This is a terrible idea. Bike lanes save lives and no evidence has been presented to show this will lower traffic. There is a subway under each of these roads. If people don’t want to sit in traffic they can take the subway.

This is completely backwards. Ripping up bike lanes will ADD MORE CARS TO THE ROAD. Further, the University bike lanes were put in at THE REQUEST OF THE HOSPITALS ON UNIVERSITY AVE. Read more

This proposed legislation is a complete overreach and overrides established municipal planning processes. Although it may be legal, it should not be within the province's purview to control how municipalities allocate space on their streets. Read more

I regularly drive on Bloor Street from Kipling to Roncesvalles. I drove eastbound on Bloor this afternoon from Windermere to Roncesvalles and there were no delays. Your government’s approach to reduce traffic seems to be adding capacity for more cars? There weren’t many people walking on Bloor. Read more

I disagree completely with the intent of this proposal. Ontario municipalities should have the autonomy to make decisions on active transportation within their jurisdiction, including bike lanes, to accommodate the needs of all residents and visitors. Read more

This bill is gross provincial government overreach into municipal government’s purview. Instead of focusing on the symptom (gridlock), both governments should focus on treating the disease by investing in efficient public transportation infrastructure, to get Ontario moving. Read more

Bike lanes need to be on major streets so that cyclists can safely access the businesses that primarily exist on them. Major streets are also often the only way to get between two locations in a reasonable way in Toronto proper. Read more

This is an asinine decision that is designed to hurt businesses along all bike lanes, not just carrier services including same day/hour parcel services, let alone meal services. But anyone who rides casually for meals, groceries, and alcohol. Read more

Acts like this will absolutely make our city worse, and for what. Petty anti-urbanite brownie points? I am a tech executive who could easily move to the US or elsewhere, but pay mid six figures of tax every year gladly because I love Ontario. Read more

As an avid cyclist, even in the winter, I worry that removing the bike lanes will require more cyclists to take the full traffic lane for safety, causing more issues. Read more

This proposal is wrong and should not go ahead. It will only increase congestion and endanger cyclists. Lawsuits will likely follow when the first cyclists are hurt in combined traffic.

A policy so backwards and stupid that future generations will curse Doug Ford and the PC government for setting us back and preventing real progress. Bicycles are entitled to take the entire lane on the road if needed and cars are supposed to pass bikes with a 1 meter gap. Read more

I want you to get rid of all the bike lanes downtown, especially on Bloor St. The cyclists are taking too much space on the road and are endangering drivers. I don’t like being stuck in traffic downtown because of these bike lanes. Read more

Absolutely wild to consider removing bike lanes. An enormous waste of time and money. Bike lanes will not fix the traffic issue. We need less cars on the road and better, safer options to get around. We need better public transportation. No one should be driving downtown if they can help it. Read more

Eglinton ave between Yonge and Allen has fragmented bike lanes that are useless due to lack of connectivity. These should be removed with traffic restored. Bike lanes should not be built on Eglinton near Allen. Read more
