Specifically pertaining to the bike lane clauses: this is unreasonable overreach of the provincial government on municipal affairs. Let cities build their infrastructure as they see fit, for the people that live there.

This is such a terrible idea. This is backwards thinking. While every other city in this world builds more cycling infrastructure, you're removing it. We need more cyclists and bike lanes, not fewer. There are plenty of reasons to support cyclists:

No reduction in traffic will be observed by removing viable alternatives to motor vehicles. Counter-intuitively, this will instead exacerbate the problem, for the same reason that adding additional lanes only temporarily alleviates issues.

I'd like you to consider the needs of all road users in a balance way. Even among staunch bike lane detractors in Etobicoke centre, there are those of us, who do not share the view point of the vocal group of Kingsway residents.

I think this proposal is in bad faith. Bike lanes should be the responsibility of the city they reside in. Not the Provincial government. I feel Doug Ford has over stepped bounds to try and Police a city he should really not be even dealing with. That is the job of a Mayor.
Bike lanes are essential to the safety of net zero carbon commuters. Reducing bike lanes is honestly idiotic and moving backwards. this isn’t 1950, we need more space for healthy eco friendly transportation.
This is a trash proposal based on opinion rather than fact. It has been statistically proven time and time again that bike lanes do not increase congestion, quite the opposite.

This is a terrible plan that will further contribute to our growing traffic, health care, and environmental problems. Please stop wasting taxpayer money on this nonsense and focus on the solutions we really need: public healthcare, education, and transit.

Bike lanes are crucial for many residents. They're not just a luxury but a necessity, especially for those who can't afford cars. Most people using the bike lanes in Toronto are not using it for recreational purposes but to get safely to work and school.

This proposed bill is absolutely ridiculous. The provincial government has absolutely no authority to dictate what municipalities do with their roads or bike lanes. This is a huge overstepping of the provincial government's jurisdiction.

Dear Minister,
As a physician who has served the people of Ontario for over 3 years, I feel compelled to address the recently proposed policy requiring municipalities to seek provincial approval before implementing new bicycle lanes that necessitate the removal of an existing lane of traffic.

This proposal is shameful and hurtful. It will mean serious injury to hundreds of cyclists. That seems to be the intent. It is a sell out of our public infrastructure to oil barons who demand we spend public time and money supporting their greed.

I don't think that the provincial government has any place in determining how a municipality says if it's bike lanes.
It seems as though the government is ignoring the will of the people of the Cities and overriding them to accommodate a minority of Voters aligned with them.

I'm a business professional who depends on bike lanes in downtown Toronto in order to go to work every day, and I'd much prefer arriving to work alive.
