Please do NOT take away the bike lanes on Bloor, College, University or any other downtown street! They are essential for safe riding for all those who use them. We need more and better biking infrastructure, not less!

This is a terrible idea. The gridlock in Toronto has nothing to do with bike lanes and everything to do with DEVELOPMENT in a city which does not have the infrastructure to support these new buildings. Read more

I find the approach to this puzzling. Most of the gridlock is on highways like the Gardner Expressway, Don Valley Parkway, 401, 404, and QEW. Yet these roads do not have bike lanes. The problem is that there are too many cars. Read more

Taking away our bike lanes will put so many people at risk! This is a ridiculous waste of time and tax payer money. Instead, please focus on reducing congestion by offering more ways to get around the city such as with public transport, walking, biking, etc, NOT BY CAR. Read more

This is a significant step back in providing safe transportation options to all municipalities of Ontario. Not only is this a corrupt move by the premier, it is on baseless evidence that cycling infrastructure causes gridlock on the streets. Read more

This bill should not go through. There have been numerous studies showing the removal of bike lanes does not reduce gridlock. In fact it makes it worse. We should be building more bike lanes not getting rid of them.

This is the first time in my life I have been incensed by a government bill, whether it be provincial, federal, or municipal. The government apparently wants to waste my tax dollars to tear up bike lanes that were JUST put in. Read more

BIKE LANES prevent congestion. The more traffic lanes that are put in, the more it appeals to people who may not otherwise have chosen to drive, thereby putting more cars on the roads and increasing congestion. Read more

I don’t live in Toronto, but I am aghast at the intention to rip up existing bike lanes there. First of all the province has no business interfering with municipal decisions. Secondly, spending taxpayer money to rip up bike lanes that are already installed is just idiotic. Read more

As a homeowner in Old Toronto, bike lanes (particularly on Bloor) means that I can commute in Toronto without using a car, reducing traffic. I HIGHLY disagree with this bill and will protest if it passes as this affects my quality of life significantly.

Bike lanes are not the problem. The residents of Toronto overwhelmingly want the bike lanes to stay on Bloor, Yonge, & University. The last thing we need is the provincial government exercising unnecessary oversight and trying to control something that is clearly a municipal issue. Read more

Please keep bike lanes on MAIN STREETS in Toronto, it reduces traffic and gridlock by getting people on alternative modes on transportation. It takes traffic off the roads.

The removal of the bike lanes outlined in this proposal will impact my safety. My bike is my means of transportation for work, shopping, entertainment. The Bloor, Avenue Road and Yonge Street bike lanes have been a godsend for city cyclists. Read more

I'm a resident of Toronto. I mostly use transit to commute to work, cycle when I need to get around the core and drive when I'm going further distances. I do not support removing bike lanes, especially the University, Yonge st and Bloor st lanes! Read more
