A bunch of issues with this bill. If you're trying to reduce gridlock, removing the need for more cars on the road is key. Actually do analysis on where the majority of the traffic is going to and find strategies to fix that instead of building more highways and removing bike lanes. Read more

Both my father and sister have been struck by cars while riding bikes. This heartbreaking event underscores the urgent need for safer cycling conditions in Toronto. Removing bike lanes would only increase the risk of such tragedies. Do you really want countless deaths on your hands? Read more

This feels like a step backwards. Progressive countries are accellerating the installation of bike likes and funding public transit. Why on earth would we want to encourage people to drive more rather than use more sustainable alternatives. Read more

Hi. I am so glad to see the Yonge Street bike lanes might be removed. They are a major safety issue for cyclists and drivers. Also the congestion created means if the subway is closed public transport vehicles just don’t move at all. Avenue Road is a much better parallel alternative.

This bill is a very bad idea. Bike lanes are essential to move more people through the city faster. Bike lanes are essential for safety of cyclists. Having more bike lanes and cyclists, means that there are fewer cars on the road, and then the cars are able to move more quickly through the city. Read more

It's absolutely absurd to consider removing bike lanes when many of these streets have ample on-street parking. While cars parked on the street can contribute to congestion, it's far more logical and efficient to address the issue by reducing on-street parking in favour of dedicated bike lanes. Read more

This is an ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE idea, and a GROSS overreach by the provincial government. Stick to your lane, bikes are an important way to combat the grid lock and it is extremely naive to think that removing bike lanes will contribute to less grid lock. Imagine if every cyclist had a car? Read more

How inept must one be to think that removing bike lanes is a good idea. Get out of the way of the future. Let's ban giant trucks for civilians instead. Oh and prosecute corrupt politicians like Doug Ford. Give us back our island. Give us back our money that you wasted. Read more

I live on Birch Avenue in Toronto off Yonge Street. There are 17 streets that count Yonge as their only egress from Crescent Road to Heath Street along the midtown bike lanes on Yonge. Read more

It is unreasonable over reaching to assume that provincial oversight is needed for this. Municipalities have the best understanding of their needs and the needs of their constituents. Read more

We should be moving towards making more people take bikes as a means of transportation and NOT encouraging more cards on the road as a solution. They are cleaner, and sustainable and need more support from the government. Read more

Fix the healthcare system, the housing problem, and the corruption in the government, and leave the bike lanes alone. I own a car, but only drag it out once per week to do my grocery shopping. The rest of the time, including my commute to work, I use the wonderful bike lanes in Toronto. Read more
