I strongly disagree with any removal of bike lanes in Ontario. Bike lanes provide so much to a city and are forward thinking. They’re integral to getting people out of their cars.

This is spiteful, Draconian legislation that will set back road safety and lead to more needless cyclists' deaths and destruction of families, in favour of private motorists with an axe to grind.

It took us years of advocacy and hard work to get the bike lanes along Bloor street, and it has made a massive difference to those using active modes of transportation. Please do not remove them. It would set us back a whole lot of invested money!

I dont recall asking for my tax money to rip up bike lanes that have proven to benefit the city.
I can not afford a car so i bicycle to work, I deserve a safe way to travel.
Something the TTC can not provide.

Please do not make biking safely in Toronto even more difficult by removing bike lanes. We need more bike lanes not fewer. Invest the money it will cost to remove these lanes in improving public transport or incentives for those to not drive in the city.
Bike lanes separated from cars save lives and make commuting by bike feasible. My children and I regularly use the Bloor St bike lanes to commute downtown and go to and from school and we love them.

Getting rid of bike lanes doesn't solve gridlock. You are deflecting your issues with public transportation. Perhaps your should address that to fix some gridlock issues.

Bike lanes are good for business. They’re good for the environment. They’re good for public and personal health. They give us freedom and mobility. Bike lanes save lives.
Adding more lanes for cars solves congestion only temporarily, rarely, and at best.

As a Toronto resident, I strongly oppose this measure. I am not a cyclist but I care for those who choose this mode of transportation. Removing bike lanes will not relieve congestion or make our streets safer, as every reputable study of bike lanes and traffic unambiguously shows.

Keep the lanes open! Without lanes those bikers will just get back into their cars. And more drivers will think that’s the best way to get around. It’ll just lead to more traffic!
This Bill is absolutely awful. It is an overreach into municipal affairs, aside from the fact that bike lanes are essential for saving lives, relieving congestion, and benefiting the environment. This piece of legislation is not based on any studies or scientific rationale.

I am completly opposed to this legislation. Preventing new bike lanes, and even more outrageously, removing existing bike lanes will cost lives, increase air pollution, contribute to congestion, make people more miserable and poor and less healthy.

This bill does not make any sense. Why is the Province dealing with local matters?
Why does the Government of Ontario get to decide where bike lanes are put?
Bike lanes are good for the environment, peoples health, traffic, and are safer.

The bike lanes on bloor and yonge have proven to be successful at reducing car traffic and have improved the businesses on those streets. People are going to bike on those streets regardless, and the bike lanes make it safer for them to do so. It's very important to keep them.

As a province of Ontario taxpayer living outside of Toronto, I do NOT consent to the use of provincial tax revenues being used in what is overreach of municipal affairs.
I live close to the Bloor bike lane and use it to commute to my work (also located
on Bloor St) multiple times a week (as well as for leisure rides to High Park and
other areas). This bike lane is an essential piece of infrastructure in my

I am heartbroken about the removal of bike lanes. I am a senior, and I cycle at least four times a week. I am grateful for the Yonge, Bloor, and University lanes.

On the surface "common sense" would say more lanes = less traffic, but like most complex issues the solution is not obvious. If this were a plumbing issue one could improve flow by increasing capacity but traffic is much more complex than plumbing.
