I love bike lanes. I rely on them to get around, as I have a disability and can’t drive a car. I’m sad Doug Ford wants to take away the lanes from the places I need them, because I won’t be able to get to work safely anymore.

Please take the time to consider not to remove the bike lanes in Toronto along Bloor, Yonge, and Univeristy. This is a ridiculous waste of time and money. This will not reduce traffic as it only encourages vehicular transportation. It only makes it more unsafe and more cyclists will DIE. Read more

The bike lines on Bloor St through the Kingsway area from Kipling to Jane St should be removed. The traffic through there is all backed up. I see maybe one bike a week in the bike lanes. Emergency vehicles will never get through as there is no place for the cars to pull over. Read more

Not sure why Ontario government is hell bent on removing bike lanes. Bike lanes gives an easy and safe opportunity to travel within the city. It encourages safe driving and parents and their kids can actually enjoy this activity and builds community. Read more

The Ontario government's latest proposal to hinder the implementation of new bike lanes is a glaring testament to the corruption and ineptitude that have become hallmarks of Doug Ford's administration. Read more

This legislation will kill people. Bike lanes are proven to improve road safety and reduce congestion. I use bike lanes to get to work and safely return home to my wife and kids. Should I use my car instead? Would that help with congestion? Read more

Bike lane is NOT the cause of congestion, the lack of public transit infrastructure is. Bike lane reduces the number of car on the street so for those who doesn't have a choice but to commute by car, bike lanes (and other forms of public transit) benefits them too. Read more

I strongly feel that this newly proposed part of the Traffic Act - which allows the provincial Ministry of Transportation to be informed before municipalities may construct bicycle lanes in certain circumstances, and to require municipalities to provide the Ministry Read more

I am a cyclist who commuted on Toronto roads before the bike lanes were added to Bloor. I had numerous friends hit by drivers opening their doors, drivers pulling over without looking, etc. and I narrowly avoided a few accidents myself. I am also someone who owns a car and drives in the city. Read more

Why exactly is the so-called party of fiscal responsibility so obsessed with wasting as much of the taxpayers' money as humanly possible on stupid, counter-productive nonsense? Read more

I do not think the province needs to regulate bike lanes being installed. The policy being proposed does not provide sufficient evidence or mechanism for bike lanes and car congestion.

I live and work in downtown Toronto. As a frequent road user by driving, cycling, and walking, I strongly oppose this proposed legislation as an unnecessary and harmful overreach of provincial authority into municipal matters. Read more
