I totally support the removal of bike lanes on major Toronto arteries , specifically in Yonge street. The current situation is appalling with respect to traffic congestion - particularly in the stretch along Yonge between roxborough and st Clair. Read more

What a waste of money and provincial overreach! What happened to fiscally conservative, small government politicians? Why are they overstepping? Why are you wasting my tax dollars on removing bike lanes that are proven to work? You want congestion to go down? Read more

Bike lanes are incredibly useful to cities and residents. By making it harder to install bike lanes, we are prioritizing motorists over anyone using alternative transit, and ignoring the safety of cyclists. Read more

Why does this power need to be taken away from townships and municipalities? What works in Sudbury or Thunder Bay might not work for Barrie or London. This province should have NO say in this at all. Read more

Honestly, I don’t even know where to start. This legislation is so near-sighted, it prioritizes convenience over safety of vulnerable road users, encourages more emissions through more people driving, is not grounded in data, and is simply a tool for political points ahead of a likely election.

What a horrifically terrible idea to remove bike lanes and block future bike lanes from being built. Like most decisions DoFo makes, this legislation seems to be backed by zero evidence or logic and will create endless new issues. Read more

I’ve driven to work, rode my bike, used public transportation and walked. Limiting how bike lanes are built with provincial oversight does not make any sense. The current prices considers research, municipal and neighbourhood feedback. Read more

I'll keep my comments short, as many MPPs are quite busy: - top-down from the province rules for bike lanes makes no darn sense. Cities, not Queens Park know what their roads need. 400-series highways are provincial jurisdiction, not city streets Read more

I strongly oppose this bill. I think this is an overreach by the provincial government into municipal affairs. Further, it seems an inefficient process and waste of taxpayer money to add an additional layer of red tape and approvals to something as simple as a bike lane. Read more

How about government focus on building better public transportation systems rather than just relying on ever expanding roads which are just inducing more demand onto them.

This is one of the most ridiculous wastes of taxpayer money in the history of this province. I simply cannot believe this government is capable of working so hard to move society backwards. Bike lanes provide nothing but positives for downtown cores, particularly Toronto. Shame on this government. Read more

This proposal is a terrible idea. The provincial government should focus on critical matters that affect the province (like health care, the environment, emergency services, education, and regulating trade and commerce) instead of meddling in municipal affairs. Read more

I live in Toronto on one of the streets off Yonge between Bloor and St. Clair. There has been significant negative reaction to the bike lanes by my neighbours. However, I am in favour of KEEPING these bike lanes and in fact, adding more to the city. My comments are as follows: Read more

The province has no business interfering with decisions made by municipalities in areas where they have explicitly delegated powers to those municipalities. Read more

This policy is bad for several reasons. 1. We should NOT be putting any obstacles to getting better biking infrastructure into our cities. The pro-car/anti-biking policies of this government are completely against what most city dwelling Ontarians want in their cities. Read more
