Please don’t remove the bike lanes. They help people safely make their way around the city. Please do not waste any more money to remove them, there is no point.
This is a complete waste of money and a non-sensible policy. The Ford government’s own report indicates that removal of bike lanes will slow down traffic. Bike lanes are necessary for the safety of cyclists
Doesn't the govt have more important things to do than get involved in municipal matters? This is a ridiculous proposal. Which bike lanes on 401 are causing the delay?

Toronto, indeed, has a traffic problem. Reducing bike lanes and thereby widening streets is not the answer to gridlock. Wider and more traffic lanes, as study after study has shown, invite MORE traffic. The answer to reducing gridlock requires a multi-pronged approach:
- more GO transit

Cycling will not stop if you rip out the lanes. So many of us rely on biking. Just look at the numbers!!!!! More people on bikes = less people in cars = less cars on the road = less gridlock. You will live to regret this decision of overstepping municipal government jurisdiction.

the idea of limiting bike lanes - any bike lanes, but especially already installed. ones - is idiotic.
I am currently in Germany where I marvel at the density of the bike lane network, how much they are used AND (most important) how well bikes and cars And pedestrians interact.

This proposal is shortsighted and an active danger to me and others in my community. The proposal only cites the need for drivers to go wherever they want to quickly, but fails to mention other road users who want and need the same.

When I'm driving in Toronto, what slows me down is not bike lanes -- the number one cause of me being late to where I'm going is construction: road work, and building construction that expands out into the curb lane, reducing two lanes of traffic to one.. number one problem!

The decision to add or remove bike lanes should not be made at a provincial level and with no regard for the research into their viability that exists. The City is best placed to understand the dynamics of traffic. Bike lanes are not the cause of congestion; construction is.

Bike lanes are crucial infrastructure for me and many Torontonians who choose not to drive for health, financial, or environmental reasons. Biking should not be dangerous for Torontonians and bike lanes are crucial to the future as a less car-centric and forward-looking city.

I regularly use the Bloor bike lane (between Dufferin and Ossington) to drop my preschooler off to daycare, and would never feel safe doing this without a bike lane. The Bloor bike lane is also the only way my son can get to high park on his own from our house (ossington to high park).

The bike lanes on Bloor and University were JUST finished. What a waste of money to take them out. This is not a provincial issue and it is not the cause of your long commute.

Hands off our city! This is a city business.
Bike lanes are essential for safety on our city’s increasingly dangerous roads. What specific safety measures are you implementing instead?
This proposed legislation represented an egregious jurisdictional overreach on the part of the provincial government. Toronto city council has jurisdiction over the municipal road infrastructure, and the duly-elected members of city council have made decisions regarding bike lanes.

This proposal is concerning for cyclists in Toronto, as it overlooks the critical benefits bike lanes bring to safety, sustainability, and affordability.

I live at 200 Bloor St W. Traffic on Bloor has been terrible for many years, way before the bike lanes were installed. Since the bike lanes were installed, I’ve been able to use them to bike to work.

I have been living in the Annex for the last 15 years. I do pretty much all my shopping on Bloor and I remember the street before the bike lanes were installed. I don't even bike myself, but I'm begging the government: Please do not take away the bike lanes from my neighbourhood.
