This bill will put the lives of Ontarians in danger. As a nurse who bikes to work daily, and who sees the results of horrific vehicle accidents often, I implore you to keep cyclists safe by encouraging bike lane construction.

Surely the provincial government has more important and appropriate things to do toward reducing gridlock, than review municipal bike lane infrastructure.

This bill saves nothing and is a waste of taxpayer dollars. Why build shelter from a storm just to tear it down when it rains. Fatalities involving cyclists are on the rise and aggression amongst motorist is evident.

This is a very misguided idea. Bike lanes are essential in providing an alternative to driving and transit, thereby reducing congestion. They do not cause congestion as they are more efficient than other traffic lanes at moving people.

Bike lanes are key to safe travel. I have been forced to take alternative costly trains and buses, as the roads near me are not safe to bike on, especially with my children.

Bike lanes are essential to this city. Look at other world class cities that are much larger than Toronto. There are all incorporating bike lanes into their existing infrastructure. This city needs proper solutions for traffic not bandaid ones like removing bike lanes.

I strongly disagree with this motion. The province should not have jurisdiction over bike lanes in municipalities, it is not the province’s job nor should the province be dictating what municipalities can and cannot do with bike lanes.

I am in favour of removing some bike lines from areas like Etobicoke where there are very few people using them. These areas are too far from the downtown core for the majority of people to be using. I believe bike lanes are a good idea in the downtown core only.
This is one of the most tremendously stupid things this government has ever proposed. It is also very transparently a ploy to cover up the controversial and pointless highway extensions that are also in this bill, and distract people from Doug Ford's corruption and criminal activity.

We need more bike lanes, not fewer! Bikes reduce gridlock, they don't increase it. They also make biking safer for everyone. I'm very much against this bill.
Removing bike lanes and not allowing future bike lanes is not the future I want to build. I want my children to have the opportunity and freedom to travel even before they can drive. Drivers are careless, distracted, and find cyclists to be inconvenient causing road rage and unsafe road conditions.

Bike lanes are good for business
They’re good for the environment
They’re good for public and personal health
They give us freedom and mobility
Bike lanes save lives!!!
I do not agree with this proposal. The argument regarding highways is not relevant to bike lanes as bikes are not permitted on highways in any case. This government has demonstrated that managing climate change is not their priority which for me should be their top priority.

As someone who drives in Toronto on a regular basis, I love this bill so much! Taking away driving lanes to add bike lanes in an already busy and crowded city never made sense and was not the right decision. So happy to be reducing bike lanes and adding traffic lanes back.
This legislation is a failure for anyone who wishes to commute using alternative methods. Bikes lanes don't cause congestion, cars do. The way we can truly reduce congestion is to get any cars that don't need to be on the road off the road.

Please strongly reconsider this policy/legislation. Myself and my girlfriend both frequently commute to Toronto from the suburbs. The new bike paths have been a godsend.

This is an overreach of provincial government onto municipal decisions.
Cities need more SAFE bike lanes to ease, congestion, not remove them.
Any decision to remove bike lanes isn’t automatic loss of support for the current provincial government for me.
