This would be an insane waste of tax payer money reversing one of the best improvements to city infrastructure in some time. Please DO NOT pass this. Let local politicians dictate local polices, this is an extreme overreach.

This makes no sense, and will only lead to: 1. Increased congestion over multiple years on major streets in Toronto as a result of construction. 2. Encouraging driven traffic through Toronto rather than public transit or cycling, leading to more emissions. Read more

Removing bike lane is an idiotic suggestion. I run a metal fabrication business, and drive downtown regularly. Bike lanes makes it way easier to keep track of bikes when driving downtown with a load. Read more

This bill will make my commute more dangerous. I drive and bike in the City of Toronto and this level of intervention in local transit decisions feels like an attack on Toronto residents. The bike lanes mentioned in the bill are vital to Toronto's cycling network. Read more

When I rode my bike on a Toronto street without a bike lane, I got hit by a car. The hospital bill must have been huge. I'm sure the money the Province of Ontario would spend on ripping up existing, well-used bike lanes would afford a few doctors. Read more

This proposition irresponsible and dangerous. Proponents will have blood on their hands. Six cyclists have already died on Toronto roads this year including one forced out of Bloor St bike lanes. The science proves the lanes help reduce gridlock and help local businesses. Read more

This proposal will directly add significant time onto my daily commute, accomplishing the exact opposite of what it intends to achieve. This proposal will dramatically worsen congestion in Toronto and Ontario by removing the fastest way to get around congested cities. Read more

It is an absurd waste of money to remove pre-existing bike lanes. There is also plenty of literature that indicates how bike lanes help improve congestion. I drive in Toronto, and the lanes have taken cyclists off the actual roads, allowing for a safer drive. Read more

Bike lanes are incredibly important to the future of transportation and need to be protected and implemented across the city. Less cars on the road means better traffic flow and less grid lock. There needs to be the time allowed for the shift in culture that these bike lanes will bring. Read more

This is infuriating and patronizing. As a Toronto resident and property-owner, I trust my city counsellors and city staff to do the research necessary to make decisions regarding our streets - not some thoughtless, patronizing top-down decision-making from the province. Read more

People will die if you remove these bike lines. Bloor Street is particularly dangerous for bicyclists due to the volume of cars and drivers who refuse to check their surroundings. Read more

The proposal requiring provincial permission for new bike lanes where motor vehicular lanes will be removed, and the proposal to allow existing bike lanes. to be removed is completely misguided. Read more

As a local business owner who relies on all modes of transportation to receive product, acquire customers, and go about my day-to-day affairs, I strongly oppose the removal of even one inch of bike lanes in Toronto. Read more

The proposal to remove the recently built bike lane infrastructure is both impractical and counterproductive to the city’s goals of improving traffic flow, promoting safety, and supporting sustainable transportation options. Read more

I am quite disturbed by another example of provincial government overreach on municipalities, especially when they get so uptight on the mere mention of the federal government doing the same. As an equity and affordability issue, giving people the option to bike safely is fundamental. Read more
