This is ridiculous overreach from the province on municipal manners, and with a policy focused on winning a popularity contest rather than doing whats right. Bike lanes reduce traffic not increase it!

This act is ridiculous and a clear example of government overreach. For an organization that claims to believe in small government you are doing the exact opposite and contributing to a bloated inefficient and oppressive state.

I disagree with removing bike lanes. As someone who commutes to work via walking, bus, and bike, I believe removing these lanes will decrease the efficiency, enjoyability and accessibility to commuting via bike.

This is an egregious jurisdictional overreach. Decisions regarding bike lanes and municipal traffic management should rest within our elected municipal councillors.

What a stupid backwards idea. For same on this government.

This is an incredibly misguided bill that will do nothing to decrease congestion and, in fact, will very likely make traffic worse in the GTA as it will remove safe alternatives to driving and will increase the volume of traffic arriving into the GTA with the completion of highway 413.

Skipping the proper environmental assessment process for the proposed 413 is asinine and may as well be an admission that it would uncover inconvenient truths about the impacts of this uneccesary highway on the life of Ontarians and Ontario itself.

This bill is very poorly thought out, the province should be spending time and resources on provincial level issues like healthcare instead of adding additional red tape to municipalities trying to invest in public infrastructure like bike lanes that are a proven strategy to reduce cars on the road

Absolutely ridiculous proposal. We need to encourage more active transportation and not add more car lanes.
Ford needs to get over he's not the mayor of Toronto.
The answer to solving gridlock is NOT making it easier for cars to drive. I say this as someone who owns a car, and has lived both in the suburbs of GTA and downtown Toronto.

According to the Toronto Region Board of Trade's "Congestion What's at Stake in Toronto's 2023 Mayoral By-election" report that was published in 2023, traffic congestion in Toronto "costs the region $11 billion annually in lost productivity and opportunity." Although this $11 billion would not go so

Hi there, my name is EA. I bike to work every day, from midtown, where I live, to the theatre district, where I work. I try to stay mostly on roads that offer bike lanes to be protected from traffic.
There is a segment of my commute that doesn't have a bike lane. Queen street!

More vehicular lanes means induced demand and gridlock. The only way to reduce gridlock is to take cars off the road. This means more cycling infrastructure, including removing car traffic lanes to replace with bike lanes - YES on major thoroughfares too! Public transit funding must also increase.

Good day. I am an Etobicoke resident who uses the bloor Bike lanes daily for my commute, leisure and errands and I feel very strongly against the proposed legislation.
