urban sprawl? The gain is not worth it.

Have any of you looked at how cities in Europe have thrived without cars. The answers to our problems are right in front of your face and you just refuse to see them. When has a highway ever alleviated congestion or gridlock.
