When I was a student at University of Toronto, I could get around Toronto so easily with a bike. I have been hit by a car on College St. before (there were no guardrails there) and still continued to bike because it was just so much faster than driving. Read more

The GTA doesn't need more highways, it needs better infrastructure to enable people to live in communities that are closer to their jobs. A person who works a minimum wage fast food job in Toronto should be able to live in Toronto. Read more

Please do not remove bike Lanes. bike lane removal will also affect a large population that rely on skating or taking a scooter to work or any other type of transportation that relies on using a bike lane, as they are not fast enough to travel with other vehicles on the road. Read more

I think the province should stay out of municipal bike lane decision making. Municipalities know their cities way better than the province does. I've been using my bike to commute for work and to get around the city for the last 20 years. Read more

Local municipalities know the traffic situation and residents best. The province should focus on provinically interconnected roads such as highways and leave municipalities to decide bike lane for themselves. It would be less red tape in the end. Read more

I believe this is one of the most backward, short sighted proposals to come out of the ford government. With the democratization of the e-bike and more efficient nature of riding to work more people are taking to riding to work. Read more

Please close down the bike lanes on major roads in the city. No one with a brain uses a bike in the winter time. It takes up way too much space for being used so little 6-8 months out of the year. Read more

What a horrible idea. You only remove the ability of bikes to safely use the road, not the bikes. This is bad for community health, disadvantages marginalized and mobility impaired folks that can’t afford cars, and keeps kids from getting around the city safely. Read more

The Ontario government should not be dictating what a city or municipality can do to it's roadways. Just because the premier happens to live in Toronto and doesn't like bike lanes does not mean he gets to dictate how the city uses them. Read more
