This proposal appears to be targeting the City of Toronto for spiteful purposes. Studies show that bike lanes and wider sidewalks improve access to businesses and do not reduce the number of people that can flow through a transportation corridor.

This is a ridiculous, backwards bill! We need to rethink car culture and have MORE bike lanes, not fewer. Totally opposed and disugusted. Where is the climate leadership??

Build Public transit. High speed rail. Not another highway.
I am a recreational (non commuter) cyclist and support well designed and implemented infrastructure, but the poorly conceived , designed and executed lanes on arterial roads are disastrous.

This is adding more unnecessary red tape for municipalities to build their roads, neighbourhoods, and communities. The Provincial government should leave local road design to the respective municipalities.

I oppose this proposal because it is anti democratic, reduces local input into decisions that change our neighborhoods, make our roads less safe, waste tax payer dollars and increase greenhouse gases.

Putting roadblocks in the way of bike lanes will not reduce traffic congestion. The only way to do that is to provide alternatives to driving. For example bike lanes. So if the aim is reduce traffic please reconsider this legislation. It is completely counter productive to the stated goal.
Bike lanes are important and are a local planning and transportation issue. Bike lanes help keep cars off the road. Please stop meddling in municipal affairs.
I am strongly opposed to this proposal concerning municipal bike lanes. In Kitchener, in the Region of Waterloo, where I live, planning for bike lanes and cycling routes has taken place over years and included consultation with all stakeholders.

I see no reason at all the province needs to be imposing policies on the City of Toronto regarding bike lanes, this is not helpful
From a Toronto resident
I am completely against ripping up bike lanes. It will not reduce traffic, and will just cause induced demand - meaning that gridlock may ease at first, but as it does so will the number of people driving increase, and we’ll be in the exact same boat.

There is a sore lack of logic behind the proposal to remove existing (some, brand new) bike lanes in the city of Toronto, where an overwhelming amount of Torontonians do not drive or own their own vehicle/have parking space, cannot or would rather not rely solely on our (underfunded and unsafe) publ

As someone who has bike commuted for 25 years, the growing trend of protected bike lanes has been welcome. Bike lanes, like all infrastructure should be well planned. In my experience, good local planning happens when it is directed from the local level.

This is not the single dumbest thing I have ever heard (that would be "let's build a tunnel under the 401"), but it is up there.
There is absolutely nothing worse than having cyclists TAKE UP A LANE SHARED WITH CARS. Pushing cyclists back into regular traffic is an awful idea.

We need safer streets which means less highways, and less vehicle lanes. Cities should be walkable our reliance on cars is ridiculous and more lanes doesn't mean less traffic. It just means more congestion and more cars. We need streets where we consider transportation BESIDES cars.

This framework, while representing an unreasonable overreach of the provincial government into municipal affairs as well as running contrary to the mandate of the Minister of Red Tape Reduction, is also premised on faulty information not supported by any evidence whatsoever.
