Removing bike lanes is the stupidest decision you could make if you are trying to improve traffic. Please do not remove the bike lanes just because truck drivers from the 905 are afraid of the big bad city.

this is stupid. absolutely asinine. the ONLY way to reduce congestion on roads is to give drivers good alternatives, such as public transit or biking. it's been proven time and time and time and time again that adding more lanes to roads only worsens traffic, it never improves traffic.

Bike lanes are not for the province to decide. Let municipalities do what they plan. They have the focus on whats best for their area. You clearly dont.
Also no skipping environmental assessments allowed. Environment first, massive useless highway not even 2nd.
I think this is a fantastic bill to prevent councillors with a cycling hobby from removing infrastructure that is well used year round and replacing it with infrastructure that is sparsely used for at most 8 months of the year.

This is a terrible idea. I am so disappointed in the Ford government for suggesting this and potentially squandering tax dollars on this.
The entire campaign is filled with disinformation about road safety.
Be forward thinking and look at road safety for all. One death is too much!!

If the aim is to move people from Point A to Point B, should the focus not be on the best use of resources be a focus on how to move the most people in the least amount of time. Adding more cars into the equation does not decrease gridlock, it increases it.

This is a terrible exercise in government doublespeak.
Ways to reducing gridlock infrastructure-wise include safe active transportation and better transit options.

I’m a commuter cyclist who relies on safe infrastructure for bikes to stay financially and physically healthy. My husband and I both work full time and we have a four-year-old daughter.

1. This is not based on facts as bike lanes are well used in Toronto. You don't see bike traffic as cyclists rarely impede each other and therefore get to their destination quicker (shorter destinations of course).

Traffic will always be an issue in this city because there are too many people and too many cars. No matter how many lanes, they will always be full. The only sustainable solution to reduce traffic is MORE bike lanes and transit lines that reach more and further areas.

Removal of bike lanes is terrible idea. Bikers will still bike on major roads with or without bike lanes. Why not consider removing parking on major streets like Bloor? It is an egregious waste of taxpayer money to remove bike lanes that were just put in.
This is terrible legislation on multiple levels.
First, it is an absurd overreach of provincial power. Why is the province wasting its time and resources micro managing municipalities?
Second, ripping out existing bike lines is just a stupid waste of money.

This is completely incompetent. The Eglinton LRT is still not operational. Let's fix our transit issues before removing infrastructure that is protecting cyclists and promoting traffic-reducing travel.
Multiple studies worldwide have shown that increasing bike lanes and bicycle usage decreases travel times for motorized vehicle.
As a commerical truck driver I support more bike lanes, as it makes cyclists more visible, increasing safety for all.

Please don't remove existing bike lanes! With the cost of living, I've switched over to a bike to getting around the city. I feel SO much more comfortable and safe with there being bike lanes!

This policy is frankly insane. We need to reduce dependency on car infrastructure through the province by further investing in transit, cycling, distributing our workforce, etc.

I am against reducing bike lanes in Toronto. Bike lanes reduce congestion, not add to it. I know on Bloor st in particular, there was alway gridlock even before the addition of separated bike lanes.
