There are not enough people utilizing bike lanes in comparison to motor vehicles. The issue concerning motor vehicle traffic flow is still prevalent and should be solved before introducing more factors. Read more

Bike lanes help relieve congestion. I have a short 10 minute drive from home to work which I do twice a day. If the bikes I pass were cars, I have no doubt my drive would be much longer.

This regressive mindset that is entirely based off on feelings and contradicted by actual evidence, both recently here, and all over the world, has got to go. We don't need to expand car infrastructure. Read more

This is a cheap political trick to appeal to suburban voters. It will not reduce gridlock, it will not reduce commute times, it will increase pedestrian and cyclist injuries and deaths, and it will increase emissions and pollution. In addition, it is anti-democratic. Read more

I vote and live in Ontario, this proposal is a gross over reach into municipal affairs. I think your focus on the bike lanes is not evidence based, creates red tape and bloated government. This is a concerning waste of tax dollars for the sake of politics.

As both a driver and a cyclist residing in the downtown core and frequent the outskirts of the GTA I OBJECT to this proposed plan. Keeping cyclists and drivers physically separated is the safest way to move through a dense city that is only getting denser. Read more

Bike lanes save lives. My father was hit by a driver in 1995, before they were installed along Bloor. I now ride along bloor every day twice a day, and do so safely. It seems extremely short-sighted (un-sighted?) to remove them. Read more

The Government's solution to traffic congestion in Toronto, a municipal matter, is to propose digging a tunnel and tearing out existing cycling infrastructure. It is simply childish. Shame on us for allowing ourselves to be governed by children. Read more

From an environmental standpoint, it is obvious that an increased number of bike lanes has enormous benefits for cleaner air. Bikes are emissions free and, per passenger, require much less material and energy to construct than cars (1,2). Read more

It’s very clear that this bill has almost zero regard for the people that live in in Toronto. Cyclist deaths have been rising and traffic would just slow down on these roads if cyclists have to bike with other traffic. Read more

This is a broad overreach by the provincial government with an obvious bias by Premier Ford specifically, choosing bike lanes close to his own neighbourhood, and effecting his own commute, but refusing to take into account the actual data that's already been gathered for some of these bike lanes.
