I am concerned that this bill is an inappropriate use of taxpayer funds to remove previously installed bike lanes. Taxpayer money would be better spent on speeding up construction and enforcing traffic violations
"We have to do everything we can to make sure there’s never a death in the city. One death is way too many when it comes to bicycle riders. We have to make sure that they’re safe."

Cycling is a major form of transportation for people in Toronto. People are not just cycling for pleasure, they are trying to get to work or get their kids to school just like the drivers are.

My children and I use bike lanes to commute to school in downtown Toronto. Removing existing lanes is a ridiculous waste of funds and will not fix the traffic issues -- it will just make our commute unsafe, and add another car to the traffic since I'm not going to risk their lives.

Safe bike lanes are an essential part of any city. The existing bike lanes have reduced cyclist fatality and made biking for myself and my family a safe and reliable option of transportation.

Removing bike lanes will not reduce congestion, and will discourage new riders.
I use the bloor and university lanes year round, and while I have the ability to drive choose to use my own bike or bike share for the majority of my transit around the city

The removal of lanes on bloor st west has created gridlock at all times of day. Not just rush hour. With very little bike traffic using these lanes.

I’ve lived by Bloor and Ossington before and after the addition of Bike lanes. This bill is very concerning to me. The car lane that was removed was never a through traffic lane. It was always blocked by parked cars.

There is no basis to remove bike lanes. Separating a 25-30 km/h bikes/escooters from 40km/h traffic isn’t just safer, it’s common sense.
The biggest traffic issue on University has nothing to do with bikes, but a traffic programming issue that causes backup on cars turning on Elm.

If Premier Ford wanted to remove bike lanes in Toronto, he should have run for mayor or councillor. This is an abject waste of provincial political time and effort.
Hi, I am posting this in overwhelming support of keeping the existing bikelanes along Bloor, university, and college. As someone who lives on Bloor Street I have directly seen the improvement that the bike lane installation has caused in my intersection of Bloor/Islington.

Removing bicycling lanes will do nothing to help alleviate gridlock and traffic. The driving habits and disregard of the HTA of Ontarians are a bigger cause, alongside constant construction projects around the city.
Removing bike lanes in Toronto would be a counterproductive step that could ultimately reduce traffic flow and negatively impact the city’s livability and accessibility. Bike lanes serve as a dedicated, safe space for cyclists, allowing them to avoid the main flow of vehicle traffic.

Getting more cars off the roads is the best way to support the environment as well as save people time on their commutes. We need to invest in alternatives to car traffic like cycling and public transit.
