This is terrible legislation on multiple levels. First, it is an absurd overreach of provincial power. Why is the province wasting its time and resources micro managing municipalities? Second, ripping out existing bike lines is a complete waste of taxpayer money. Read more

Bike lanes have been proven to reduce overall traffic and congestion. I don’t want to rip out the bike lanes, doing so would lengthen my commute as someone as someone who takes the bus or drives. Don’t undo the investment and progress we made. Read more

Removing or restricting bike lanes is completely antithetical to all attempts to move people more efficiently. Putting more cars on the road does nothing to move people more quickly. We need options that move people in a more efficient manner. Read more

Bike lanes and streets should be managed by local municipal governments. If the citizens of Toronto wish to remopve bike lanes, bike lane removal should be an issue in the municipal election. Please focus efforts on improving regional transit, health care, provincial economy and education.

Please DONOT remove bike lanes. Bicycles do not create congestion, cars do. Keep cyclists safe by preserving - and even building more - bike lanes. Better for wear and tear on the streets, better for the health of individuals, better for noise levels, better for the environment. Read more

The minimally used bike lanes on Yonge Street and Bloor Street are causing significant congestion and overall frustrations for motorists who have no other option then to drive. A bike lane that takes up a lane of traffic in an already densely populated city is a poorly designed one. Read more

This is an absolutely ludicrous proposal. The only solution to car traffic is viable alternatives to driving. I will repeat it again - the ONLY solution to car traffic is viable alternatives to driving. Read more

Please do not remove the bike lanes in Toronto, I use them daily for commuting and it reduces the amount I drive. If anything remove parked cars on main roads and increase transit access to reduce congestion.

I've been a resident of the west end of Toronto (Lansdowne and College) area for 27 years and most of that time I've been a cyclist but in the last 5 years I've also become a car owner. Read more

The proposed legislation requiring municipalities to obtain provincial approval to implement new bike lanes that would remove existing car lanes is based on flawed assumptions about how to address traffic congestion. Read more

Legislation should be backed by verifiable data. This legislation is not. According to Toronto's deputy fire chief Jim Jessop, emergency vehicle response times have actually improved since the installation of bike lanes. Data indicates these roads are safer. Read more

I use the newly constructed bike lanes on a daily basis, as do many of my peers and colleagues who wish for greener future. Accessible bike infrastructure is integral to the growth and development of Toronto.

This plan does not sound like it will work. I believe this will be a waste of money over a bunch of bs political nonsense. Allow cities to decide on bike lanes and find ways to reduce traffic from someone with a relevant education.

Ripping out existing bike lanes so that cars and trucks will have more lanes for so called easing congestion is a waste of taxpayer's money! It is often more expensive to rip out bike lanes than it is to build good biking infrastrucure. Read more
