Please do not go forward with this proposal. I am both a motorist and a cyclist and this makes no sense. I live just off a busy street(Montreal Rd) that recently had a lane removed to install bike lanes and it has not made any difference to traffic. Read more

It is essential that bike lanes remain, and in fact be expanded! We are in a climate emergency! When seniors and mothers with children are seen biking in bike lanes it is because they feel safe to do so! Imagine how many more people will do so. Read more

This bill should absolutely NOT be passed. Not only do bike lanes make streets safer for everyone, but removing/barring them will not stop the majority of cyclists from using major streets thus resulting in higher risk of accidents. More lanes do not mean less congestion. Read more

No, how in the world would getting rid of bike lanes reduce gridlock? It will just force more people to drive making for more cars on the road leading to INCREASED gridlock.

This proposed bill is a huge overreach from the provincial government, which should not be dictating to municipalities how they can or cannot allocate municipal road space to the various forms of traffic. Read more

Affordability - Riding a bike is much cheaper than driving, and this government says it wants to make life more affordable. Time saving - More bikes = less traffic. A bike beside you is not a car in front of you. Research does not show increased traffic congestion when bike lanes are installed. Read more

This is an absurd use of time and effort. We should be encouraging further bike lanes, not removing them. Bike lanes don't cause gridlock, too many cars on the road cause gridlock. More bike lanes, more safety for cyclists, will have fewer cars on the road and therefore less gridlock.

The Ministry of Transportation has its responsibility to manage and maintain the provincial road network. There is no place for provincial legislature to dictate how municipal roads are managed. This falls under the jurisdiction of the municipalities and their tax paying residents. Read more

The underlying notion of this legislation is that bike lanes shouldn't take away lanes for cars and assumes that bike lanes somehow contribute to traffic congestion. This is not true or factual. This assumption may be extended to infer that streetcars slow traffic. Read more
