Removing the bike lanes is a complete waste of taxpayer money. I live on Bloor St and the bike lanes have made the neighborhood better. There is no impact to businesses or traffic. If anything traffic improved. Read more

I take these bike lanes in Toronto to work every single day. The construction on these lanes was JUST finished after months of disruptions. PLEASE do not remove them. This is such a destructive set of actions.

As a family, we are strongly against the removal of bike lanes. The removal would be a waste of taxpayer dollars that could be better served in other areas. Read more

Ridiculous nonsense posturing that ignores the actual evidence. Waste of resources and money to even table this proposal. https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/5c0e5848e5274a0bf3cbe124/latest-evidence-on-induced-travel-demand-an-evidence-review.pdf Read more

Doug's vicious threat to remove bike lanes is going to KILL cyclists. CITIES, not the provincial government, know where bike lanes do and don't belong. Stay out of our local business, Queen's Park! Read more

Why stop at bike lanes? Get rid of parking on all major thoroughfares and create one way roadways to facilitate traffic flow (the writer says sarcastically). Read more

As a resident of Toronto, I firmly support bike lanes, even when they require removal of a traffic lane. Data shows that bike lanes reduce gridlock, not cause them. Read more
