Allow me to just state at the upfront that I am completely on board with reducing gridlock and saving people time. It’s a crying shame how much of our short lives are wasted behind the wheel of a car, on the seat of a bus, or at the handlebars of a bicycle. Read more

This is a blatant power grab to enable the provincial government to unilaterally build the expensive, environmentally harmful, and inefficient 413 Highway. Read more

Local roadways are funded and maintained by municipalities. Decisions on bike lanes should be up to municipalities. Adding more bureaucracy to this process is unnecessary and wasteful.

I want to submit my opposition to this bill. As someone who has been struck by a car while cycling, I feel this bill is dangerous, wasteful and an overreach of provincial power. Read more

I would like to compliment the Ontario Government for taking leadership and proposing legislation that would end the madness created by our mayor and Toronto City Hall politicians re-bike lanes in general, but specifically bike lanes that remove a lane of traffic both ways such as those on portions Read more

This piece of policy is absolutely ridiculous. Firstly this is a gross overreach of provincial resources into micro-managing municipalities. Secondly, it has been well established that increasing road volume does not reduce traffic and gridlock. Read more

Bike lane policy should remain the purview of local government (city, town, etc.). It's not clear why the Provincial government is once again interfering with city planning policy. The proposal is shortsighted and fails to address the actual causes of congestion. Read more

Please please don’t do this. So many of us rely on bikes and that won’t change just because you get rid of bike lanes. It’s just going to make it more unsafe. There are so many examples of using bike lanes to reduce gridlock all over the world. Read more

This will have a devastating impact on the community and be a waste of my tax dollars (given many of these safe and effective bike lanes were just completed/made safer). Read more
