THERE IS ACTUAL SCIENTIFIC FACT THAT YOU ARE WRONG! Why is this even being considered? There are people dying in waiting rooms, hoping to see a doctor that the province is underpaying and overworking. There has been no progress on housing. There is ample opportunity to build transit if the gov. Read more

After a year I still can’t find a family doctor, ER wait times are through the roof, I’m stuck on the 401 all the time because the government can’t run GO buses more than hourly, we still can’t get Finch West, Crosstown, and the billions of other projects on the move, and yet the focus is on tearing Read more

As a driver, cyclist and a pedestrian, I find this proposed bill insulting to not only my intelligence, but more importantly, the safety of myself and my fellow Ontarians. Read more

As a recreational cycling and a motorist I feel the initiative to restrict and possibly remove bike lanes is incredibly misguided. Bikes are an efficient and healthy mode of transportation that needs to be encouraged. Read more

I chose to live in the biggest city in Canada because I get to be car-free and commute by walking, cycling, or transit. I am writing to express my deepest disappointment with this proposal. The proposed removal of existing functional and well-used infrastructure, i.e. Read more

Can the province please indicate exactly how much money they are going to pour into this cause to "assess" existing bike lanes that are impeding vehicular flow? And who will act as the reviewing agency?

There is evidence from across the world that bike lanes decrease deaths of ALL road users. We also need to think about vulnerable populations such as children, individuals using motorized wheelchairs, or people with limited incomes that can only afford bikes. Read more

Why is the Province getting involved in bike lanes? The City of Toronto (and other cities) should be figuring out their own needs. And more bike lanes means reduced traffic congestion. Read more

Bike lanes RELIEVE congestion - they do NOT cause congestion. This proposal to reduce gridlock by removing bike lanes will have longterm adverse effects on traffic, safety of vulnerable road users, and livability of urban spaces. I strongly disagree with it in all respects. Read more

I don’t even need to hark the usual talking points which point out the benefits of cycling infrastructure because the ministry has probably heard them more than enough. Read more

As a tax payer and property owner in the City of Toronto who drives a car, uses transit to get to work, and cycles to/from my home and parks for recreation, this legislation will make it far more difficult to get active and move safely in the city. Read more

I am completely unsupportive of this Bill. Please allow the level of government who is most aware of local traffic and mobility issues make these decisions. Read more

The premier has no business meddling in municipal affairs. As cities and towns move towards more active, safer, more affordable and more environmentally friendly cities, the province should be encouraging this change. Read more

This is decidedly not the move. It’s more glaringly obvious obfuscation by the provincial government that is also (pun intended) refusing to stay in its lane. Let the city of Toronto decide its fate, not the suburbs.

This is unbelievably stupid. The evidence shows overwhelmingly what anyone not blinded by know-nothing ideology could figure out on their own, that bike lanes reduce congestion by reducing the number of trips that need to happen by car. Read more
