I'm a graduate student examining resources and sustainability, with a focus on Canada. Scientific studies have conclusively proven that bike lanes do NOT add to congestion, and they do deliver many important benefits to both the local community and the nation at large. Read more

I absolutely do not support this bill. Many studies have shown that bike lanes contribute to a reduction of congestion, furthermore studies have shown bike lanes to result in an increase to businesses on streets with bike lanes. Read more

I am a lawyer in the city of Toronto, a driver, a cyclist, and a voter. This initiative is foolish, regressive, and wasteful. The city needs far more bike lanes, not fewer. I strongly oppose this legislation and urge Doug Ford and his government to re-consider.

Keep up the good work. The bike lanes on Bloor never made sense. There was a lack of community consultation and proper traffic analysis done. Finally a politician has stepped up and will correct a wrong. GOOD JOB!

WHAT ARE YOU THINKING? At this very moment, billions of people around the globe are suffering from global warming. They have been displaced because of flooding and wildfires. They are starving because the food system is toppling. They can't breathe because the air in cities chokes them. Read more

I am very concerned about this bill and its impacts. This bill will increase red tape and create more hurdles for the construction of much needed infrastructure. Read more

Totally agree with this decision! The gridlock all these bike lanes has created has caused the diversion of traffic to other areas like Dundas St. West, which in turn, has created another gridlock. And you barely see any cyclists along these routes. Read more

I fully support the removal of bike lanes on Bloor, Yonge and University. I live in the Yorkville area and witness daily the congestion that these restrictions cause. Most of the usage of the bike lanes come from couriers delivering food. Read more

Please leave the bike lanes in place and instead look at implement something that's been proven to reduce traffic, such as congestion tolls. It's totally unacceptable for provincial leadership to be so deeply involved in what are municipal affairs. Read more

Bike lanes fight climate change. They reduce pollution; they are literally a net zero way to get around. Removing bike lanes will put cyclists who came out of their cars thanks to safe bike lanes, back into cars. This will make traffic worse! Read more

I commute to work by bike plus volunteer with my neighbourhood's "bike bus": a group of students who bike to and from school together with adult accompaniment. Read more

A few months ago I was riding my bike on church street in downtown Toronto to commute to work when I fell off my bike when my bike wheel got stuck in a street car track. I hurt my needs really badly and a passerby had to stop to help me move away from the middle of the street. Read more

The reduction and removal of bike lines is absolutely unacceptable use of taxpayer's funds. Billions were spent in the creation of these new bike lanes and time and inconvenience was taken away from the Toronto citizens during the installation. Read more
