Bike lanes encourage cycling, which reduces vehicle traffic. Slowing down the process of approval for creating new bike lanes in municipalities and of removing existing cycling infrastructure will put more cars on the road and more cyclists in danger.

This proposal is a complete farce intended to appease suburban conservative voters with no consideration for people who actually live in cities and utilize bike lanes in their daily lives.

Bike lanes do not create gridlock or slow traffic down, it's a false belief. Too many vehicles and obstacles (please read traffic studies) are what slow traffic down. A cyclist is one less car. Walking and cycling are rights, driving is only a privilege.

To be frank, this is one of the stupidest pieces of legislation I've ever heard of. It will have the opposite effect, given that many studies show that increasing bike usage decreased traffic.

With the removal of province bike lanes, this will force cyclists to commute in their cars causing more grid lock because it will become too dangerous to cycle without a bike lane. More cyclists will end up in hospitals and this will be more costly.

I am in my late 60s and have ridden my bike, and driven a car in Toronto for my entire life. I have always been safety conscious, but have had many close calls riding my bike.

This proposal is a terrible idea. Doug Ford gave the Mayors of all Ontario municipalities the right to make decisions independently of council, but now he is overriding both the Mayors and the Councils, and insisting that he is the only one allowed to make decisions?? This is a terrible idea.

This is a badly thought out piece of legislation that appears to have been proposed for electoral purposes that focus upon voters from the outer suburbs, even though it will not significantly reduce the gridlock that is caused by inadequate public transport, Incompetently managed construction proje

I think this is a very poor initiative. It has been proven through countless studies that bike lanes are not the primary reason for congestion in cities. In fact they promote a healthier, more mobile population.

I am opposed to many of the provisions in this bill and saddened by the political culture wars that are driving this. When you let hate out of pandora’s box, it is hard to reign it back in.

Bike lanes allow cyclists to move more safely throughout the city. They stop easily preventable deaths and also provide a buffer between pedestrians on the sidewalks and the fast cars on the road.

Bicycle riders are more vulnerable road users. How are you going to keep them safe? It is healthier to ride a bike and uses less space. If there is no bike lane then bicycles ate entitled to take the lane and that would slow traffic.

This doesn’t make any sense. Toronto is a great city where it is such a pleasure to ride your bike, it encourage people to go to downtown and explore new area. You will definetely collapse downtown and kill the dynamic of the city if you give back 100% of it to cars.
This bill will directly kill dozens, if not thousands, of people when cars and bicycles are improperly managed. Bike lanes are a vital source of infrastructure to an evolving city, directly benefit local businesses, and allowing people an efficient alternative to city traffic.

If Doug Ford and his government were serious about reducing congestion they would be building more bike lanes. Bike lanes free up space on the roads by reducing the number of cars which use a disproportionate amount of road space. Adding car lanes has been shown to not speed up traffic.

Study after study has shown that the only way to improve traffic is to provide superior alternatives. If the bike lanes are not working you need to improve the bike lanes and other public transit infrastructure.
