This is truly terrible policy. Removing these lanes will put the hundreds of people use these lanes daily in danger and will not improve the movement of motor vehicles. Read more

Thank you! Finally, a government with common sense. Please also get rid of the bike lanes on Eglinton. Also, it is impossible to get out of downtown. There should be one road like King St. that is used for street cars and a bike lane. But why is Adelaide one lane (it is a one way street)? Read more

This is a significant overreach on behalf of the Ontario Government and MTO, a tremendous waste of taxpayer dollars and a move that will put peoples lives in danger. Read more

How are we supposed to get anywhere safely now if the bike lanes are removed? Most of us don’t want to be on a packed TTC vehicle with Covid and the flu circulating - not to mention you can’t get on during rush hour. Read more

I don't see why the provincial government should have final say on municipal bike lanes and i the idea of them ripping up existing bike lanes is infuriating. We need MORE bike lanes, not fewer. More and more people use bikes for transport and the more streets with bike lanes the safer we all feel. Read more

This is a matter of municipal governance and not something the provincial government should concern itself with. Local elected representation makes these decisions and, if voters disagree with bike lanes, they will elect candidates who reflect this view. Read more

I am strongly opposed to any legislation restricting the ability of municipalities to install bike lanes on their own streets. The separated bike lanes on Yonge, Bloor, and University have helped to make my commute to work both faster and safer. Read more

This proposal is unhinged. As a resident of Toronto, I was so happy when we got protected bike lanes in my neighbourhood. I suddenly could go and visit a lot of businesses in east York and Scarborough with the woodbine lane. I could for the first time, also ride across town on Bloor. Read more

i ride my kids to daycare, i ride to work, i ride to get groceries. Drivers are distracted and aggressive enough, I'm literally going to die without the bikelanes. I don't want a die, I don't want my kids to not have a mom, i don't want my friends and family to suffer. Read more

This added addendum to this bill is extremely concerning - as it feels like a provincial over reach to enforce decisions on city-planning decisions for municipalities? Read more

This entire bill is ludicrous. The province should absolutely not be involved in where bike lanes go in municipalities. Let the municipalities do the due diligence and planning work and stay out of their way. The Province should also NOT be tearing out bike lanes in Toronto that keep people safe! Read more

This proposed legislation is wrong headed and short sighted. I drive everyday for work and appreciate that bikes have their own lane especially on Bloor st. It is safer for drivers and cyclists and allows everyone to move safely and consistently along the corridor. Read more

When Doug Ford got elected, I remember him proposing policies that would limit government overreach. He talked about red tape reduction and reducing regulation. Should I be surprised that he has apparently reneged on this promise and decided to override the voices of Toronto residents? Read more

Preventing or removing bike lanes is a colossal leap backwards for this province. Ontario has lagged behind in biking infrastructure compared to other provinces and states in North America. To remove what had taken years to complete is an utter disappointment. Read more
