I am deeply concern how the contents of this bill related to the removal of existing bike lanes. These bike lanes were put in place under the direction of City Staff and elected members of Council. Read more

I cannot believe this is being pushed forward. It’s so obvious that removing these bike lanes will do nothing to relieve congestion. The Ford government knows this, the people of Toronto know this. Read more

The congestion on University south of College cannot be ascribed to bicycle lanes having been constructed. For months, construction of water mains along University and TTC construction on Queen had closed all traffic lanes but one in each direction. Read more

This addendum that is being proposed will be the opposite of saving time. As someone who drives, the bike lanes are effectively used and help my drives within the city be more efficient. Read more

I believe this is a most foolish move. I am not a cyclist, but feel that lives have been saved by the installation of bike lanes, and that their removal will have a singularly bad effect. Not only will this endanger cycling citizens, but drivers as well. Read more

Bike Lanes are for people that actually live in the community they serve. Traffic is caused by commuters, tourism, etc... Solve congestion with a congestion tax. Don't penalize people that actually live in the city that use alternate methods to get from point A to point B.

I strongly oppose this proposed legislation. I drive and cycle, and I am most comfortable driving when cyclists are in their own separated lane, and am safest when biking in a bike lane. Bikes need direct routes through cities as much as cars. Read more

Genuinely deranged behavior from politicians ignoring decades of studies and civil engineering experts. The only people who benefit from this are whatever cronies get no-bid contracts to remove the bike lanes after millions have already been spent to build them.
