Bike lanes can decrease traffic: it's that simple. Cars move a tiny fraction of the number of people bikes, transit, and walking move on major streets, especially in more central areas.

Premier Ford,
So I assume your next legislation will outlaw construction projects that obstruct Toronto traffic lanes for years at a time. And outlaw film shoots that obstruct lanes as well? Instantly tow courier vehicles that park illegally?

Removal of these bike lanes is an afront to the citizens of Toronto. Ford, you wanted to be mayor and Toronto didn't vote for you. Get over it.

This seems like overstepping on municipal toes.
Stop wasting money and time on dumb partisan things. Bike lanes are good for cities, they help keep commuters safe.
Spend your time and money fixing our schools and hospitals.
What a massive waste of money and time. Why is Doug Ford trying to push his personal agenda and act like the mayor of Toronto? You weren't elected as a mayor so stop roleplaying as one.

There are numerous studies from around the world that show bike lanes actually improve the flow of traffic once they have been established.
And there are studies that show if cars cannot change lanes the flow of traffic is improved.

This is a horrible bill. As someone who uses bike lanes in Toronto and feels safe using them I am incensed that this is what Ontario legislators are wasting taxpayer money on

This legislation is a horrible overstepping of provincial power into municipal issues. The explicit targeting of the Bloor Street, Yonge Street and University Avenue is the province of Ontario trying to exert influence over Toronto in unnecessary and harmful manor.

I am a frequent driver and occasional cyclist. I also travel a lot for a living. In my travels I’m always struck by how most city’s have overcome congestion and limits of the cities by DECREASING vehicle traffic and ENCOURAGING cycling, transit and other forms of transportation.

Please do not remove the bike lanes. The problem is not the bikes. The problem is the volume of cars. And the number of cars is only going up. So the system that is not working currently (eg. People driving single occupancy vehicles) will obviously continue to get worse.

I am a cyclist and I think this proposal is needlessly dangerous. That said, I intend to keep cycling - on major roads - no matter what. It's healthy, convenient and makes me feel happy to be alive.
Modern cities requires bike infrastructure, because they are getting really dense. We see this all around the world, so why can't Toronto, a world class city, get the same treatment?

I recommend this government read literally any reports on bike lanes before repeating their blatantly false statements as if they're fact.
Here is a link to a good report that could bring some light to the matter: https://tcat.ca/resources/bloor-street-economic-impact-studies/

They have no reason to take away bike lanes. It’s unsafe and won’t change traffic. Also it’s a waste of money. If you want to fix traffic finish the Eglinton line
I use the bike lanes daily for my commute. They are essential to my safety as a biker. Taking the bike lanes away will result in unsafe biking environment and will not solve the gridlock!
As a physician in Toronto working at 4 different downtown core hospitals I rely on the bike lanes to get to and from each site and provide optimal care.

I’ve personally benefitted from the safety That the bike lanes have provided on university and Bloor. I would never have used those roads if the bike lanes weren’t there.

These decisions should be made by the duly elected representatives of the city of Toronto. Additionally, if Premier Ford is going to insist on being a dictator to try and pretend like the city despises him, he should at least do so in a competent way.
