ABSOLUTELY DO NOT reduce bike lane infrastructure. It is LUDICROUS that this government would consider reducing climate positive infrastructure. I ride my bike all over the city, which is CARBON ZERO way to travel and REDUCES CONGESTION. Please, please do the right thing. Read more

Please trust experts in safety and transportation to make science based decisions. Bike lanes promote safety and allow much higher density of movement. Please add more bike lanes across Ontario to promote safety, business and health

This proposed legislation is a clear misuse of resources. Research demonstrates robustly that bike lines do not increase congestion. Multiple studies cited and summarized in this CBC article (https://www.cbc.ca/news/science/bike-lanes-impacts-1.7358319) confirm this. Read more

Eliminating bike lanes will only make traffic worse by adding more drivers that would previously be biking to their destination. This also places bikers who still want to bike in danger of being harmed by drivers. Read more

Removing these bike lanes will cause even more needless deaths of cyclists, in a city that already has too many. More access to safe bike lanes will reduce the number of cars in a time where every effort to reduce emissions matters. Read more

The province has no business telling municipalities what to do with their own streets. Bike lanes are good for Toronto and provably decrease traffic congestion. This is a farce that benefits nobody. Read more

This proposal is incredibly arrogant and regressive. Traffic congestion is not a new problem, and different solutions are being attempted all over the world. Read more

This is an obviously ridiculous framework which purports to make progress on a reasonable issue (gridlock) in a way which isn't supported by data, including data produced by the very same government/administration. Read more

Bike lanes save lives. Removing them is insanity. This ideologically driven spitefullness is not acceptable. Cyclists are also taxpayers. We drive, walk, take transit and cycle. We will fight this and we will win. Doug Ford, you really are despicable and ignorant.

The government is acting in bad faith and not following their own legislation by deciding to remove bike lanes without evidence in support of them adding to congestion. All reasonable experts suggest that more lanes of traffic lead to more congestion via induced demand. Read more

What is the evidence in support of the government's contention that bike lanes cause or contribute to gridlock? Please cite the research on which the government is relying.

As a city resident, I believe our communities should be designed to support more active modes of transportation like biking and walking. This piece of legislation makes it unsafe for thousands of bikers who use these roads to commute to work and school everyday. Read more

The bike lanes throughout the city has helped me and my friends travel through the city more safer than ever. I no longer need to use the sidewalk when cycling in the city. Read more
