Bike infrastructure saves lives. Vital to the city. Shame on anyone who will put cyclists and pedestrians at risk by ripping them up. If you are lucky enough not to have to rely on them, you are not in a position to be making decisions about our city. Read more

Happy that some common sense has returned to this discussion and glad to see that someone is listening to the constituency and will take action and reverse the bike lane installation.

I do not support this new policy! Building more highways and adding more vehicle lanes only invites more traffic and causes further congestion. Cities need to provide alternative transportation options such as bike and transit lanes to get people out of cars and reduce congestion. Read more

Cummer to Leslie is our main route to North York General Hospital, and was a common route ambulances took to take us back from both NYGH and Sunnybrook due to congestion on Bayview and Leslie. Read more

As someone who bikes in downtown Toronto as a way to get to places easily and especially where the subway is not as convenient or accessible, I’m disappointed to see this. The bike lanes are meant to encourage ease of access to downtown dwellers that don’t need to buy and use cars to get around. Read more

I oppose this proposal in the strongest possible terms. Removing bike lanes will make traffic worse, not better, for those in cars, and will make the streets more dangerous for cyclists. Stay in your lane and let the cities decide on their own bike lane policies.

As someone who does not bike or drive, but lives downtown near both Bloor and Yonge Street, (living on Bay and Wellesley), I would much rather keep the bike lanes than the traffic lanes. Read more

This proposal is deeply concerning. We should be discouraging drivers to take their cars to downtown, and instead, make the streets safer for pedestrians and cyclists. Read more

The Ford Government is so slimy. What's the REAL purpose of this bill? It will neither "reducing gridlock" or "saving [me or other Ontarians] time." It should be called the "Wasting taxpayers money, killing cyclists, increasing useless construction, and hating on Toronto Bill." Read more

I am incredibly frustrated by this proposal which will not only introduce more red tape to city management from the province, but is completely counter to evidence and the well being of city residents. Read more

As someone who used to live in Toronto for school and was a frequent user of both the bike share program and the Bloor bike lanes, this bill is ridiculous and depicts absolute mismanagement of those who govern in their understanding of what ACTUALLY causes congestion. Read more
