What about getting cyclists (and transit users) where they need to go faster? Why are drivers more important? Pushing bike lanes off the main roads (Yonge, Bloor, University) onto minor roads will result in longer journey times.

The proposed removal of bike lanes on main streets is a ridiculous waste of taxpayer dollars. Doug Ford purports to "respect taxpayers", but this is not it. If the government really wants to reduce gridlock that does NOT mean putting more cars on the road. Read more

If a city decides they want to install a bike lane, they must be able to do so. Adding another layer of oversight is highly unnecessary, costly and time consuming without providing any tangible benefits. The province should focus on broader things such as public healthcare. Read more

The decision to remove, add, or modify a bike lane within a municipality is best made by that local/affected municipality. The Province is not well positioned to make these decisions as they lack important local knowledge on roads, traffic patterns, planning design, etc. Read more

I strongly disagree with this heavy-handed effort by the Ontario government to impose its own political agenda on Toronto in this misguided program to destroy existing cycling infrastructure without presenting any evidence whatsoever that it will materially or sustainably improve the city’s congesti Read more

As someone who rides my bike in Toronto, I regularly encounter blocked bike lanes. Whether by parked cars or from construction chaos, too often I’ve been told that it’s no big deal and to “just go around”. My own safety often seems like an inconvenience. Read more

Keep your hands off our bike lanes. Children ride bikes too. My kids used the Bloor bike lanes to get to and from their school. How do you imagine they would ride with traffic? This whole bill is illogical. If there are no bike lanes, bikes travel in the car lanes with the traffic. Read more

I am writing to express my strong opposition to the proposed bill aimed at dismantling our existing bike lanes. This legislation could exacerbate traffic congestion, endanger vulnerable road users, and further contribute to our ongoing climate emergency. Read more

This is absolutely abhorrent, not only does this motion go against studies that say bike lanes REDUCE gridlock, it is just a significant overreach by the provincial government. I want our premier to stay out of municipal affairs, protect cyclists and pedestrians by keeping bike lanes in place. Read more

Reducing gridlock requires reducing the number of motor vehicles on the road. Motor vehicles carrying one person comprise the majority of traffic on the roads. Read more

This is an incredibly harmful piece of legislation that will do THE EXACT OPPOSITE of its stated intention to reduce gridlock. It would move us in the opposite direction of other large cities around the planet. Read more

Please do not remove any existing bike lanes within Toronto. I drive on Yonge Street and on Bloor to get to and from work and having the bike lanes is better and safer for everyone. Read more
