I rely on the Bloor St bike lane to get to and from work safely and quickly. Every day, all year, I ride from East York down the Danforth, across the Don Valley, crossing Yonge, Bay, and University, before arriving at my workplace.

I am writing to express my concerns about the recent legislation in Ontario proposing to prohibit new bike lanes and review existing ones in favor of expanding car lanes. This move raises serious issues related to urban planning, environmental sustainability, and public health.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!! It is absolutely evident that these bike lanes have caused a lot of grid lock in the city, and it's a joke to sit in grid lock only to see the bike lanes completely empty!

As an avid cyclist this proposed legislation makes me feel as if I am not important. Bike lanes are a irreplaceable commute tool used by many to safely get around the city of Toronto. There is little evidence that gridlock will even be saved. Please reconsider this with full data.
Bike lanes reduce congestion. It's as simple as that. If we want more lanes then why don't we get rid of street parking? Every bike lane we add leads to fewer cars that don't need any local parking and fewer people who need on TTC.

I approve of bikes lanes. I do not cycle but the safety of cyclists should not be sacrificed for drivers. I have seen drivers do far more reckless actions and have almost been hit by a car multiple times while walking as a pedestrian in Toronto.

If you remove the bike lanes on Bloor, University and Yonge, all of the bike couriers are going use the lane which will make more traffic and more deaths. This is a terrible idea. What happened to the Eglinton LRT, Finch LRT and subway expansion?
I live in Toronto. This is a municipal issue that is clearly supported by the residents.
The province has no business interfering at this level and I suspect that this is a purely political and perhaps even a personal move by Ford. Leave the bike lanes alone.
This is so wrong-headed. We have known for a very long time that widening roads or adding more lanes for cars does not reduce traffic congestion. Roads are a public space. Priority should be given to those modes of mobility that utilize that space more efficiently.

Focus on the LRT projects that you cant get finished and leave the bike lanes alone. This is 10 steps back for the City and will backfire significantly.
As a Torontonian I am wholly against removing these bike lanes. These are well-used and have data backing up the efficiency of them. The provincial government is overstepping their boundaries because of a personal vendetta. Removing these or any other lanes will cause many cyclists to die.

I vehemently oppose the myopic proposal to destroy the already existing bike lanes along Bloor St., University Ave, and Yonge St. This legislation is a slap to the face of Toronto voters as it bypasses Toronto City Council and actively harms the city.

I live in Etobicoke near Bloor Street. I am very opposed to the removal of bike lanes in Toronto. Doing so will increase congestion. Look at the data. Foolish waste of tax dollars.
We need these bike lanes. The only way to get rid of car gridlock is to remove the parking spots as well which will hurt business. Please don't remove the bike lanes. We need more of them, not less.
It is obscene to go backwards like this.
We need to get more bikers out of my glorious SUV sized car lane and into their own tiny lane, not less.

As a automobile driver and someone who is greatly impacted by traffic grid lock I strongly disagree with the Province's approach on this matter. Bike lanes are very important to the safety of cyclists and providing an alternative and clean form of transportation.

I strongly disagree with the proposal to remove existing bike lanes on Bloor, Yonge and University. I am not a cyclist, but I am a driver. These lanes are newly built and increase safety for cyclists, pedestrians and motor vehicles.
