The bike lanes on the major streets (e.g bloor) have been so paramount to efficient commuting, safety, and overall quality of life. I bike everyday (using the city bikes) for 30 minutes on Bloor and Runnymede to get to work and it has been by far the best way of commuting.

Bike lanes decrease traffic’s. More car lanes creates more car traffic. Municipalities are the best decision makes for the municipal roads. I full heartedly disagree and oppose the Act.
We’re really not interested in the provincial government meddling in municipal affairs. Focus on provincial issues, you’re making a mess of those as it is. If you’ve got a comment concerning bike lanes, take your views to city council!
Adding back more lanes for traffic has shown to only increase more traffic. Having bike lanes insures public safety. Furthermore this should be a municipal decision and not provincial.
I support bike lanes, and I believe that municipalities are best positioned to make decisions around bike lanes. We will not reduce gridlock by allocating more space to private vehicles.

This decision is so backwards it's embarrassing. There is no benefit to this and it's complete waste of taxpayer money, money that people worked hard to make, and this is just throwing it away.

To waste taxpayer money to take out the lanes and make them into lanes for car traffic is unbelievable. It is environmentally damaging to our society. We need to be encouraging people to take the bike lanes. We need less people driving on the roads to make them less congested.

Doug, you gotta stop. Bike lanes are safer for all users (you've said so yourself and the data shows this). The data also shows that protected lanes reduce commute times for everyone, reduce emergency response times, and increase business where they are placed.

I am strongly against this proposed bill. I have personal experience being nearly injured by cars while safely using bicycle lanes. We need to expand bicycle lanes and build more. NOT reduce them.

This is entirely unacceptable. Such overreach is a waste of time and shows the extent of incompetence and lack of intelligence that festers within our provincial government. This proposal will not eliminate gridlock nor will it save anyone time.

Please immediately desist in this ridiculous anti-cyclist action and abandon this ridiculous legislation. Municipalities absolutely need control of their infrastructure planning and a solid, forward-looking infrastructure plan includes active transport.

1) REMOVING BICYCLE LANES WILL COST LIVES
You must be totally mad. What a waste of taxpayer money for this shambles. How many more cyclists have to be run down and killed by a motorist until you stop your culture war games?
2) HIGHWAY 413 IS NOT NEEDED - PUBLIC TRANSPORT IS

This legislation is completely unnecessary. Control over roads and bike lines should remain with the municipalities as they are the experts on city matters and are most capable of balancing varied interests (drivers, transit users, cyclists, pedestrians…)

Let’s keep all Ontarians safe.
How about the Premier spend the money that he wants to remove bike lanes and spend it where it will make more of a difference, on public transit.

Please don’t do this. I drive every day and I disagree that removing bike lanes would make traffic flow better. In fact the worst portion of my commute is where there is a lot of mixing of cars, bikes and parking.
I have noticed a huge problem on bloor street since All the bike lanes added. My west of Toronto has become unbearable to get around. The he proposed bike lanes on Keele will make things so much work. The cyclist are NOT going to work.

As someone who lives on Bloor, I use this bike lane every day. It allows me to safely access my grocery store, local markets, and run errands in my neighborhood. If the bike lane is removed, i will continue to bike on Bloor, due to convenience.

Hello,
Safety is paramount. Streets must be safe. For all.
All residents pay for the building and maintenance of streets in return for benefitting from its use. Roads are not reserved just for cars. Residents choose the best mode of travel - using their car, a bike, transit or walking.
