As a transportation planner for the City of Hamilton, I do not support this bill. There are endless studies and factual data that prove that increasing vehicle lanes do NOT increase traffic flow, but instead, increase congestion over time. Read more

This proposal is worded as if only the movement of cars is considered important. Bicycles are a form of transport. Clean, cheap, efficient transport. Removing/reducing bike lanes is shortsighted, retrograde thinking. The biggest hindrance to cars are in fact streetcars.

The Ontario government is scrambling to solve traffic congestion by targeting a group who choose to travel in an environmentally and traffic-reducing responsible way: cyclists. Bike lanes are not the problem. In fact, they contribute to traffic reduction. Read more

This idea is fraught with falsehoods. This will NOT reduce gridlock. It is a step in the wrong direction. Cycling is preventative healthcare at its finest. Cycling is the most efficient way to combat poor air quality, reduce congestion, reduce noise. Read more

Remove as much public traffic lane as possible. The road should be for buses, emergency vehicles, construction vehicle and taxi almost exclusively. Adding bikelane is a good start but we need full commuting streets: Bus, trams, bike ect… POMVs are a problem.

Incredulous proposition. The provincial government is not in the trenches and therefore should not get any say in what happens in municipal bike lane/traffic affairs. Read more

This is ridiculous. Municpaloties should be encouraged to introduce bike lanes not have to go through bureaucratic red tape to appease Ford and his anti-bike wishes. Shame on Ford.

To say that accidents can worsen traffic congestion and impact the quality of life of Ontarians ignores the very real and very unnecessary growing number of cyclist and pedestrian deaths that occur because of the prioritization of motorized vehicles in this province. Read more

Governing on the basis of revenge is malicious. Bike lanes make it much safer for bikers. Bike lanes do not cause gridlock, an excess of cars on the road causes gridlock. Get public transit working, and get individuals out of cars when there are better options

By reducing the alternatives to driving, removing bike lanes will increase the amount of cars on the road. Study after study shows the benefit of bike lanes. Bike lanes are extremely important for delivery services to get where they need to go because cars block up the road anyways. Read more

There is plenty of research done that proves bike lines do not add to congestion Congestion is solved by investing in public transit and getting more cars off the road All this legislation stands to do is increase gridlock and endanger pedestrians and cyclists

You are doing an enormous disservice to our city and its inhabitants by removing bike lanes. We should be adding more, safer, bike lanes, not removing them. We need to provide people the option of healthy, clean transportation in the downtown core. Read more

I wholeheartedly oppose this proposal. I live in Toronto and commute to work by bike. Removing bike lanes will NOT save commuters time. Bike lanes allow for faster flow of more people than car lanes and are supported by urbanists, environmental advocates and BUSINESSES along bike routes. Read more

I really disagree with this proposal. Bike networks are essential for safety, get people out of cars and into modes of transportation that keep them active and healthy, and create fewer harmful air pollutants and GHG emissions. Read more
