I don't understand why the province must oversee municipal projects like bike lanes on major and side roads in cities, particularly existing bike lanes.

Municipalities can make their own decisions on bike lanes.
If a municipality is pro bike lane, fine.
If a municipality is anti bike lane, fine.
Keep your hands off those decisions as if the province knows what is best for every municipality.

More bike lanes: More safety for cyclists: more room for people to get around their city: less cars & pollution in our air; better health, lower burden on health care system; it goes on and on.
The only future is one where PEOPLE are a PRIORITY, not cars! It’s not complicated!
I strongly oppose the removal of bike lanes in our city. Bike lanes provide a safe space for cyclists, reduce traffic congestion, and promote eco-friendly transportation.

The uncontrolled proliferation of bike lanes in Toronto is killing businesses, productivity and garnering the city a reputation as one of the most gridlocked cities in the world.

This is poor decision. The government doesn't live in these municipalities nor do they ride bikes as a part of everyday life. Leave the decision making to those in the know.
Removing bike lanes will not solve the problem of gridlock and will only increase the chances of injury and death for cyclists. The idea that bike lanes should only be on secondary roads also doesn't make sense as it is on the major roads that the additional protection of bike lanes is needed.

I've been a resident of Ontario all my life and I've lived in Toronto the past 12 years I do not support this bill. I believe the government should focus on getting PEOPLE to where they need to go and the best way to do this is to focus on transit and other alternative forms of transportation.

The proposal to remove already installed bike lanes is a ridiculous waste of Ontario’s taxpayer dollars. The province has many more issues that deserve funding and attention rather than paying to remove something that we already paid to remove!

bike lanes is the only thing that keeps Toronto residents safe. I use my bike to run errands around my neighborhood as so many others. most Toronto residents don't own cars and rely on transit and bikes. who are you removing the bike lanes for???
I do not support the removal of bikes lanes in Toronto.
I support policy to reduce vehicle traffic in the down town core, like a congestion tax.

Keep the bike lanes and add more of them. Not the other way around as bike lanes are being used by wide audiences and bike lanes have protected riders.
Stop spreading misinformation.
This proposal makes no sense. The traffic nightmare we are experiencing is caused by years of not investing in transit infrastructure - not by bike lanes. The city of Toronto has significantly worse public transit connections than many other city of it's size.

How are we moving backwards when every major city is adding more bike lanes and becoming more pedestrian friendly? This is incredibly disappointing but I will still ride my bike as I did before the bike lanes. When a car does hit though you will also be to blame for making it less safe.
Remove bike lanes on major streets and avenues where they are not used and only create problems.
Install bike lanes on side streets where they will actually be used.
Toronto is too big to need bike lanes for moving long distance.
I use these bike lanes everyday to get to and from work! removing bike lanes will cause cyclists deaths to skyrocket! more car lanes won’t solve traffic!! other methods of transportation solves traffic!!!
leave our bike lanes alone
This is an idiotic proposal on so many levels. It's a gross overreach into municipal jurisdiction. It's clear that the focus is Toronto — coincidentally enough, the lanes between Queen's Park and Etobicoke. I wonder why.

Over a year ago, a close friend almost lost her life when hit by a truck in Toronto. If we remove bike lanes, the people of Toronto will continue losing friends and family.

There are so many studies done that debunk the claims being made by the Transport Minister and Premiere, that it's insulting to everyone in Ontario that this is even being considered. Not only is it a massive overreach by the province into municipal affairs.
