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

The bike lanes on Bloor are absolute nonsense. They make it dangerous to park and are an environmental disaster with nothing but idling cars, and underused by bikers. Read more

This is a terrible bill. It will cost the safety and lives of residents of cities around Ontario. Active transportation options are critical to any growing city. This bill is not based on real evidence of how bike lanes impact businesses and urban landscapes. Read more

If it wasn't bad enough that the province is interfering in the provision of new bike lanes, the amendment to remove existing infrastructure is heinous. The only way to reduce gridlock in downtown Toronto is to reduce the number of motor vehicles. Read more

I absolutely do not support this proposal. It seems like a waste of government resources that will only serve to make streets more dangerous for bikers and drivers alike.

Yesterday I was out looking at Halloween decorations on West Toronto. We saw two people almost hit by cars at intersections. We also saw a fantastic and fun Neon Ride from a group of bikers. Read more

Undemocratic. What a disrespect to the Planning process and othe municipal administration. Inducing demand by adding more lanes does NOT relieve traffic, as proved by traffic engineering research. Also, people should have the freedom to travel by whatever mode they please. Read more

Forcing municipal governments, which were elected by their people, to remove bike lanes is pure spite. Publish a study showing a definitive increase in traffic with the root cause being bike lanes. If you cannot, then you prove this is about culture war and catering to a base that hates Toronto. Read more

This bill is a huge waste of taxpayer money. The province should not be interfering with cities this way. Let cities decide what is best for them and stop wasting time, money, and resources!!!

I bike regularly with family, which includes young children. Without these protected bike lanes, when I take my children out I will have to drive instead, adding yet another vehicle to the road. Read more
