This really is poorly thought out. Removing bike lanes is a temporary fix, if that. It will both encourage and force more people to use cars. There are only so many lanes of traffic you can squeeze into an urban environment. Read more

I do not support ant efforts to reduce bike lanes in downtown Toronto. I’ve lived in downtown Toronto for more than 35 years and have had a bike lane on my street for most of that time. Read more

This is wrong. Need more bike lanes so that it is safer for bikes to go around. More bikes means less cars on streets Also please finish the existing transit and get more transit lines in the south west of Toronto especially south Etobicoke.

A couple of huge issues front and centre with this proposal. While gridlock is a huge problem and we as Ontarians should be duly concerned, the proposal is rife with bad policy. Its quite honestly terrible. Anyone that both drives and cycles will agree. Read more

I use the bike lanes in Toronto to get to work, school, parks, and places to shop (groceries, places of recreation, etc.). It is an important part of my commute, and this bill would fundamentally worsen congestion and harm the environment across this province, both now and in the future. Read more

Everything in this bill is the contrary to what will actually help reduce traffic, we don’t need more highways, we need different ways for people to get around the GTA and beyond. You want less traffic, get less cars, you want less cars guns different transit methods. Read more

Gridlock can only be solved by removing cars from our roads. We need more public transit, more bike lanes. Removing bike lanes is not the right thing to do. Encourage people to give up their cars especially downtown Toronto. Very few people need to drive a private car downtown Toronto. Read more

Where is the evidence that this will be net helpful? Cyclists are commuters, too. It's not reasonable to block the addition of all bike lanes just because you feel like some bike lanes in Toronto are underutilized.

I whole heartedly agree with this campaign. The city of Toronto , Hamilton, and Scarborough have gone crazy with illogical bike lanes and a nonsensical WEF agenda. A country with 8 months of the year covered in snow is not a country that bike lanes make sense. Read more

Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this significant change to tax-funded municipal streets. I am concerned for the safety of myself and others that rely on bike lanes as their main affordable option for transportation. Read more

This bill will send Ontario backwards 30 years. The science and data is clear, if you want to improve traffic flow for those in cars, the only way to do that is to encourage some people to take alternative modes of transportation. This includes active and public transit. Read more

Removing a regions ability to create bike lines and adding more bureaucracy and red tape to these efforts is terrible! Cars have been prioritized since the beginning of time. Read more

I support this. Removing vehicle lanes for bike lanes will only increase gridlock in my community (Kitchener-Waterloo). I support adding additional hurdles to do so. I know local cyclists complain about the difficulties of getting around on their bikes. Read more

This bill is literally backwards! We need more bikes and fewer cars if we're going to make any progress towards fighting climate change. As an added bonus, bikes help people stay healthy as well as move them around. Read more

"Saving You Time" Act - who is "You"? Sounds like it's only intended to help private car owners. How does ripping up bike lanes and preventing new ones save time for the many thousands who choose to bike round the city? They have to get into cars, taxis and Ubers instead ... Read more
