Taking away the very limited cycling infostructure we do have? Children aren't safe outside anymore because of the industrial complex you created. Get a grip and ride a bike instead of driving for once you lack perspective and understanding of communities.
As a North York driver, it is absolutely ridiculous to remove bike lanes. Bikes are going to be on the road regardless as people need to commute and that’s not solely done by car. If the dedicated lane for bikes is removed, the bikes will ride on the road.

The removal or the environmental assessment for highways is not acceptable especially when running through important ecological areas. The fact that this was buried in a bill that also looks to take away bike lanes and other important infrastructure is disappointing.

This is a totally unnecessary bill that is focusing on the wrong thing. Spend time on actual provincial responsibilities and get the long overdue transit projects done. That will actually help reduce congestion.
Absolutely thoughtless, incompetent leadership demonstrated with this proposal.
You should be ashamed to not only insert the province into municipal affairs but also ignore the facts that this infrastructure improves traffic flow.

As a novice/casual cyclist who rides for transportation, the presence of bike lanes is crucial for my ability to get around on my bike. Toronto has made great strides in its cycling infrastructure in recent years, incentivizing myself (and many others) to choose cycling over driving.

This is bad legislation for bad policy that enables bad planning thriugh government over-reach. Keep provincial bureaucrats and corrupt politicians away from local roads. Let cities build roads if they choose, and let cities build bike lanes if they choose. Keep your nose where it belongs.
This comment concerns PART XII MUNICIPAL BY-LAWS AND BICYCLE LANES.
I would like to express my disagreement with the province's proposed measures to limit the construction of bike lanes in Ontario. Concerns include:

I have three young adult sons paying high rent and mortgages in downtown Toronto. They cannot afford cars and cycle to and from work. two of my three sons have had a friend killed while cycling in Toronto.

In Ottawa, bike lanes on Laurier Ave and Metcalfe have protected cyclists and encouraged an increase in the share of cycling in transportation for the past several years, including pre pandemic.

I drive my car and also ride my bike in Toronto. The reasoning behind removing bike lanes is simply illogical. Is the hope to discourage cyclists from using the roads altogether? If so, I can guarantee that will not happen.

This is an egregious waste of taxpayer dollars and well outside the jurisdiction of the provincial government. The people of Toronto voted for the representatives who backed this bike lane and paid for it; it is an affront to democracy to undo acts of other levels of government.

Thank you.
I'm tired of cities making it harder and more frustrating to drive in order to appease a minority of citizens who do not even use the amenities they call for.

Driving in Toronto is frustrating and slow and most residents would understand the intent to improve traffic conditions. However the removal of bike lanes and the suspension of installing new bike lanes is not a solution.

This is MORONIC. Spend money boosting public transit to make it useful again to ease congestion, how about that. Or acknowledge the studies that say that bike lanes don't affect traffic congestion in the first place. Or about how this is provincial government overreach in the first place.

Bike lines provide alternate menthol of transportation while working to reduce pollution, promoting exercise and community atmosphere.
Do not remove or block future bike lane projects
This is a stupid proposal, and wildly unsafe. This proposal essentially says that the province has the right over how a municipal roadway is used, and not the municipality it belongs to. This proposal implies that the province will take ownership of the roads. This will raise provincial taxes.

I am an all year round cyclist in Toronto, I use the Bloor bike lane every day. Removing that bike lane puts my life in direct danger from distracted drivers who I also encounter everyday.

It’s completely ridiculous to imagine someone who’s never been to my town or understand my needs may have the final say on whether or not I get to have a bike lane.
