Clearly Ford is attacking bike lanes in an attempt to distract us from the Green Belt Scandal (where For tipped off developer friends which land was going to be removed from public protection) The Science Centre Scandal (where Ford condemned a really popular public attraction so that "allegedly" his

If your government is serious about reducing gridlock, you should invest in transit not only in the flashy ways that make headlines (subways, big projects), but get into the nitty-gritty of what makes transit work: make sure more buses are on the road and they have priority lanes, make sure streetca

I am a regular driver and occasional cyclist who is strongly opposed to the Ontario Government's initiative to over-rule and control Toronto's decision-making regarding bike lanes. Doug Ford needs to stay in his own lane and out of bike lanes.

As someone who relies on biking due to financial constraints, I’m deeply concerned about the impact of this bill. I cannot afford the costs of driving, paid rides, or even frequent bus fare, so biking is my only viable option for getting around.

Safety before political pandering please
This bill is quite absurd and if one wanted to get traffic moving, one could remove surface parking on busy roadways
I drive, I cycle and I walk
Driving is a privilege and safety for all road users is paramount

I strongly disagree with the intention of this bill.
Decisions regarding municipal roads should be made by municipal government, which is better informed of the local needs and desires regarding transportation, rather than the provincial government.

This Bill is detrimental to the future of Toronto and Ontario. A clear overreach from the Province that is only going to exacerbate the car-centric culture responsible for all the negative externalities taxpayers pay on a daily basis. Please repeal the Bill!!

This is absolutely ridiculous. The provincial government has no business deciding on municipal matters like bike lines on the roads. For the party that advocates for small government they sure have no problem overreaching in Toronto.

I do not support the removal of bike lanes. Ontario needs more alternative options to get around. Removing cars off the roads and providing Ontario residents with other transportation options needs to be a priority. Removing existing bike lanes is not the answer.

This bill is in the running for dumbest idea yet, which is remarkable considering the Ontario Place and Highway 413 debacles. If you remove bike lanes cyclists will be back on the ROAD slowing down traffic.

This is just an obvious distraction from this government's many failures. It can't deliver on transit so it needs to pretend it's doing something. Stalling for time while wasting taxpayer money.
This is terrible legislation on multiple levels.
First, it is an absurd overreach of provincial power. Why is the province wasting its time and resources micro managing municipalities?
Second, ripping out existing bike lines is just a stupid waste of money.

Please stop stepping on cities and municipalities trying to improve things on the ground and let them do what fits for their residents.
If the provincial leadership does not want to improve things at least try not to yuck someone else’s yum!
Is there literally anything that's actually good in this bill? From wasting my money to rip out bike lanes that transport 3 times more people much more safely that I just paid to build to skipping environmental assessment for doug ford's highways, what are we, Kentucky?

Regular year round user of bike lanes. Removal will cause me and many like me to drive my car instead. Only fewer cars can reduce gridlock. Adding one more lane won't fix anything or maybe build a flyover.
Firstly, the province should not be interfering in municipal decisions. Municipalities have their own level of government and are closer to the specific needs of their towns & cities. That said, not allowing bike lanes and/or removing bike lanes truly does not make sense.

I urge you to reconsider this bill.
The removal of recently constructed bike lanes is not fiscally responsible, nor is the proposed additional oversight for municipal traffic planning.

This proposal is absurd. Removing bike lanes simply forces cyclists onto the road or sidewalk, resulting in more congestion for cars and far less safety for cyclists.
