Bike lanes are very important for safety and clear road ways. If you want to invest in infrastructure, put more money into regional transit! Clean up the mess that is mentrolinx! Read more

Bike lanes are essential to the safety of commuters. With the rising costs of living more people are not able to afford a motor vehicle and lean on bicycles to commute to work. Cycling is also an effective way to exercise while reducing CO2 emissions. Read more

Why are we getting rid of bikelanes that were just built? This seems like a waste of money just to cave to the demands of the rich elites. Bikes are an affordable, efficient form of transportation. Read more

As a conservative voter, I find the removal of existing bikelanes to be an absolutely abhorrent use of government money. Bikelanes have been repeatedly demonstrated by studies and examples NOT to worsen traffic. Read more

Endlessly disappointed by Dud Ford and his inability to complete anything useful or satisfy any vital public needs so it is unsurprising that he is attacking bike lanes now. Prepare for a fight because cycling isn’t going to lessen in the city. Read more

Let municipalities do what is best for THEIR MUNICIPALITY!!! You know what causes traffic, congestion, and gridlock? CARS. Not bikes. You know how many more bikes can fit in the footprint of a single car? Read more

The proposal to remove bike lanes from busy roads to improve traffic flow may seem like a straightforward solution to congestion, but it overlooks the critical benefits that bike lanes bring to cities, commuters, and the environment. Read more

Reducing bike lanes is not how to prevent gridlock. Gridlock/traffic is apparent on all streets, bike lane or not. Highways are always congested, and there is always ongoing construction closing roads and lanes. Bike lanes are not the source of congestion. Read more

Bike infrastructure is vital for our community and the health of our futures. Less bike lanes mean more cars and more biking related accidents. This bill is very important!

Adding red tape to the expansion of bike lanes is a bad idea for the population in general. We need more ways for people to get around safely, and this includes dedicated, permanent bike lanes. Read more

Removing bike lanes on corridors such as Yonge, University and Bloor is not going to make cyclists disappear and save time. Timid cyclists will switch to driving a car, which will increase traffic on the roads further. Read more

You can not get ride of bike lanes that are already in downtown Toronto. I use them everyday and bike lanes are the only way I feel safe biking in the city. Biking is a form of clean transportation and we should be encouraging it rather than ripping up the supporting infrastructure.

I believe the changes proposed in "PART XII MUNICIPAL BY-LAWS AND BICYCLE LANES" is an overreach of provincial jurisdiction and creates additional red tape which the current government has repeatedly campaigned on reducing. Read more

This is the most ridiculous piece of legislation I have seen. It's ignoring FACTS and pandering to the voting base based on myths. It is reprehensible. - Bike lanes do NOT restrict traffic. Without them cyclists will take a lane anyways. - Bike lanes save lives Read more

1. It is the municipality's responsibility, not the provinces. The municipality is more aware of the local issues. The province CANNOT understand the local issues and in order to do so, would have to increase their staffing levels. A waste of tax payer's hard-earned dollars in my opinion. Read more
