This is a terrible act and makes absolutely no sense beyond putting money in (already full) pockets. To reduce gridlock, the solution is to invest in non-car options. That's it.

We absolutely need more bike lanes and especially protected bike lanes. It’s terrifying to go anywhere biking downtown due to the absence of adequate protected bike lanes. Traffic would be reduced and streetcars could run faster if lanes were reduced and made into bike lanes!
People don’t understand what a good transit system that prioritizes pedestrians, bikers and public transportation looks like. Show it to them instead of prioritizing cars once again! I live by the Gardiner ramp off Lower Jarvis St. and it is an absolute disaster.

As a business owner along a bike route on College near Bathurst, I have noticed a significant uptick in foot traffic and customers since the lanes were installed last year. I believe this bill will hurt business and commuters throughout the province.

I agree that the provincial government oversees the bikes lanes. There is a proliferation of bike lanes affecting traffic and considering only local traffic, while in reality it affects commuters from multiple localities.

This action is the grossest kind of over reach made by a failing politician, one of the most corrupt governments Ontario has ever seen. Everyone involved should go to prison
I feel that this bill has some extreme impropriety - the provincial level should not be meddling in Toronto level affairs simply to pander to Northern Ontario voters.

Removal of bike lanes or even not expanding the bike network is dangerous for cyclists and a huge step back in urban development. The government should be focused on ensuring all commuters are safe and encouraging more individuals to use alternative modes of transportation.

I use Bike Share daily. I take about 2x1.5 metres at most on the road - compared to a car. The subway exists below, but doesn’t get me to exactly where I need (final mile).
Please keep the bike lanes. I am also a licensed driver, and even this - obviously - will not get rid of gridlock.
To reduce gridlock, a better approach would to implement tolls on toads that would variety depending on level of traffic - eg higher during rush hour.
The money can be re - invested in public transit and improved road maintenance

This is a colossal waste. The City government ALREADY collects data, does traffic studies, etc. This bill serves only to INCREASE BUREAUCRATIC RED TAPE, and will do NOTHING to improve traffic conditions in Toronto.
Removing bike lanes is not only short-sighted but incredibly dangerous. Do you think about the fact this infrastructure was created to save lives?

Removing bike Lanes seems like a pretty poor plan. The long-term issues of moving people around a dense City will not be helped in this way. Add many more GO train and GO bus runs into the city so that folks from the surrounding areas don't have to drive in if they don't want to.
