Fully support this initiative! Bike lanes on side streets exist and are extensive as I’ve cycled a great portion of this city. They should not be on main arterial roads. Our city’s gridlock is ridiculous and notorious. Read more

I was almost killed by a transport truck on Strachan Avenue in 2004. If there had been separate bike lanes, I would not have broken my collar bone, been rushed to the hospital in an ambulance, had to wait in a crowded ER for hours for medical help and missed several days of work. Read more

I'm a resident and homeowner in Etobicoke (Kipling and Bloor). I strongly oppose this regulation. It contradicts the idea of transit oriented communities where condominium developments have significantly less vehicle parking spots for residents. Read more
