I am happy to hear that the Province of Ontario is going to restrict and monitor where bike lanes can be placed. For example, the City of Mississauga wants to remove one lane of traffic in each direction on Bloor Street to insert bike lanes.

This bill is completely unnecessary and dangerous for many reasons. Firstly, the Ford government boasts itself of cutting red tap, ensuring Ontario is open for business and making it easier to build homes and infrastructure that is needed.

I live in Mississauga near the proposed Bloor Street bike lanes. Our neighborhood has rallied together in strong opposition of these bike lanes. In this section of Bloor between Central Parkway and Etobicoke it is currently two lanes each way.

Bloor lane reductions was the worst idea ever. TY for restoring these lanes. Now I will go back to the businesses I abandoned after traffic was not worth the drive
Bike lanes are important because they create safer, more accessible spaces for cyclists, which benefits everyone on the road. For my wife and me, dedicated bike lanes give us the freedom to explore our city actively and safely without worrying as much about traffic.

I'm in favour of Prenier Ford's plans on not permitting bike lanes to be put in place at the cost of a lane of traffic. They are trying to get that done in Mississauga and I'm 100% against it.
This is an overreach by the provincial government. Local municipalities should have the control they need to implement new bike lanes. Research has shown time and time again that bike lanes improve the economic health of a city.

Thankfully some sanity. Mississauga Council does not work for it's electorate and is hell bent on making travel difficult. Mississauga was built by people far better than them. People that blessed us with wide roads and open spaces. All being torn up by incompetent fools. Thank you Premier Ford.

Can the government of Ontario please look into and maybe learn more about the concept of induced demand? It's been pretty well researched already. Just Google it, please, there's so much info on this.

Have any of the moronic cabinet members ever heard of aggregate demand? This will only create more congestion since it provides an incentive for more motorist. Something tells me this is a conflict of interest and is all about Dog Ford’s personal commute, though.

The government has the wrong priorities. Younger people who are future basis of our work force have embraced alternative transportation forms such as cycling and are now demanding that the roadways be made safer. That includes creating dedicated bike lanes.

It’s disappointing to see a policy that adds bureaucratic delays to local infrastructure decisions. Cities understand their needs best—let’s support efficiency by empowering local decision-making.
Premier Ford, great decision to engage. Mississauga's attempt to reduce a busy 4 lane road (Bloor St.) to 2 lane with a shared left turn lane, while adding not 1, but 2 bike lanes, in a rapidly growing community would be VERY short sighted!!!

I think it is ridiculous to take away bike lanes. We need to have more. It is a safety issue and a proven fact that lives are saved by separating bicycles and cars.
We should be looking forward and taking lessons from other cities in the world not moving backwards.
