Please do not close bike lanes. They are essential to help reduce carbon emissions, climate change and car congestion. We are seeing the environmental impact of climate change with global warming, increased forest fires and flooding. We are seeing melting of polar ice caps.

Shocking that this government is proposing removing bike lanes when studies show they have a positive impact on businesses and congestion. Every person stuck in traffic wishes the person in front of them wasn't on the road.

This proposal is not wise. I drive every day around Toronto to get where I need to go. I see the real effect bike lanes have, and it's getting people off the road so that I, as a driver, have to compete with less cars on the roads.

I'm extremely frustrated by this proposal. When I first heard about it I thought it was a just because it was so absurd.
This proposal is not being made based on fact based evidence but rather it seems rushed through as quickly as possible.

Please consider that cycling is a viable form of transportation, and if so, should be treated in parallel and supported the same way as other modes.
This bill and its results would put cyclists and all road users in greater danger.

Removing protected bike lanes without a robust plan to provide similar cycle network connectivity and an equal level of protection for cyclists is a terrible decision.

This proposal is a phenomenal waste of taxpayers' time and money. If current proposal of removing parts of Yonge, Bloor and University bike lanes comes through, that would mean:
1. The return of construction along those streets contributing to further gridlock

Is there evidence that removing bike lanes will actually alleviate gridlock? If there is no designated lane, bikers will need to ride in a traffic lane, which would slow down traffic anyway.

Removing bike lanes will not substantially improve congestion and will result in additional road deaths and injuries. This is a plain fact.
Please consider why these bike lanes exist (hint- fewer cyclists=more drivers=more traffic).

The bike lanes on Bloor and University are great and I say this as a driver. It is so much simpler to have bikes in the separated lane; I’m never stuck behind one, unable to pass safely, like I am on Dundas.

This may be the worst piece of legislation ever introduced in Ontario. First, it will do the opposite of what it says - it will increase gridlock and congestion because it will force people who are now travelling by bike back into single-occupancy vehicles.

Giving the federal government the right to dictate what municipalities are doing is irresponsible. Municipalities take the time to understand what their citizens need. Bike lanes are an important part of transportation of the in cities and towns of Ontario.

I strongly believe that no existing bike lanes in the city of Toronto should be removed.
I strongly believe that the Provincial Government should not be interfering with municipal decisions regarding road configuration and the installation of bike lanes.

Bike lanes help people travel safely without interfering with car traffic. Without bike lanes, I will have to bike on the actual road itself and feel unsafe as well as take up an actual car lane which will most likely cause congestion.

You are trying to get more cyclists and pedestrians killed by removing protected bike lanes in Toronto that both keep cyclists safe, and road traffic calmer and more ordered. All of this to help the Conservative government win re-election with people in the suburbs who don't even use these lanes.

Bike lanes are an integral part of providing people with convenient and affordable method to move around the city and access their daily needs. Especially during this affordability crisis, not every Torontonian can afford to buy and maintain a car.

Removing bike lanes feels like a huge step backward for a city aiming to be world-class. I'd love to see the data the province has to justify this move—especially when so many of us know that reliable transit options are limited, and the TTC doesn’t fully meet the city’s needs.

I understand traffic needs to get moving but the bike lanes that are already in place should probably stay. I feel like spending all that money removing them is a major break from this government's reputation of fiscal responsibility, for relatively little gain.
