Ripping out bike lanes isn't going to make anyone's commute faster but you know that. The research doesn't support it. The business associations don't support it. The commuters don't support it. The logic doesn't support it as the number of people commuting by bike has skyrocketed. Read more

This is a wild overreach by the province. Cities know there infrastructure best and the premiere vetoing projects because he doesn't like them is insane. On top of that bike lanes increase the number of people a road can carry and reduce congestion.

I oppose this bill because: I oppose building priority highways in order to move people. I support public transit expansion instead to move people safer, faster and with less environmental impact.. Read more

Please do not exempt highway 413 from the Environmental Assessment Act. More research and understanding is a good thing that should not be ignored. We live in a country that values and takes pride in the environment and our government should reflect that. Read more

This act is a joke. It will not reduce gridlock or save anyone time. It will increase pollution, traffic collisions, injuries and deaths, and time wasted. But Doug doesn't care, as long as he can force everybody to waste money on a new car and gas for it.

As someone who lives a couple of hours away from any major Ontario city, I absolutely despise the thought of driving in the cities but bike lanes are not the reason why. As a matter of fact, I believe bike lanes are part of the solution. Read more

Hello, I find this to be an absolutely absurd policy. As cities in Ontario become more dense, biking increasingly becomes a more viable, popular and more efficient way to get around. There is no way around it. Cycling will increase in popularity with or without bike lanes. Read more

Please, please, please reconsider the framework for cycling. I want to cycle on our city streets and not be killed. I have cycled in Montreal and it's a joy compared to Ottawa. Big city and yet I can easily cross it on my bike. Read more

This act will do nothing to reduce congestion, will engage the lives of people just trying to get around their city, and is a deep intrusion into the business of the city of Toronto. Doug Ford lost his bid to become the mayor of Toronto. Read more

Bike lanes make me feel safe and encourage me to go out and exercise as well as travel to work. Removing it would be a disaster and will increase congestion when all the cyclists who previously felt safe no longer don't and drive instead. Read more

We dont need more highways, we need more infrastructure that dont rely on cars. We need more rapid transit, subways, and trains especially. Why does it take over an hour to take a train into toronto from less that 100km out? Why is ontario so far behind the rest of the world. Read more

Bike lanes are good for businesses. They’re good for the environment. They’re good for public and personal health. Bike lanes do not increase congestion. More cars increase congestion. More bike lanes means more people cycling instead of driving which means fewer cars on the road. Read more

We don't need more road infrastructure. We don't need politicians that feel inconvenienced by simple rules. What we need is non-car infrastructure: high speed rail, cycling lanes, and effective busses. Stop making corrupt decisions.

I support evidence based policy. The evidence supports safe cycling infrastructure to both keep everyone on the road safer as well as help get people out of cars to reduce traffic. Removing bike lanes will instead increase travel times, increase harm to motorists, cyclists and pedestrians alike. Read more
