Why are you hiding the Highway 413 environmental exemption in an omnibus bill? Is it just so you can pretend that the bill is about something else you think people want? What a cowardly way to do that. ( I know many governments have done it but guess what often they get caught and people find out. Read more

Removing bike lanes is a horrible idea. It will endanger the lives of cyclists who are very vulnerable travelers. The only way to reduce gridlock in Toronto is to reduce the amount of cars on the road. 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.

Biking promotes better physical and mental health. Biking will not stop without bike lanes it will just become more dangerous and cause more deaths. This policy puts cars before human lives. Read more

I rely on bike lanes to get through the city. I belive this will help reduce congestion by promoting bike traffic with a sense of safety and simplicity rather than navigating chaotic Toronto streets. This will make everyone safer. Read more

Gridlock is not solved by building more lanes. It's proven by multiple studies that more car lanes will not improve improve traffic and will slow drivers down EVEN MORE. This is an excellent way to make driving even more expensive for those of us who actually need to drive into the city. Read more

The Bloor St. W bike lane has been extremely valuable to the residents of Toronto since it's introduction, as is now a pillar of the city's cycling network. Read more

We all know that the development of car infrastructure proportional to population growth is simply an unsustainable model. We have seen how Ontario has one of the largest highway systems in the world, yet the GTA is still one of the worst to drive in. Read more

Just strip out the provisions respecting bike lanes. Spending millions to rip up Toronto's infrastructure and slow down traffic even more (adding both bikes and more cars to regular vehicle lanes is *not* going to reduce gridlock) is an enormous waste of time and money. Read more

Almost every day, cyclists are injured, killed or endangered while trying to get to their work or home safely. Protected bike lanes make them (us) safer, reduce traffic congestion by reducing the number of cars in the road, and cycling has health and environmental benefits. Read more

Bike lanes are so important for moving people safely and sustainably through cities. Adding MORE red tape to get bike lanes approved will not only prevent fewer bike lanes from getting built, but it prioritizes single-occupancy vehicle use over any other mode of transport. Read more

I am writing to voice what a complete waste of tax payer dollars it is to rip up the bike lane infrastructure. It will not improve gridlock - funding high speed public transportation, including increased Go Train service is the only sane solution.

I am writing to express my deep concern and strong opposition to the proposed removal of bike lanes in our community. This decision is not only an egregious waste of public funds but also a significant threat to public safety and the well-being of our city’s residents. Read more
