Hi I just wanted to share my voice as a cyclist in the city. I use a bicycle to get around because it is faster than driving or taking transit at this point which is mainly due to congestion in the downtown core where I live.

I strongly oppose the removal of bike lanes along the proposed routes and others. They save lives from death by vehicle and improve overall fitness and health lifestyle. Cars kill.
The only thing that reduces gridlock is less cars on the road. Removing dedicated cycling lanes will only cause cyclists to bike in regular car lanes. This causes cars to be overly cautious and slow down their driving and attempt to merge into a different lane to avoid cyclists.

The only way reproducably shown in every major study to reduce traffic is to get less cars on the road.
I oppopse any reduction in dedicated bike lanes.

It is difficult to understand what benefit there might be for including Exemptions from Environmental Assessment Act (Schedule 3, Highway 413 ACT 2024, Section 2). The environmental assessment act exists to protect Ontarians and the natural environments we rely on to survive.

absolutely terrible idea. bike lanes reduce congestion according to actual studies. (https://epub.wupperinst.org/frontdoor/deliver/index/docId/6597/file/6597_Reducing_Congestion.pdf)

This legislation is an incredible overreach of provincial power over a municipal issue.
Let municipalities manage municipal issues.
The Provincial Gov't can do better by managing provincial issues like education and health care.
Fewer bike lanes will not resolve traffic issues. It will only make things more dangerous for those who bike, and force them to share the roads with cars which will slow down traffic even further.

Why? Where is the research that the removal of bike lanes is a good idea? We need to invest in alternatives to cars, such as public transit and encouraging biking.
I believe this legislation is terrible on multiple levels. First, it represents an absurd overreach of provincial power—why is the province wasting time and resources micromanaging municipalities? Second, removing existing bike lanes is just a foolish waste of money.

Ontario needs more bike lanes, especially in Toronto. Bike lanes help keep cyclists safe, and reduce traffic as it allows more people to get on the road safely.
