Please do not remove the bicycles lanes on Bloor - I, like many of my neighbours, use this bicycle lane daily to commute to work and do shopping - It would be a huge loss to the people that live on or close to Bloor Street if these bicycle lanes were to be removed - we would have to resort to using

I do not support this Bill! You have prioritized climate change-inducing motorists over the personal safety of vulnerable road users. Shame on this government's shortsightedness and recklessness.
Removing bike lanes will bring us backwards in time. Instead, the provincial government should be focusing on alternative means of travel that aren't cars to remedy traffic within the city.

I'm a senior and I don't ride a bike anymore. But I am opposed to this plan.
1. This is interference from the provincial government in local Toronto business.

Removing bike lanes is a gigantic waste of time and money. The Ontario government is stuck in the 1960s, thinking that cars are the only way to get around Toronto.

I am a resident of Toronto and am deeply concerned with the lack of foresight and basic critical thinking skills used by this government in their approach to bike lanes, among other issues.

Stop interfering in municipal issues. It's frankly embarrassing the way this government refuses to focus on real issues and instead steps over dollars to pick up dimes.

Take a look at the safest cities in the world for pedestrians. They are not making more room for cars in their interior corridors. They are not attempting to solve gridlock with more cars.

Please don't jeopardize progress made on encouraging safer and healthier commuting around the city, as well as making our streets more pleasant, for no benefit. All the evidence suggests that bike lanes reduce congestion.

As a frequent user, and partner of a regular user of many bike lanes in the city this is foolish and dangerous. It would not only not ease congestion long term, it would make the roads even less safe for the growing community of cyclists who depend on them.
Congestion is caused by too many cars. There are no bike lanes on the 401, the Gardiner, the QEW. And yet they are bumper to bumper. There are no bike lanes on most roads in Toronto. And yet there are bumper to bumper.

This is a terrible proposal.
- Only cities understand the traffic flows within their boundaries and should be solely responsible for deciding where bike lanes should and should not go.
- Decisions about where bike lanes are located should be based on science, not anecdotal complaints

I do not agree with this bill.
This bill is such an overreach and beyond that, a lie. Gridlock traffic will not be improved by removing bike lanes. This will cause people who currently feel safe biking around to need to drive, increasing traffic.

How wasteful that one level of government installs bike lanes and then another level rips them out. It’s all taxpayer money from the same pockets so get it together in advance to agree.

Is banning sidewalks next!?
I use bikelanes everyday to get around safely. Do the drivers on Bloor, University, and Yonge not know there is literally a subway unnearth? This is insane policy direction, a complete overreach of jurisdiction.

My husband and I are in are mid-70s. We live at Bloor & Dufferin. We ride bikes to get around the city.
We need to feel and be safe. We rely on bike lanes. Particularly the Bloor St. bike lane. The University Ave and Yonge Street bike lanes are also important for our comfort and safety.

It is a shamefully irresponsible use of public funds- taken from hardworking families who you purportedly stand for-to remove bike lanes that have already been paid for and the community has adapted to.

The requirement for Ministry approval for bicycle lanes, especially in cases where motor vehicle lanes are affected, could limit municipalities’ ability to respond promptly to local transportation needs.
