This is one of the most wasteful policy proposals I have ever seen in my life. Bike lanes save lives, they reduce gridlock, and they reduce carbon emissions. I have never seen a government so content to waste millions of dollars ripping up bike lanes that are already installed. Read more

This is a bad idea and is not in line with the policies in the Provincial Planning Statement, 2024, that just finished receiving comments (https://ero.ontario.ca/notice/019-8462). Read more

I am utterly disgusted at this proposal. Doug Ford needs to stay in his lane. What we need is better public transportation to reduce traffic congestion. Our transit system for being a world class city is pathetic. Our money should be going to improve public transit. Read more

Do not remove the bike lanes!’ It makes going and leaving downtown so much easier than taking TTC, Uber or other kind of transportation. This is absurd and waist of money after they’ve been on for a good chunk of time. Can’t believe we are going backwards towards more traffic and more emissions

The bike lanes in Toronto are absolutely crucial for the city - especially on the major axes like Bloor/Danforth, University etc. They allow so many people to bike safely instead of driving / taking TTC especially during rush hours. Read more

This proposed bill is BAD POLICY. It goes against years of extensive research on the many benefits of bike lanes, including the fact that safe bike lanes actually reduce congestion. Read more

This legislation is asinine and isn't backed up by urban planning research. Making people more reliant on space-wasting cars will make gridlock worse, not reduce it. This is grounded in nothing more than your usual suburban run-of-the-mill hatred of anything perceived as "progressive" or "liberal".

Diverse way of transportation is necessary for every city especially Toronto. I do not approve of Doug Ford removing bike lane. It will not fix the problem he thinks he will fix but just make it worse. Please stop him from removing the bike lanes.

As a driver, bike lanes keep me safe as well as cyclists. That said, I only drive when necessary. The answer to congestion is fewer cars on the road. What we really need is more public transit that is affordable and reliable. Canada is not reaching its GHG targets. Read more

Thank you for restoring sanity to Toronto's transportation system. My community of the Kingsway had been hijacked by the pro cyclist anti car faction causing major chaos and safety issues in my community. City councillors turned a blind eye to the community residents' concerns. Read more

Bicycles do not emit any greenhouse gases, and this help to lower the emissions on traffic roads. However, the existence of bike lanes on the roads that have subway lines, such as Bloor and Yonge Streets, does not add to the production of emissions. Read more

This is undemocratic and not based on any analysis and data. It’s is disappointing that the province and the governing party has stepped out of their lane so to speak. This will not have any impact other then reduce cycle safety, and something the city continues to invest in. Read more

Ridiculous, pandering to suburban voters and ignoring any evidence and studies that go against the ridiculous claim “bike lanes cause traffic.” Killing the planet discouraging people from environmentally concerns methods of transportation. Prioritizing drivers’ convenience over others’ safety.

Bike lanes whose implementation was carefully considered and funded by municipalities should be out of bounds for the province and the MTO who haven’t done ANY research or consultation with experts is outrageous. Read more
