This is garbage. I don’t want cyclists on the road with me and they don’t want to be dodging cars speeding by them. That’s why they need their own lane. Removing bike lanes is going to make traffic worse. Read more

This is ridiculous. For a government that is often telling Ottawa to butt out of provincial jurisdiction, the same can be said for the province getting involved in city planning that clearly are municipal concerns. Read more

Municipalities are responsible for their own roads; it's clear government overreach for the provincial government to be telling municipalities what they can and can't do with their roads. Read more

The province is overreaching municipal jurisdiction, and creating more unnecessary red tape for towns and cities. The municipal government has a much better understanding of how to improve gridlock in the city. Read more

This is dumb. Do not remove bike lanes. What a dumb waste of all of our money as taxpayers. Do you want less traffic on the road? Then provide safe, and reliable, alternatives to driving, such as bike lanes. If you remove bike lanes, I will never ever vote for you and the Conservative Party.

A lot of us need these bike lanes to commute to and from work, school, grocery stores, appointments, and other things or people. Taking this away from us is going to affect many people. It may just appear to be an annoyance for some however it is a vital way of mobility for many others. Read more

Ford’s myopic obsession with interfering in Toronto’s municipal government is clear. Bike lanes don’t cause congestion—cars do. Every major thoroughfare in Toronto, even those without bike lanes, is congested. Read more

Removing existing bike lanes/preventing the implementation of new bike lanes will not eliminate cyclists. Without dedicated bike lanes, cyclists will be forced to share lanes with cars. In Toronto 6 cyclists have already died in 2024 due to collisions with cars. Read more

This bill is awful. We need more separate, wider multi-use pathways connected to safe, reliable public transit please. I want to bike more and feel safer. I want to be healthy, on a planet that is healthy, to have clean air to breathe, a body that is strong. I want this for our children too. Read more

This should not be a priority for the provincial government at all. There are so many other issues that affect the people of this province that needs to be actioned as soon as possible. Read more

It's simply ridiculous that our provincial government wants to reduce bike lane infrastructure, when it's clearly a municipal issue that creates safer roads, eases traffic congestion, and saves lives. Shame on you, Doug Ford.

I am a car owner and driver. I do not support the removal of bike lanes, and fully support the addition of bike lanes that remove a traffic lane. We are a city that embarrassingly falls short when it comes to cycling infrastructure. Read more

The Framework for bike lanes proposes that provincial approval to allow for the implementation of new bicycle lanes (“bike lanes”) that require the removal of an existing lane of traffic, with the inference that existing bike lanes can be removed if they are deemed by the Province that they are taki Read more

This bill is an affront to good governance. ripping out recently finished cycling infrastructure on the "feeling" that bike lanes increase congestion despite what all of the data points to. While introducing onerous and misguided overhead when cities try to improve their traffic flow. Read more
