This government makes many mistakes but this is one of the dumbest yet. Removing bike lanes will have no impact on traffic flow. In other jurisdictions this has been documented many times. GTA traffic problems are caused by inadequate transit choices and construction. Read more

Removing bike lanes will be counterproductive for the stated goal of reducing gridlock. Those commuting by bike will still need to travel. They will do so either by bike in the main lane (both disruptive and dangerous) or pack the streets in cars. Read more

Bike lanes should be a city responsibility. Cities have their own experts and long term studies focused on this specific problem. The province should not involve itself in decisions of the city. It is over reach. Furthermore, requiring the removal of bike lanes by cities is costly and un necessary. Read more

Your decision to remove bike lanes arbitrarily is short sighted and pro car. Instead of working with municipalities to come to a solution for congestionsDoug the thug is being heavy handed. Why don’t you concentrate on improving public transportation. Read more

I believe this bill is a massive overreach of provincial jurisdiction and is fundamentally flawed in it's application, lacking any data-driven policy. All available evidence points to bike lanes reducing gridlock and most importantly, saving lives. Read more

Dear Doug & team, I want the bike lanes. They help traffic, keep people safe, improve the environment, etc. Keep existing bike lanes and let municipalities choose where to build more! Read more

Bike lanes are an integral part of the City of Toronto. They allow residents to get wherever they may be going quick and efficiently (not to mention environmentally). The added bike lanes have made it much safer for people to ride their bikes, DECREASING the amount of cars on the road. Read more

If passed, not only will this bill make cycling more dangerous in the city of Toronto, but also possibly increase gridlock by tacitly encouraging more people to use their cars to get around. Read more

I implore the government to listen to the experts here. There is no basis in their claim that it is singularly the bike lanes on these three roads causing congestion. There is a complete lack of understand of how proper analysis would and should be carried out. Read more

This makes zero sense. Bike lanes reduce traffic, by removing potential car drivers from the road. Getting rid of bike lanes, makes it unsafe to bike in the city, and makes it more likely people will drive instead. Read more
