Spending money to get rid of bike lanes that were just constructed is an incredibly wasteful use of taxpayer money, will cause construction blockages for weeks making traffic much worse, and is a political stunt by Ford to win suburban voters who will never drive on Bloor, University, or Yonge.

WE NEED BIKE LANES THE BIKERS WILL CONGEST THE TRAFFIC EVEN MORE- THE BIKERS WILL RIDE IN THE CAR LANE and IT WILL ACTUALLY BE WORSE- im a driver AND WE NEED BIKE LANES!!! KEEP THE BIKE LANES
Bike lanes are good for business, improve safety for all road users, and reduce congestion. Additionally, it's clear that this may be a smokescreen to eliminate environmental checks before building highways.
All the research indicates that Bike Lanes reduce congestion so this plan to remove them is crazy. The Premier needs to focus on what is important to us voters - Health Care, Climate Change and Schools.
This is an Orwellian situation because you don't eliminate bike lanes to reduce gridlock - reducing bike lanes will INCREASE gridlock. It's not just obvious to the eye and basic logic it has been proven time and time again in studies throughout the globe.

The proposed legislation is an evidence free direct assault on the health, welfare, and commuting convenience of cyclists throughout the province, although principally targeted at those in Toronto.

I am a mom of two, and the fastest and safest way for me to get to work in the morning is by riding my bicycle. I really hope the city builds more bike lanes so that one day I can feel safe running errands for my family by bike, too.

This Bill will not reduce gridlock. The only solution to congestion and gridlock is viable alternatives to car driving (of which bike lanes are one alternative).

As a tax paying Ontarian who uses multiple methods of transportation throughout the city including driving, subway, and cycling, I vehemently oppose this bill as the evidence suggests that this in fact will not improve gridlock and may even increase it.

Cycling infrastructure is critical for keeping people safe! It is also a way forward, especially during the climate crisis. Many Ontarians can't afford cars, and cycling is an excellent alternative. Keep us safe while we are on our bikes. This policy should not move forward.
I wanted to lend my voice to the many others in opposition to this proposal.
There is no compelling evidence I am aware of that demonstrates, beyond a reasonable doubt, that bike lanes meaningfully add to traffic.

The very fact that provincial politicians and the Premiere of Ontario are even talking about bike lanes is a huge overstep of governance. Our Premiere and his administration should instead focus on restoring funding to public healthcare, schools, regional transit and other Ontario-wide issues.

I recently moved back to Toronto after living in Collingwood for a year. Both my girlfriend and I had a car. We sold one prior to moving because the transit and cycling infrastructure we knew to be good.
