Traffic congestion has economic impacts. It is making our housing crisis worse. It causes people to lose time and money commuting long distances over long hours. Read more

This Policy is wasteful, anti health and unfair to the residents who reside and pay their taxes in this area and use the bike lanes. When Provincial policy encroaches on Municipal authority we are headed in the wrong direction. Read more

I bike to my downtown Toronto job every day on the bike lanes on Bloor and University and I use the Yonge bike lanes on a weekly basis. I cannot afford a car and removing them would have a significant negative impact on my daily life.

There is no evidence that removing bike lanes will help alleviate traffic. This is a reactionary policy to appease suburban voters. Ripping out Toronto's newly built bike lanes is an incredible waste of taxpayer money and the province is overstepping into local issues. Read more

I adamantly DO NOT support the removal of bike lanes. We are in a climate crisis and need more sustainable ways of getting around. The Ontario government is not in charge of Toronto's bike lanes - that is a municipal issue. Read more

Please keep these bike lanes as I use them to ride in to work and back home at the end of the day. Removing them won't relieve congestion. Take a look at the 400 series highways (401, 403, 427) - they don't have bike lanes yet they are still congested during rush hour.

The provincial government has downloaded the responsibility of designing, constructing, and maintaining urban road networks to municipalities. The province does not have the technical staff to make a decision about optimizing moving city residents around in their own City. Read more

I do not believe that the province should spend its time telling municpalities how to best serve the needs of their citizens when it comes to city road use and the needs of vulnerable road users. Read more

Removing bike lanes is removing accessibility to people who can't afford cars and who cannot afford to take public transit that is almost never reliable and impacts their work. Read more

Hello??? Induced demand, anyone? The environmental implications of this bill are an increase in vehicular traffic on the streets in question, which will result in a net increase in GHG emissions, thereby accelerating global warming, albeit to a miniscule extent. Read more

I cannot possibly understand why we would remove bike lanes. This infrastructure allows a safer way for people to travel without having to occupy a car or use the unreliable public transit. It is environmental mode of transportation for people of all ages and inclusive for people who can't drive. Read more

It's already been proven in Europe that bike lanes do not contribute to vehicle congestion. I find it appalling that the Conservative government refuses to listen to experts or acknowledge actual data on this subject. Sadly it seems this government has a record of this during their time in office. Read more

The Province of Ontario should not be regulating bike lanes. The decision to build them should belong to the cities and their elected representatives who are better in a position to make the right choices for their direct constituents, not Gvt of Ontario officials. Read more
