As someone who rides on bike lanes on Bloor, it let's me access more stores and buy stuff We shouldn't take this away. We should encourage other forms of transport other than cars

Amazing how blatantly corrupt this bill is. Overreach into Toronto policy. Decreasing barriers to entry to drive to reduce congestion? The real kicker is the attempt to shove the 413 down our throats by introducing a way to bypass environmental assessments. Read more

Bicycle infrastructure is an integral part of any municipality. Trying to cut this is horrendous on all the levels you already know....safety, economics, gridlock, happiness index, tax burden, etc....we know this. It is a sham to promote otherwise. Read more

This is so stupid. How is making people on bikes just drive cars instead going to reduce traffic? That’s literally adding more cars to the road. “Oh but the bike lanes take up too much space.” Please tell me how many cars can fit in a bike lane. Zero. Literally zero. Read more

I am totally in favour of this decision. As in peak hours traffics get too congested. I ride bike as well but this bill will resolve a lot of city issues with the high congested traffic! Kindly pass this bill, remove unnecessary bikes lanes which is of no use in winter season as well.

This bill is a drastic over reach of provincial power and will make cities think twice in the future about investing in any sort of infrastructure knowing the premier can, and will, simply destroy it on a whim. Read more

This is a terrible idea. Every study on bike lanes and traffic shows that more bike lanes help improve traffic. More cars lanes lead to more car traffic and more congestion. Read and follow the science, please! Read more

I am opposed to the changes proposed by the government around bike lanes. I do not own a car and I use my bike as my primary mode of transportation, supplemented by some car sharing when it’s not safe of feasible to bike. I rely on bike lanes every day to keep me safe on my commutes. Read more

Removing bike lanes is only going to make Toronto more dangerous for pedestrians, bikers, and drivers. As a person that drives into the downtown Toronto core daily for work, I believe bike lanes are an integral part of the city infrastructure. Read more

Removing bike lanes is only going to lead to more congestion. Where are cyclists going to go? They are going to take up a whole car lane. This will lead to so many more dangerous situations. Read more

Hi, I am in favour of keeping the bike lanes on Bloor St. I have been hit by cars twice. The first time was on Bloor St close to Islington, and the other time was in a residential neighbourhood south of Bloor St and east of Royal York. Read more

Keeping bike lanes in Toronto is essential for several reasons. Protected bike lanes offer an affordable and accessible form of transportation, especially for those who cannot afford a car or rely on public transit. Read more

As a driver in the city of Toronto I value the dedicated bike lanes highly. I actively choose routes where bike lanes exist because it makes me feel safer knowing that cyclists have space and won't jump out unexpectedly. I feel this is a massive over reach of power by the provincial government.

Please do not waste taxpayers money in rooting out existing infrastructure. Sure, have more dialogue between the city and the province for future bike lane plans but please do not waste money in removing existing lanes, some of them are almost brand new! Read more
