Removal of the bike lanes and the environmental assessments are going on the wrong direction. Focus should be in provincial issues such as doing the environmental agreements and improving healthcare
As a Torontonian, I find it unconscionable that the provincial government is meddling and overriding municipal infrastructure decisions. This decision will not only make it harder for commuters to move around, but it will make our streets more dangerous for cyclists.

I am appalled that I have to speak for the safety of our city and ask you to ensure that the Province reconsiders its position and keeps Toronto streets safe. Removing bike lanes will only make Toronto a more dangerous place to live and work.

I can think of 450 more pressing policy needs than this one and would encourage the government to act more responsibility with its time, power, and resources.
The main reason for congestion in our ever growing city is a combination of boxes at the crossings being constantly blocked, and a complete lack of law enforcement to discourage drivers from doing it.

Removing the bike lanes is such a terrible idea. They will just be replaced by parked cars in the right lane and left turning cars in the left lane making for a very stressful drive. A single lane for cars actually provides the space for left turn bays.

This is a completely unacceptable overreach of provincial government authority and will cost the city time, money, and years of gridlock as the bike lanes are removed.

I use these bike lanes to get around downtown every day. Ripping them out would be devastating. There are no factual or evidence based reasons that are being provided for this. Not a single great city in the world is ripping out bike likes...London, Paris, NYC, Tokyo, Madrid etc.
I use those lanes daily and to get to work. You're putting my life at risk for no proven benefit. Starting to wonder whether I have a future in this province.
In Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), traffic congestion is influenced by multiple factors. Here’s a look at the most prominent ones:

The identification of specific bike lanes to be removed without the due processes set out in the legislation seems to contradict the statement that "Approval will be based on a set of specified criteria, to be set out...".

Requiring the province to remove bike lanes on Bloor, Yonge and University is anti business and counterproductive for traffic concerns. Bike lanes have been shown in Toronto and many cities around the world to reduce transit time and overall satisfaction with city streets.

Removing bike lanes will not stop many cyclists from using their bikes for their commute as many do not own cars or prefer not to use public transit (due to its own long list of issues).

The province is overstepping. Why should the provincial government be allowed to police municipal infrastructure? Doug Ford lost the Toronto mayoral election and just because he has to drive down Bloor to get home doesn't mean that he should have a say in Torontonian affairs as Premier.

Bill 212, introduced by the Ontario government, sets an unwelcome precedent in provincial overreach and is entangling efforts to make streets safer in a culture war. Safe streets are not a partisan issue, we all stand for safe streets.
