Prabmeet Sarkarian, do everyone a favour and watch CBC's expose on driving schools and MELT certification schools. Focus on stomping out corruption! If you get dangerous and inexperienced drivers off the road, the roads will be safer, and there will be less congestion.

Less people on bikes means more people relying on cars and therefore more traffic. Ontario continues to take steps backwards while other major cities like Montreal and Edmonton move forward. Ontario is a car dependent hellscape right now. Let's not make it worse.
Bike lanes help reduce traffic by encouraging more people to take alternative modes of transportation that isn’t a personal vehicle. Removing the lanes just increases safety risks to cyclists and does not promote a culture of alternative transit.

Bike lanes are critical infrastructure necessary to allow Torontonians to commute daily without contributing to the car traffic jams. Removing bike lanes would put more cars on the same road, increasing congestion. Additional car lanes have repeatedly shown not to improve traffic times long term.

I’m commenting to express my distress at this bill. What evidence I’ve seen points to it being a counterproductive idea.
I don’t understand why yet another bad decision is being forced on Toronto like this.

I use bike lanes in my city, Hamilton every day. I use them to get to work, to bring my kid to and from school, to run errands, and to get around the city. I use the bike lanes in Toronto several times a month to visit family, shop, go to events, and get around the city.

Can the minister provide evidence that shows how bike lanes add to congestion? How are you making huge decisions that will put lives at risk without evidence?

I LOVE this bill! I think it's a great way to get Ontario moving again. I hope other provinces follow suit and we get Ontario roads better for vehicles again.
Horrible example of political overreach. There are more important things to do. There's a huge uptick in accidents and reckless driving. Try fixing this issue.
This is a ridiculous idea. Bike lanes are not why there is traffic. Anyone who is on a bike is not in a car - if you want less traffic, you need less cars on the roads.

"Implications to the environment will be considered as the ministry identifies and develops the criteria for evaluating proposed new cycling lanes." But you're going to ignore implications to the environment to build HWY 413.
What if we tell you people will get their alcohol faster by using the bike lane, will that help??? It seems Ford only cares about alcohol and nothing else.
MTO Policy folks, are you ok? Do you enjoy not doing your jobs or having a minister who doesn't read your briefs? You all swore an oath to help fellow Ontarians, how is this legislation helping Ontarians? Shame on you all.
Buy back the 407 and congestion will be reduced. Have all truckers who received their license in the past 2 years complete a theory and road test. Having trucks in the left lane doesn't help with congestion!
