This is a bad idea. Bike lanes typically don't take away a car lane that isn't already being primarily used as parking spots. Saying a bike lane is taking away a car lane is disingenuous when most of those car lanes are being used primarily for parking.

I find this proposed legislation to be backward, misinformed and harmful for the sustainable growth of cities. Ontarians require many ways to get around - and this requires safe, and complete cycling networks to enhance safety and encourage more people to commute in more sustainable methods.

I live in midtown Toronto and the cycle tracks have changed my life for the better. I can ride to work, run errands, visit friends and family, all on my bike. It keeps me fit, healthy, and the cycle tracks themselves give me a safe passage.

Hello! I’m disappointed the government has not consulted ANY research or public health specialists regarding this. Removing bike lanes will not reduce congestion. Increasing bike lanes and improving public transport will.

This proposal is idiotic and anti math and science. Ford and the Ministry of Transportation are being purposely obtuse to satisfy some culture war. Ripping out bike lanes won't solve your issues. We barely have any bike lanes to begin with.

Bike lanes don’t create traffic, too many cars do. Invest in bike lanes and public transit in order to address the traffic issues. And stop trying to make Ontario’s cities less safe for pedestrians and cyclists by prioritizing cars.
As a citizen of Ontario, I strongly oppose this legislation. Firstly, this bill does not serve ontarians as the transportation needs vary greatly at the municipal level, and as such this issue of bike lanes should be handled by municipalities.

As a resident of Toronto, bike lanes are a vital artery of this city along with proper public transit lines.
Instead of removing them, the government should be on the lookout for implementing more instances and easily accessible routes.

There will be many comments supporting bike lanes and probably many who don't. When the pandemic came along I applauded this government for listening to the experts and taking action based on facts. Now I see the opposite when it comes to traffic congestion.

This is a terrible idea: bike lanes make travel for so many people easier, cheaper and faster. The reason bike lanes don't look like they're being used is because they're not congested - people get where they're going very quickly because they don't clog up.

Hello!
Let’s start with the fact that I drive and bike in the city. I take public transit on nights out and love to walk in our neighborhood.

Community participation, climate action, and economic development are key factors in the health, well-being, and longevity of Ontarians and our communities.

Getting rid of bike lanes would mean taking a large step back in terms of sustainable transportation and climate goals. In order to imagine a future for Canada, we need to start imagining the ways we can change our cities to help them support a wide variety of people with different needs.

Unless any municipality proposes installing bike lanes on a highway, I can't see why they must be forced to go to the province and ask for new bike lanes for their city streets.

As a driver, cyclist, constituent and engineering student living in Markham - Stouffville, this bill will only worsen congestion. The cyclists don't just stay at home, you'll either force cyclists to take the existing lane or make them take the car.

Traffic issues in Toronto and elsewhere are caused by single passenger vehicles and the fact that most of our roads are used to park cars. I don't even use bike lanes and I can see that they aren't the issue. Get Metrolinx to finish the lrt and raise the cost of parking on streets or eliminate it.

I am a conservative voter who voted for Ford in the last election. I live in downtown Toronto and I can clearly see the efficiency of bikes and the safety that bike lanes provides. I urge the provincial government to reconsider this bill and instead expand the transit and bike lane network.
