Most of the Ontario Ford Government MPPs are living/located in Toronto or the GTA... do none of them cycle to commute to work? I'm flabbergasted here.

This latest stunt by the Ontario Government to tear out bike lanes on Toronto’s key streets is the epitome of tone-deaf, backwards policy-making, pandering to car-centric lobbyists at the expense of urban livability.

Bike lanes are essential for safety on our city’s increasingly dangerous roads. What specific safety measures are you implementing instead? Will you be held accountable for any injuries that may occur as a result of this decision?”
As a current resident of south Etobicoke and longtime Torontonian I am deeply concerned with the both the proposed bike lane legislation and ongoing rhetoric regarding cyclists and cycling infrastructure.

Bike lanes offer significant benefits for the environment, safety, and traffic management. Environmentally, bike lanes reduce carbon emissions by encouraging people to choose biking over driving, which lowers air pollution and conserves natural resources.

The Ontario government’s proposal to rip out bike lanes from major arteries like Bloor, Yonge, and University is more than misguided—it’s a devastating blow to the health, safety, and prosperity of our communities.

Removing the bike lanes will not speed up traffic times as the bikes will now use the same lanes as other traffic. Spending our money on removing the existing bike lanes is a waste of money.

Bike lanes are an essential component of our overall transportation network. If any bike lanes are removed, I will simply start taking the lane while riding, as will many other cyclists I've spoken to. I find this to be less risky than staying to the right while drivers pass me by within inches.

Toronto in 2016 was 87th in the world in traffic congestion. Recently it was determined to be 3rd. Clearly removing lanes of traffic for bike lanes is not working. Removing lanes of traffic to alleviate traffic congestion is illogical.

Removing bike lanes in Toronto will not fix grid lock. It will only make it worse. People from the suburbs have said they would be more likely to drive in Toronto if bike lanes are removed. Drivers create gridlock, not cyclists. This is common sense.

This is a municipal matter that the province should not have authority over.
Spending money to take out very well used bike lanes is a waste when we should be putting that money into public transit.

I do not support the removal of bike lanes on Yonge or University avenues.
I support the removal of bike lanes in Etobicoke on Bloor street but not in Toronto. Those bike lanes should remain.
I do not support the provincial government having authority over a municipal decision.
Dear Sir / Madam,
I strongly disagree with this proposal. This bill along with Doug Ford's recent attacks against bike lanes will be directly responsible for environmental damage, death on the road and worse quality of life for ALL Ontarians.
