I am writing to oppose the proposed bill that seeks to remove bike lanes in an effort to improve commuting speeds for vehicles. This measure, while well-intentioned, is counterproductive. Read more

Stop thinking so small guys. Build new highways AND roads with bike paths AND public transit AND more housing AND more industry - do it ALL Dougie. This is not a request.

How does this act actually accomplish eliminating gridlock on Hwy 400, Hwy 401 or DCP (Don Valley Parkway) by eliminating local decisions about bike lanes? simple answer it does not - current studies show that bike lanes improve a city & town's traffic patterns. Read more

I support removing all these useless bike lanes and having bylaws removed so that cyclists can ride on the sidewalks. They impede traffic and all the studies that say otherwise are based on European cities. Read more

there’s plenty of evidence that reducing cars on the road reduces traffic. there’s evidence that increases lanes does not solve rush hour, only more cars stuck during rush hour. bikes will still be on the road, but now taking up lanes. it’s ridiculous to remove bike lanes. Read more

I disagree with the proposal that building highways faster will reduce gridlock. I would rather see my tax dollars invested in better public transit and increasing road safety for all citizens including cyclists and pedestrians. I only began commuting by bike to my office on King St. Read more

I oppose this bill. Traffic regulations should be a municipal issue. Furthermore, bike lanes improve the long-term scalability of our transit infrastructure while expanding roads does not. It's easy to push for larger road expansions but it quickly becomes more expensive with diminishing returns. Read more

Reducing gridlock is a great idea, that can only be accomplished by increasing alternate transportation methods such as bike lanes, transit, and more walkable cities. Read more

Removing bike lanes will not reduce gridlock. Trains transit and more ways for people to get around are needed. Bikes improve health. Not to mention cities know what they need

We need more, not fewer, bike lanes. Having safe and segregated pedestrian and bike lanes increases the ability for people to safely and confidently travel. In addition, we don't need the province to dictate the will of the municipalities.

The provisions in this bill about the removal of bike lanes is a populist, unscientific PR stunt that is pandering to right wing voters in advance of a future election. Read more

I think that bike lanes promote a better urban environment for all. Motorists get most cyclists out of traffic lanes and know where to expect them. Cyclists get separated lanes, pedestrians get more distance between them and traffic. Read more

This is an insane idea and waste of money, similar to ripping out electric charging stations. This energy and money should be spent ensuring transit projects like Ottawa’s LRT and others get completed and have reliable service.
