We need more bike lanes not less bike lanes in this city. Ripping them up is a waste of taxpayer dollars and a step back for this city in every way. No research supports this. Biking helps congestion and we want more people on bikes and we want to protect pedestrians and cyclists.

Not only will you be wasting taxpayer money with bike lane removals, but you will be adding to congestion as cyclists come back onto the road and putting their lives in danger.

I am both a driver and a cyclist and live in Toronto. We need more bike lanes, not less. Bike lanes save lives, move people through the city faster, promote a healthier and happier populous. We are in the midst of a climate crisis and cannot fathom why priority would be given to vehicle transit.

I get around the city in all sorts of ways—walking, cycling, taking transit, and driving. My family of five lives in Toronto, and my office is in the Junction. My team and clients come by foot, bike, car, TTC, GO/UP, or shared rides like Uber.

More bike lanes are fundamental in big cities where traffic is busy and hostile. I used to ride up and down Yonge street between Bloor and Eglinton before the bike lane was there.

Increasing the length of roadways that bikes and cars share is less safe for bikers and directly slows down car traffic by collapsing different moves of transportation to a single lane.

Incredibly disappointed with the proposal to limit and even remove bicycle lanes in Ontario municipalities.
Proceeding with this change will have a markedly negative effect on local communities, traffic, and businesses that benefit from proximity to bicycle lanes.
As someone who works in transportation at the municipal level and has nine years of post-secondary education in urban planning, I can say with some authority that this proposed legislation is wildly misguided, if not intentionally malicious.

The proposal is short-sighted, ill informed, proposed in bad faith and dangerous to cyclists and car drivers both. Invest in public transit ins tead, encourage companies to support work-from home programs, invest in infrastructure. Stop waisting time and money.

I believe that additional car infrastructure like highways are not a net positive for Toronto. History has shown that this method does not offer long term reduction in travel times. The only way to do that is to focus on more efficient transportation options like trains, busses, and bikes.

As a driver I would prefer to have bike lanes for the safety of bikers and drivers. Driving is slower when bikes are in the same lanes as cars. I would prefer bikes have their own lanes as often as possible. I want more bike lanes more quickly rather than highway 413.
This is madness. Bike lanes actually reduce overall congestion in the city. Stop catering everything to car drivers. How about we build our cities for people other than drivers?
This is the stupidist biggest waste of money proposal I've ever heard of. Look around the world at great cities and best practices and they are putting in cycling infrastructure, not removing it. Not to mention these are city of Toronto roads.

This is essentially a collapse in forward thinking, a fight against those who cannot afford a car, an entitlement bill and a new way to tell a segment of our population that they do not have a place within our infrastructure.
This is the most backward thinking proposed legislation I’ve encountered in a long time. Studies have proven that bike lanes REDUCE traffic congestion, not cause it. There is no evidentiary proof that bike lanes cause traffic congestion.
