There are so many things wrong with this bill:
Bike lane reduces traffic, not the other way around. Removing bike lanes will force cyclists to start using cars, leading to more congestions.

As someone who has spent the better part of a decade living in the Toronto area and someone who, drives, walks, bikes and uses public transportation I can confidently say the following:
This proposal is unequivocally moronic and lacks any common sense whatsoever.

As someone who has lived near Bloor Street in the High Park area, I have personally seen the effects of separated bike lanes. In short, Bloor Street has improved immensely since their introduction.

Taking out the bike lanes that were just installed - this is NOT a good idea. The Ford government needs to listen to science, studies, facts, and professionals.

Our focus should be to move PEOPLE faster, not move drivers faster. Everyone deserves to get to where they need to be quickly, safely, and in an affordable manner. That’s not going to be accomplished by driving, and certainly not my highways.

This is an absolutely disgraceful piece of legislation; the lanes in question (Bloor/University/Yonge) serve thousands of residents, keeping them safe and separated from traffic. This allows all traffic, yes including cars, to flow more freely.

This bill is a silly overreach by provinces into municipal matters, and it's absolutely wild that the province is worrying at all about bike lanes instead of the severe issues in housing and healthcare afflicting the province.
I am an avid cyclist. I usually take KIng because its close to me but I do take bloor/danforth as needed. Im just going to take up the entire lane moving forward, as is my legal right. Got 'em. Lets slow that traffic down.
Do not remove the bike lanes. Do not create this new layer of government bureaucracy to install new ones. Bike lanes save lives and removing them puts lives at risk.

No city in the world in is moving AGAINST cycling. Go ask literally anyone who knows anything about urban planning what they think of waging a war on bike lanes.

Bike lanes are key to Ontario cities being more sustainable, environmentally friendly, and greener. They are also safer for Ontarians who choose to commute by bike. There is no academically rigorous evidence to support their removal.

There are dozens of bike lane studies, from Toronto and around the world. Not a single one reports cars congestion, quite the opposite. You found your cudgel and will keep at it in spite of no data indicating bikes cause congestion, anywhere, on earth.

I vehemently oppose the plan to remove bike lanes that are already built. It’s a waste of tax payer dollars and will result in roads that are less safe for pedestrians and cyclists.
This bill is an absurd overreach, backed by zero actual data. Cyclists on these roads will still use a vehicle lane, only with no safety infrastructure so the only impact will be increased cyclist injuries and fatalities.

As a longtime business owner and now homeowner in Toronto, the government and Premier's actions to unilaterally rip up bike lanes is an outrage. Such an action would br a public policy, economic, and environmental disaster.

The only thing that needs to happen is for Etobicoke to be restored as its own city again and not longer a part of the amalgamated city of Toronto. It was never a good fit. Etobicoke and Toronto do not get along and Holyday at city council votes no on 99% of any vote.
