Removing bike lanes on Bloor West, Yonge and University, as referenced in the amendment of October 31, 2024, will not reduce congestion, but will increase risk to public safety, and is an alarming move away from evidence-based practices. Read more

This is a ridiculous idea, the bike lanes prevent congestion not contribute to it. The province should be looking to reduce the amount of traffic by reducing the need for cars in cities, not this.

No, stop interfering with municipal efforts to save our planet and support healthy, environmentally-friendly transit options. More lanes are PROVEN to increase, not reduce, congestion. Read more

Frankly, I am furious at the idea of the province removing the bike lanes in Toronto. Toronto's bike infrastructure is the best of any city in Canada, and is such a major part of us being a world class city. Read more

This is an absolutely wretched idea that will put lives in danger and make pollution even worse. Cycling is my main way of getting around the city and protected bike lanes make it safe and enjoyable to do so. The idea that taking them away is a good thing is absolute nonsense. Read more

As a resident and employee in the City of Toronto, the lanes reserved for bike lanes are critical not just for current cyclists but also planning for future developments in Transportation. Read more

So disappointed in this bill. I am a lifelong conservative voter and supporter of Doug ford. I will no longer support him and tell all my friends and family in the greater Toronto area not to if this bill passes. Read more

I am strongly opposed to this proposal, which would not only restrict local authority over bike lane projects but also potentially lead to the wasteful removal of recently completed bike lanes. Read more

It is important to look at different ways to reduce traffic and that's worth praising. Removing bike lanes however is not one of them. In fact adding more lanes creates what is known in transportation industry "induced demand" were more drivers will come to use them. Read more

I strongly oppose this bill. I use these bike lanes every day in my commute to work. If they are removed, my commute will take significantly longer if I need to cycle around pedestrians, or will become significantly more unsafe if I need to cycle on the street. Read more

Having the Province of Ontario run roughshod over an area of Municipal jurisdiction by adding additional red tape to the bike lane approval process is very problematic. However, to have the government actively rip out safe street infrastructure is totally unacceptable as a tax paying citizen. Read more

I'm infuriated Doug Ford and Pier Pioilievre would meddle in another government's affairs. Adding more expenses to the city of Toronto, adding more work and $ to provincial government? No thanks! Get out of the way DF and PP. Let cities do their thing. Let bikers bike. Read more
