As a driver and cyclist, bike lanes matter to me. As a driver I like them because there is a clear area for cyclists to go! As a cyclist I like them because my children and I are Read more

It is almost impossible to capture all the issues with removing bike lanes or preventing municipalities from making their own decisions about city planning in this comment. But I will outline some of the more obvious concerns below. Read more

Anyone who thinks using resources to remove transportation options in a busy, growing, and infrastructurally underserved metropolitan area is clearly demonstrating their complete ignorance on the topic of alleviating Toronto’s traffic issues. Read more

This is a ridiculous political stunt. I'm a car driver. And even I want as many bike lanes as possible. Every person on a bike removes one car. Who doesn't see this simple fact? More bike lanes. Fewer car lanes! No stupid provincial red tape. Municipalities know better.

Province should focus on provincial priorities such as healthcare, education, and regional transit development. This act makes no sense and is a populist gesture against all evidence. Toronto traffic only gets worse with less bike lanes and more cars.

This is a horrible proposal. Bike lanes not only improve safety, but ease congestion as more people are able to safely cycle instead of being forced into a car. Read more

Please don’t remove existing bike lanes. These are municipal decisions legitimately approved by Toronto City Council with overwhelming majorities, including the local councillors in the cases of high-profile lanes on Bloor, Yonge and University. Read more

This Act is based on flawed and faulty assumptions that blame bike lanes for heavy traffic in Ontario. Traffic experts have been demonstrating that induced demand is the real issue, combined with systematic delays and underfunding of public transit systems. Read more

Studies from around the world show that bike lanes reduce emissions, ease congestion, and are a boon to local businesses. See Copenhagen, Holland, and even our very own Montreal.

I contribute to traffic congestion as a motor vehicle operator when the only option for me to get to work, school or home is by motor vehicle. Bicycle infrastructure including bicycle lanes on roadways make it safer and practical to use an alternative form of transportation for me and my family. Read more

Please listen to a non-Liberal’s informed understanding about a ‘Cars-first’ vs ‘Mixed-transport’ transportation system. It is 7 very short points, and will take no time to read. My goal is to advocate for efficiency and economic benefit. I am not an anti-car radical. Read more

The province is absolutely right in restricting bike lanes. Waste of tax payer dollars to accomodate such a small percentage of people and the money wasted on plowing these lanes for such few people when the majority of people drive cars and need clear, safe streets. Read more

This seems like a policy that is much more about politicking than actually improving congestion. Induced demand (and concrete studies from many major cities) show that adding more vehicle lanes and/or more highways does nothing to improve congestion in the long-term. Read more

The proposed changes in Bill 212 to the Highway Traffic Act fly in the face of forward thinking common sense. We need to see beyond the end of our nose and realize that a balance, prioritized approach to infrastructure development makes sense. Read more
