Bicycle lanes make roads safer for all users. Motor vehicle drivers have fewer conflicts where bicycle lanes exist. Pedestrians are also safer on streets with bicycle lanes.

I live in Toronto and can’t afford a car. I bike to work, to get groceries, to the gym. Bike lanes keep my and other community members safe and active, please don’t give the province the power to remove them.
I do not agree with this bill. Bike lanes reduce congestion. Removing them forces bikes into the regular lanes, reducing safety and the speed of traffic.
The province should be focusing on improving bike infrastructure and public transportation that reduces traffic congestion by encouraging other modes of transportation!!

First time commentor on something like this but…Why is Doug ford so hellbent on ruining toronto. Why do people who hate cities want all the say in how they are run?

Having moved to Toronto over 10 years ago I have been able to lower my carbon footprint in the city and on the plant in general by replacing my car with a bike and use of local transportation system.

This is a terrible proposal that will make traffic WORSE. Bike lanes reduce gridlock and are a foundational feature of the most liveable cities. Cities should be encouraged to create more, not restricted.
Abandon this proposal immediately.
I live in Toronto close to the Bloor Bike lanes.
I commute by car every day to Brampton, and regularly drive in the city.
I think it's rediculous to even entertain the idea of removing the city's well deserved bike lanes.

Strongly disagree.
You are intelligent people, decision makers, so it fits that you already know the causes of congestion. You already know bike lanes are not the cause of congestion. You’re simply playing politics.
But I’ll play along.

I am woman in my late 20s and I have lived in Toronto for three years now. I would definitely consider moving if these bike lanes were taken out. Biking is by the far the fastest, cheapest, and most reliable way to get around the city.

I do not support this initiative and will actively campaign against it in my community. We have options to manage gridlock (make the 407 cheaper or even public, we have already paid for it through our tax dollars) but we cannot manage the environment after it is destroyed.

I tell the province that we love our communities’ bike lanes, and we don't want the province saying where they can or can't be built because:
Bike lanes are good for business
They’re good for the environment
They’re good for public and personal health

This is so offensive; to have bike lanes taken away and it supposedly being to help people get around. Bike lanes help people get around and they are needed to keep people safe.

The bike lanes are not the issue with our horrific traffic. It is a lack efficient reliable public transit. We are thinking of cars (yes i own a car) with most urban young people not even owing a car. This is not sustainable for the future of our city.

After all the dumb decisions Doug Ford has made during his time as the Premier this is another one to add to the list. Safety of cyclists is apparently of no concern to you. Look at the science/data. Bike Lanes do not impact traffic in the manner you think.
