This is a backwards policy completely at odds with all of the research on the topic. It is clear that bike lanes reduce congestion wherever they are built. I will be changing my vote away from the conservatives in the next election because of this absurd policy decision. Read more

Cities know what is needed best in terms of transportation. As a public, this is why we elect mayors who run on promises that we expect to be upheld. They have more intimate knowledge of both the cycling and car traffic in a city. Read more

This is a terrible idea for many reasons. For one, it is provincial government overreach by them wanting to regulate municipal roads. These roads are designed with thorough studies and design, they shouldn't just be changed due to political sentiment. Read more

The Ontario government should be promoting more bike lanes, not threatening to reduce bike lanes. Research shows bike lanes decrease congestion, and are good for local business. The proposed bill reflects an approach that is backwards & anti-progressive. Read more

More bike lanes means less car traffic! Which means less gridlock and also less environmental pollution. Biking is also great for both physical and mental health. And often, more financially accessible than driving or public transit. Read more

I am against the provincial government infringing on the authority of municipalities to decide what is the correct balance of bicycling infrastructure and roads for motor vehicles.

I totally agree with the government that bike lanes have gotten.out of control, They are taking away car lanes and parking spots which increases both parking difficulties and driving times. If there are no rooms for bikes then they should be prohibited from the road, not cars.

This proposal is a huge waste of tax payer money. The only way to reduce gridlock is to continue to give people more and safer ways to get where there going which is exactly what existing bike lanes do. The money and time being put into this should be going towards public transit

A provincial government bill that imposes additional red tape on the implementation of municipal bike lanes contradicts established research on congestion reduction. Read more

Finish the eglinton line and stay in your own lane. Spending money to RIP UP bike lines does absolutely nothing but burn money. Only upside is it gives less money for you (Doug Ford) to give away to your developer insiders and Austrian Spa buddies.

Almost everyone in my life (myself included) utilizes bike lanes on a daily basis to get to work, run errands, get to appointments, and do their day-to-day commuting needs. Read more

Re:Bike Lane legislation I think this is a sensible move. It seems like common sense that if you restrict the number of lanes on the road the flow will go down. Like a pipe. Read more

I’m very supportive of removing bike lanes where the data shows there is impact on congestion without enough cyclists. I’ve done the math on impact on CO2 emissions in Etobicoke and believe the new CO2 impact is about 174,000 kg of co2 which works out to about 13kg per incremental cyclist. Read more

Bike lines do not cause congestion. They help us get around safely. I don't drive so I rely on my bike to navigate my city year round. Bike lanes mean I can get to work safely and easily. We need more bike lanes, not less
