Legislation by the Ontario Government should only act going forward - it should not be able to legislate on things already considered, consulted on and put into effect such as the bike lanes.

I would like to express my strong support for the implementation of more bike lanes in Toronto and not removing any bike lanes. The addition of dedicated bike lanes offers numerous benefits for our city, including:

The University Avenue bike lane will be crucial north-south artery for cyclists during the 2026 Toronto FIFA World Cup.
Congestion will paralyze the event and you will be severely desperate to have this lane. Leave it alone.

This proposal shows that the Ontario government has a fundamental misunderstanding about factors that impact congestion. When we consider Toronto's population and the amount of space available for roadways it is literally impossible to prevent congestion by increasing lanes for vehicular traffic.

As a driver & occasional cyclist who has a young adult child who cycles the city - I am strongly OPPOSED to removing bike lanes. I’d rather sit in traffic than risk hitting a cyclist.

Bike lanes need to be kept. Grid lock issues aren't due to bikers but from drivers that do not follow traffic laws and stopping in intersections. It would be more productive to crack down on drivers that stop in intersections.
Removing bike lanes in the City of Toronto (or anywhere) will not improve traffic. Instead, more people will elect to use cars because they don’t have a safe bike option and traffic will worsen. And of course, there will be more cyclist fatalities at a time when we are trying to get to zero.

The proposal to remove bike lanes in downtown Toronto is short-sighted and goes against evidence-based urban planning principles. Bike lanes are crucial for creating safer, more sustainable, and more efficient urban transportation networks. Here's why we should keep and expand bike lanes:

Removing these critical cycling lanes will have a direct and serious impact on my family’s safety. We live in Harbord Village, and our children attend Ecole Elementaire Gabrielle Roy in the Garden District.

This is a horrible idea and will result in more Ontarians getting killed. It will slow down traffic, not accelerate it. Please do not touch the bike lanes.
Have some guts…for the people focusing on bike lanes. If you wanted to really save people time and end gridlock you wouldn’t be taking our bike lines you’d do something with actual guts and vision. Congestion zone charges now!!!!

Please dedicate your efforts to providing more GO trains. The data does not support this decision.
Bike lanes move more people per hour than car lanes do. Ripping out bike lanes to make room for more cars will only have more cars stuck in traffic.

Fantastic proposal- it is great that common sense is still alive (barely) in our society and we are not completely dominated by a small group of ideological politicians.
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.
