I believe the jurisdiction of bike lanes should remain with municipalities. Because they naturally have a closer working relationship with the local community, that experience leads them to having a stronger hands-on knowledge and understanding of the needs of the local population. Read more

As a parent with two kids, cycling is my family's main mode of transportation. To save money, we do not own a car. The creation of bike lanes in cities has been an incredible improvement in quality of life and the safety of our children. Read more

I use my bicycle to and from work throughout the year, including the colder months. Without bike lanes and separated paths I simply wouldn’t feel safe. Travelling by bicycle takes one more car off the road. Read more

This proposal ignores years of research pointing to the fact that the more roads we have the more vehicular traffic we have. The answer is better public transportation and active transportation. Removing bike lanes increases GHG emissions and contributes to poorer health and higher health costs. Read more

This is a TERRIBLE idea. A world-class city like Toronto is not improved by making it harder to be a cyclist... This proposal has it backward. They should instead be putting energy into better public transportation.

I'm writing to express my deep opposition to the "Reducing Gridlock, Saving You Time Act", a proposal that poses a real and present danger to public safety by requiring municipalities to seek provincial approval to develop bike lanes if doing so would reduce car lanes. Read more

This proposal is fundamentally flawed and repeatedly the words used in it are biased towards drivers. Where is the inclusion of others affected by the proposal? People that live on this street will be affected. Do you think they want more cars in their neighbourhood? Read more

This is ridiculous government overreach. Ripping up existing bike lanes that are doing their job to protect all road users and pedestrians is a complete waste of money. As a driver and cyclist, I want to see MORE bike lanes, more complete streets, more car-free streets. Read more

This is the most backward direction possible! I want to live in a Province that is progressive! I wish that Ontario would be much more concerned about the safety, health, fitness and wellbeing of its citizens. Doug Ford…..get out of municipal politics!!!

The best way to reduce gridlock is to get more people on public transit and on bikes. This plan will not work to reduce gridlock, it will only put more people in cars. It makes no sense for bike lanes to be the responsibility of the province rather than the city. Read more

Our objective should be to reduce the number of cars on the road. Make the right choice the easy choice. Provide attractive alternatives such as frequent, reliable and affordable public transit. Read more

Giving people the opportunity to bike to work is healthy, economically viable and environmentally friendly. My current commute is 50 min drive. This includes traffic. If I were to bike in a protected bike lane, it would take me 55 mins. I would bike everyday if I had the choice. Read more

Reducing bike lanes is a moron's idea of progress. Bike lanes are fine and certainly, the municipality that contains it should be able to decide on its own whether the bike lane exists or not. This is a stupid and expensive overreach, something that will be the epitaph of this awful government.

This is gross negligence on the whole. Bike lanes reduce traffic, completely, but they also keep cyclists safe! Ontarian cyclists! And Ontarian drivers, too, because if cyclists are in their own lane and drivers pay attention to that, there will be less accidents. Do you even like Ontarians? Read more
