Adding more lanes will never reduce traffic in the long run. We must prioritize low footprint travel such as public transit and cycling. Do not remove these bikes lanes!!

Bike lanes should be a municipal decision, not a provincial one. Locally elected officials are more than capable of deciding whether or not a bike lane should be added to some random street in a city. Read more

The way the government is talking about this Act fuels a divisive rhetoric of "bikes versus cars." But what we can all agree on is that safer streets, with slower moving traffic in urban areas, saves lives. Lives of loved ones that we all have. Read more

The plan to remove bike lanes on major streets in Toronto is a massive waste of taxpayer money, will cause more cyclists to die and be injured, and lead to more people choosing to drive over biking, which will lead to more gridlock and pollution. Read more

This proposal is deeply concerning for myself and my community. As a main source of enjoyment and transportation to and from work I use Toronto’s bike lanes. I think it is extremely irresponsible to put people’s lives at risk for a little convenience if removing these lanes even provides that. Read more

This is a clear grab for last minute votes from Center right rich people who are angry that the poor have equal rights on the roads. Life here has been made hard enough by Ford. Believe if this goes through there will be a push back.

I haven't seen a single fact that shows more highways leads to better traffic. In fact it's universally regarded as the opposite; the more you make driving the only option the more people are going to be forced to drive, and traffic worsens. Read more

I approve the implementation of new bike lanes to provide citizens more options for reliable and safe transportation in a city with an underfunded and unreliable public transit system.

Sounds like a huge waste and impact now that they are there. Also seems like mixing bikes doing 20kph with cars will slow the cars down more not changing congestion and increasing risk.

Reducing bike lanes by putting up red tape and removing existing ones is going to affect the safety of citizens and the more cars on the road the more gridlock. Time and time again more increasing car infrastructure has proven to just increase traffic at a bigger scale. It’s a temporary solution. Read more

I moved to Toronto from Calgary about 1.5 years ago, and I've noticed a significant difference in the cycling infrastructure. In Calgary, there are great paths along the river and through parks, but they don’t connect well to places where people work or do business. Read more

As a resident in the largest city in Ontario, I strongly disagree with the provincial involvement in the decision making regarding municipal bike lanes unless guidance/resources are explicitly sought out by the municipality. Read more

I DO NOT support this bill. I am a driver and a cyclist in the city of Toronto and believe that the streets are for everyone. I deserve to be safe and separated from cars when I ride my bike in the city and you should be thanking me for doing so as that is one less car on the road during rush hour. Read more

If the goal is to make a city better, we need to make the city user friendly for all- not just cars. A car Centred city is a dead city. We need to avoid gridlock by allowing alternative transit options.make it a pleasant city to actually live in. Not just travel in to get somewhere else. Read more

This bill is an embarrassment to Canadians and is going to end up with canadian people dying in completely preventable accidents. That is going to be 100% because of this bill and Specifically Doug Fraud.
