It has been very frustrating the last few years to see the changes made to our downtown streets. While I certainly understand making streets safer, it seems as though decisions are made by persons as though it were a board game rather than real life. Read more

This bill is pointless. It won't reduce gridlock because all the people who can't bike any more would have to drive a car instead, so you're just increasing traffic. Read more

It should not be within the authority of the provincial minister of transportation or the ministry of transportation to make decisions about municipal road use planning, including decisions about whether and where a municipality wants to build a bike lane. Read more

The bike lanes on Yonge st have caused major problems to residential streets. The new gridlock on Yonge means that drivers try to leave onto side streets. This has happened on Roxborough st W which is the first left turn on Yonge after Davenport . The traffic heads to avenue road. Read more

Why do we need to fast track a highway to nowhere? How do bikes on Bloor affect the gridlock on the 401? Please focus on actual provincial issues like health care and transit. You are not mayor of Torono Dougie.

This bill unfairly targets low-income wage earners and commuters by reducing marginal and un-protected road space for the minimal benefit of larger vehicles that are too often the root cause of traffic gridlock. Read more

First, this act is written to appeal to drivers and drivers are not the only people in Ontario that need to get around. In fact, there should be more investment in the condition, safety, and frequency for alternative methods of transportation like biking, walking, or taking transit. Read more

I am writing to express my family's vehement opposition to measures in this Bill that will impede the implementation of more bike lanes and, even more disappointingly, remove current bike lanes in the province. Read more

This absurd, cynical proposal will put my life and my family’s lives at risk so Doug Ford can make a cheap pitch for car-drivers’ votes. If you go through with it and start demolishing bike lines in my neighbourhood expect to find us chained to the lampposts. Read more

This is a horrific idea which will not only increase traffic volume, but will also put cyclists' lives at risk. As the grim reality of climate change sets in, this project will put more cars on the road, idling aimlessly. This is counterproductive and, frankly, embarrassing. Read more

This new law would be disastrous and regressive. It is downright embarrassing to live in a province where the government wants to undermine projects that would enable us to grow toward a more environmentally friendly future. Read more

A ridiculous act that will do that exact opposite of what it promises. This act will directly take power away from municipalities and their ability to self govern. This will also cause wasteful use of precious resources at the provincial level. Read more
