Removing bike lanes will result in more cyclist accidents, and lives lost.
Sharing a CBC article on the number of cyclists killed in this city this year.

My family lives in Summerhill-Rosedale (north of Bloor, south of St. Clair) in one of the many "landlocked" neighborhoods that rely solely on Yonge Street as the only means of ingress and egress.

This is wasteful and outrageous. Toronto voters voted for mayors and councillors who supported bike lanes for a reason. For some of us, including me, cycling is our main means of commuting downtown.

This is a bad idea. The character of the neighbourhoods have become significantly better since the introduction of the bike lanes. The safety of the neighbourhoods are much improved too.

This is one of the most important East-West bike lines in the city, you never see bikes on the bike line, cause there is no such thing as "traffic on the bike line", the people voting against it are clearly not bike riders.

Stop interfering with City business. The bike lanes are great and do not delay traffic significantly at all… this has been proven. It is totally none of your business how we run our city. Just stop!
Please don’t do this, bike lanes get me to and from work safely so that I can make it home to my family every day. It’s not perfect but getting rid of bike lanes isn’t the solution, I doubt it’ll even make a significant difference in traffic times.
There is zero evidence that bike lanes improve traffic, nor the wellbeing of residents and drivers. This is an overreach of the provincial government and the bike lanes should not be removed.
There is no sound, academically supported economic, political or social argument in favor of reducing bike lanes. Indeed, the evidence points in the other direction.

Bike lanes are an important part of road infrastructure, and it encourages commuters to use bicycles rather than driving a car. This actually helps reduce traffic. Furthermore, many people will continue to use bikes even without a dedicated lane.

As someone who uses the bike lanes to commute into the city from Etobicoke, this bill will directly result in increased danger to myself and other cyclists. I am strongly opposed to the removal of bike lanes on Bloor St.
I am writing to express my opposition to Bill 39, which limits the decision-making authority of municipalities regarding street safety and infrastructure. This bill disrupts the autonomy of local governments and undermines their ability to make informed decisions that best serve their communities.

I live on Indian Grove, right near Keele and Bloor. I regularly travel along Bloor by car, walking, cycling and using the subway. I would ask that you please not remove the Bloor St bike lane between Jane and the Don Valley Parkway.

This is an egregious waste of time, effort, and money. Removing out bike lanes in dense areas is absolutely backwards; biking saves carbon emissions, reduces the amount of people travelling by cars, and promotes healthy living.
