I am against this proposal for the removal of bike lanes to create space for car lanes and for the provincial government to be involved in the creation of bike lanes as numerous studies have repeatedly shown that adding more car lanes and highways only increases gridlock and congestion. Read more

I am shocked this is what is important to the Provinces politicians. It also seems counterintuitive to the “cut the red tape” mantra of the conservatives. This seems like a massive waste of time and resources.

I totally support better management of bike lane implementation. People who drive cars are not second class citizens and their needs should be considered in proportion to their road use. Read more

This bill is insane, cannot understand how such a blatantly partisan bill is even being considered. Open corruption is the name of the game in this province lately. Eliminating bike lanes!? What year is this? The authors of this bill deserve jail time. Read more

Currently municipal transportation decisions are made by municipal officials informed by local knowledge and in consultation with local residents. I am not supportive of this legislation and the removal of local authority to make decisions around bike lanes. Read more

We should not be removing bike lanes! Total waste of tax payer money. Instead, focus on opening Eglington LRT and invest in other transit projects. Leave bike lanes in the capable hands of our mayor.

This is terrible. The provincial government has no business interferring with commuters in other cities i.e. Toronto. Also - saving WHO time? This exclusively prioritizes drivers as primary citizens and reduces cyclists to secondary citizens at best. Read more

This bill is a horrible idea that will lead to more deaths all to save a few minutes tops on your commute. Cars are a horribly inefficient method of transportation, let alone their environmental impact. Encouraging the use of these inefficient vehicles is the wrong decision here. Read more

I am a long time resident of Toronto and now living and working in Ottawa for a few years. One big reason why I had decided to move from Toronto to Ottawa was because of how unsafe the city was for bikers. Read more

This law serves only car owners, what about people who can't afford to have a car or prefer to exercise or do good to the environment? What about kids and families that should feel safe to ride their bikes in the city? Read more

I don't believe the government has demonstrated a valid link between the presence of bike lanes and congestion to justify the proposed solution. Not sure that this is not provincial overreach into an area traditionally controlled by municipal governments. Read more
