Please do not remove these critical bike lanes. They provide traffic relief from gridlock along major corridors by reducing reliance on larger modes of transport. The existing data confirms this conclusion. Please do not remove these critical bike lanes.
Unfortunately, the Ford government is trying to divert attention from the many problems Ontario suffers from, i.e. collapse of health care system, shortage of affordable housing, shocking rise of food bank usage, by a meaningless plan to attack bike lanes.

I use the Bloor ones everyday to get to work. Removing the downtown portion would mean I would take the lane in the middle of traffic and slow everyone down.
Please think this through. It makes no sense
Could anything be more idiotic than this proposal? Aside from the fact that the provincial government has no jurisdiction over city roads, all planning research has shown for decades that THE ONLY WAY to stop car traffic gridlock is to get people out of cars.

I live in uptown Toronto. I am in favour of the removal of the bike lanes, as proposed by the Premier. In particular, I am in favour of removal of the bike lanes on University Avenue (and other main arteries in the City such as Bloor, Yonge Street and now Avenue Road).

Remove the bike lanes and along Yonge, Bloor and University Avenue to free up the roads for cars. Congestion along Bloor West is awful and rarely do I see many bikers. They block parking and look ugly. Residents and business owners were not consulted before bike lanes were implemented.

Hello,
I am 100% against removing bike lanes in Toronto.
Has this government heard of climate change? We should be giving people options to get out of their cars, such as bike lanes.

This proposed regulation is an unwarranted incursion into municipal powers. Bike lanes than one person sees as creating a problem out of HIS driveway end up easing congestions for hundreds of others elsewhere in the system. The assessment of what is correct can only be done at the municipal level.
This is an awful idea. I live at Yonge and St Clair, the bike lanes are in use constantly. If those bikers moved into the car lanes, traffic would be slowed immensely.

I don’t agree with the new proposed legislation. I think it is best to allow municipalities to decide what’s best for their communities. Municipal infrastructure for bicycles should not be the be provincial business.
I am of the belief that the provincial government shouldn't have final decisions on what municipalities decide is best for their city's bike lane inferstructure. The cities go through many different processes to ensure whatever change they are making is made for the betterment of the city.

Toronto and Ontario are positioned to be world-class players. around the world cities are designing the urban landscape to accommodate multiple users – cars, pedestrians, cyclists, individuals in mobility devices.

There is no logic in this proposal. This will only increase congestion in Toronto, make the streets less safe and take away from local businesses. This is a complete waste of my tax dollars and too much government over site.
When driving to work the most congested part of the trip is generally along the DVP or Gardiner Expressway. Frequently my GPS redirects me across Bloor as the fastest route.
Please explain how the bike lanes are causing so much congestion that a street with bike lanes is faster than highways.
I am against this bill. Bike lanes keep people safe, and reduce our need for cars. I say this as someone who frequently drives a car and rides a bicycle.
I live in Toronto. I am a cyclist, a drive, and a motorcyclist. The Bloor, Yonge, and University bike lanes have made my travels safer — in *all three* of these modes of transportation! We need more, not less! Removing existing infrastructure will cost lives at the expense of minutes. Please don't.
Removing bike lanes is a waste of city resources and represents moving backwards versus towards a better future. It is not an equitable second only benefits car owners.
