I do not understand the problem that you are trying to solve. I drive a car every day, and I have never had a problem with bicycle lanes. I also ride a bike occasionally, and I would appreciate having protected lanes on busy roads for my personal safety. Read more

Bicycle lanes reduce congestion. I would drive more in Toronto if I didn't have a bike. On streets without a bike lane, cyclists are entitled to an entire lane of the road, and we have to to be able to use the road safely. Read more

This looks like it goes against expert's reserch into the concepts of diverse means of transport and "induced demand". Why? This will hurt small business and only make traffic (and pollution) worse.

I am a Toronto, Ontario resident. I am a car owner and have first-hand experience of the gridlock and infuriating traffic in the Greater Toronto Area. I have also experienced the increase in motor vehicle travel time with the addition of bike lanes. Read more

The "Framework for bike lanes" is misguided in both process and effect. On process, local municipalities are best positions to make decisions about local and regional roads. Local councils are elected and accountable to their constituencies. Read more

This is a disgusting amount of government overreach for all of the wrong reasons. Fix healthcare. Fix education. Fund what we need or get out of office and let competent adults do the job.

It is an incredibly bad idea to rip apart bike lanes that have been put in place with money and time invested. Ripping them apart means cyclists will use standard lanes, which will cause more traffic and be dangerous. Read more

The only way to reduce congestion for motor vehicles is through providing viable alternatives to driving. Through the use of very little space and tax dollars, protected bike lanes provide a safe and extremely efficient alternative to driving. Read more

I am extremely concerned about the provincial government's overreach into municipal problems by controlling the approval of new bike lanes, and removing existing lanes in certain areas. Read more

Cities know the needs of their taxpayers better than the province does. They are responsible for roads and transportation planning. They should have power to do what is right for their cities not a one size fits all decree from the province when it comes to bike lanes. Read more

As someone who mostly travels by bicycle in Toronto, I voted for municipal politicians who know the city best and are able to best decide where it is best to add complete streets with bicycle lanes in the city. Read more

I am a resident of the west end of Toronto with 3 children, and I regularly drive, bike and use public transit to get around the city. My children all bike regularly, and my oldest son bikes to and from school every day. Read more

Adding more red tape for construction of bike infrastructure is not going to solve traffic problems. Bike lanes increased safety for everyone and speed up traffic by reducing the number of cars on the road. Read more

It is truly ridiculous to be proposing to remove bike lanes! They are necessary for safe transit by bicycle which is the fastest, cheapest and least polluting means of transport for trips under 10 km in Toronto. The Netherlands is a great example to follow.
