Businesses don't want to get rid of the bike lanes. Citizens don't want to get rid of bike lanes. All the numbers say that it will have a minimal impact on flow of traffic. The numbers and the people are both saying the same thing, which is leave them alone.
I think it should be up to the municipality, not the province, to decide when and where to implement bike lanes. The municipality better understands its current and future vehicle and bicycle needs.

The proposed act seems to overlook the broader societal and environmental benefits of promoting cycling infrastructure. Research has consistently shown that enhancing cycling infrastructure can lead to significant reductions in urban traffic congestion.

Bike lanes save lives. I commute to work by bike and bike lanes mean that I am more likely to vote home uninjured to my 3 children at the end of the day.

This is dangerous and irresponsible. My partner was hit by a car on Bloor street several years ago, prior to the installation of the bike lanes. She now relies on the bike lane to get to work safely. This proposed legislation is endangering my family and is clearly wrong.

This has to be one of the worst ideas I've ever heard.
1. Literally redoing construction that was just laid down is why the world makes fun of Canadian construction

The province should leave the management of municipal roads to the municipalities which manage them. There is no reasonable argument for the province to dictate how municipal roads are configured.
This proposal does little to help gridlock however it will make streets more unsafe for citizens of each city where this is put forward. The Ford government is acting in haste and quite frankly distain of the people of the province and should be ashamed of themselves.

Please revert this anti bike lane, war on bikes legislation. It's void of any factual evidence and is fuelling an already dangerous culture war.

bicycles do not cause gridlock, cars do. eliminate street parking on major throughfares and police traffic! blocking the box, turning without signaling, distracted driving, these are the real dangerous issues we are facing. not cyclists.
Johnny Gaudreau and Matthew Gaudreau, may they rest in peace, would like to remind those still living, that over the past century we have designed roads for cars, and near utter disregard for the safety of other road users.

This is absolutely ridiculous Government over reach.
Keep the power with municipalities to decide how to deal with bike lanes. They are the ones who will know what is needed within their boundaries.

Dear Mr Ford, I am a student at downtown Toronto and regularly rely on the bike lanes at university, Bloor and younge. I do not understand how a bill like this can be tabled because it goes against what every Torontonian wants.

Please don’t take away and stop Toronto bike lanes. My children bike as a fast and affordable way to get around the city of Toronto and I’m so nervous for their safety already. I do drive but I respect people who bike and think they should have space on the road too.
Toronto continues to grow. There is no foreseeable time when it's population will be smaller than it is today. Similarly as bad as traffic is in the city today, it will never be better.

This bill moves us 50 years backward. The world is calling for reducing gas emission and promote new ways of transportation. Toronto should be at the forefront of this and did some great job to improve bike lanes in the last years. More and more people are using bikes including Uber eats bicycle.

To Doug Ford and/or his party members, I hope you have some the research to support this bill. Mostly because there is no research to support this bill so either you are a hypocrite or you do not care about the safety of your constituents. Which one do you choose?

Removing existing bike lanes is a waste of my tax dollars. I already pay property tax so the city can install bike lanes, and now you want to frivolously waste my tax dollars ripping them up? Ludicrous! This will harm small business owners who rely on people walking and cycling to shop on Blood St.

Doug Ford has access to countless research and data on traffic congestion and how it can be reduced. It has become undeniably clear, that the only way to reduce traffic is by reducing cars.
