Keep the bike lanes! Removing bike lanes is a waste of taxpayer money and only serves to pander for votes. Removing bike lanes makes the roads unsafe for *all* road users. Keep the bike lanes.

No bike lanes means bikes are in the same lane as cars, and increases traffic. Bike lines need to exist to provide commuters multiple options to get to and from work. Biking is healthy and good for the planet.

I think this is a step backwards in today’s society. Instead of creating division between bike lanes and cars there should be a promotion of bikes or bikers equals less cars equals less traffic. A healthy active lifestyle is one that the government should be promoting

I don’t know the value of leaving a comment here, because the premier said that there is already a done deal on this and so consultation won’t matter, but I just wanted to add my voice to any that have strong concerns about removing bike lanes built for the safety of vulnerable users on Ontario stre Read more

We need to continue with the *creation* of bike lanes. It is unconscionable that so much money would be wasted by ripping them out. This wastes the original tax funds to create them, and more money to have them removed. Stop it already with the waste! Read more

What are we even doing here? I drive everyday around the city and believe the bike lines are important and safe for everyone. Removing these will add bikes to the already chaotic situation to the e-bikes, motorcycles, and pedestrians all trying to get around my car. Why is Toronto moving backwards? Read more

This is disappointing. In the inner city bike lanes provide a necessary alternative means of transportation when cars are too much. Toronto is a city, not a tiny village, and its infrastructure should reflect that. Read more

70% of my bike commute is on a trail, 30% is on the road with cars. Cars are scary. Can we have Doug use the bike lanes before he decides to block all of them across Ontario? Can we send Doug on a European vacation so he can see how nice it can be? Read more

Bike lanes are a benefit to reducing traffic. As bike lanes take up less space then a car lane, and provide a separate flow for slower moving bikes, they reduce congestion and increase traffic flow. Read more

This is the most shortsighted idea put forward in government in a long time. Not only will it put the lives of tax payers who have decided to not add to the gridlock and ride a bike in danger, it’s also ineffective at reaching its desired “goal”. Read more

I do not want my tax dollars spent on removing already in place infrastructure. Keep bikes separate from cars, leave the lanes in place and just focus on new developments.

The province is misinformed about what causes and improves congestion. Building more car capacity will only temporarily reduce congestion. Demand will grow to meet supply. The province needs to instead prioritize a variety of transportation options such as mass transit, cycling, etc. Read more

The provincial government should not have a hand in how Toronto's streets are managed. Most notably, a government that does not understand that more car lanes and highways does not equate less congestion. Read more
