As an Ontarians I think it's ridiculous the province thinks it needs to have authority over municipal bike lane decisions and that portion of the proposal needs to be removed.

Drivers are not the most important people. If we invest in other methods of transportation like the TTC, making cities more pedestrian friendly, adding bike lanes, all such things would reduce the amount of people who rely on cars as their main form of transportation. Read more

This is a horrible idea. Bike lanes have been shown to reduce traffic congestion. By removing bike lanes, you are forcing cylicst to share the road with motor vehicles, therefore slowing down traffic for everyone while endangering the lives of cyclists.

If the government is concerned with moving the most amount of people (aka reducing gridlock) this should not be a concern. The main “benefit” of eliminating bike lanes is to provide additional vehicle lanes. Yet that benefits such a small population of people. Read more

Removing bike lanes will not improve gridlock, it’s a waste of tax payers money to remove infrastructure that’s already in place that will help reduce traffic by keeping more people out of cars and increases the danger to them. Read more

Even considering this is completely regressive, and flies against its own stated purpose. You can ease congestion by making it safer to use other modes of transportation that take up significantly less road space than single occupancy vehicles. Read more

Removing bike lanes in Toronto is a short-sighted approach that fails to address the city’s real transportation challenges. As someone who commutes daily by bike, I can attest to the vital role these lanes play in ensuring safety. Read more

I strongly oppose this proposed bill to remove bicycle lanes. I dont see any data that supports the theory that bicycle lanes cause traffic. There is data to prove that better public transit reduces traffic congestion. Can we focus on the real solution instead of this bill? Read more

Do not remove bike lanes. Bike lanes reduce gridlock and create a safe space for cyclists of all ages. My five year old shouldn't need to ride a bike on the street when a driver can't see them. When I'm driving a car, I don't to share the lane with a bicycle. Give them separate lanes. Read more

This is not for the province to decide. Unfortunately with our current premier, decisions like this made for Toronto by the provincial government have created huge issues in the city. I can't imagine a situation where this would benefit anybody but certain commercial interests. Read more

This is a highway infrastructure act, it doesn't need to include provincial control of bike lanes in Toronto. Locally we need to be investing in infrastructure that incentivizes and promotes alternative transportation methods like cycling. Read more

Terrible bill. As somebody who uses bike lanes several times a week, we need to add more not restrict them. Where is the minister of red tape reduction when you need them? Read more

This bill is preposterous, we can't have the province deciding on bike lanes in the city. I'm both an avid driver and a cyclist in Toronto, the bike lanes have been a Godsend to me getting around faster, more affordably, and it has had substantial improvements to my physical and mental health.

This proposal is an act of provincial overreach, directly in contradiction to efforts made by the Toronto municipality to improve traffic conditions and support alternative transportation methods. Read more

The proposal to remove bike lane infrastructure from the major downtown Toronto arteries of Bloor, Yonge and University is a step backwards that is totally nonsensical. Read more
