This does not serve the interests of a large and growing minority of Torontonians including me and my family of 4. The proportion of trips we make in Toronto by bike are 50%, by walking 30%, transit 15%, drive 5%. Read more

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WHATSOEVER SHOULD ANY BIKE LANES BE REMOVED. What a gargantuan step backwards. If the impact of human-created climate change isn’t proof enough, the provincial government wants to ignore the economic facts and evidence?? Read more

Please don't spend taxpayer money to put our City in a backwards direction against the progress to successful, modern Cities. I have lived in the Annex near Bloor St for over a decade and am both a driver and a biker. Read more

Removing bicycle lanes, adding 1 or 2 motor lanes, won’t remove the traffic congestion in Toronto downtown. Just more cars flood the road. More pollutions. Climate change needs immediate action. Stop making it worse. Don’t say EV will save us. Read more

This is a horrible idea and a massive overreach by the province. There is no solution to the traffic problem that can be solved by increasing the amount of driving. I bike to commute. Would it be decrease traffic if I drove a car instead? Plus, bike lanes are critical for the safety of citizens. Read more

I rely on major bike lanes to get around Toronto for work and recreation. It saves money and is better for the environment. If there are no bike lanes I will bike on the road, slowing down traffic. Read more

Bike lanes save lives. There is no data suggesting bike lanes lead to more congestion. Removing lanes will add more cars to the street and increase traffic. Please reconsider to keep Toronto a safe and healthy city for all citizens!

I believe this proposal is an innapropitae overreach of the provincial government on municipal matters. The provincial government needs to prioritize other more important issues such as health care and education rather than telling municipal governments whether they can or cannot build bike lanes.

A lot of money was put to put bike lanes for children, adults, and everyone to cycle safely in Toronto for those that cannot afford a car or want to incorporate a healthy mode for transport. Read more

I strongly disagree with this proposed Act! This legislation will put vulnerable road users at huge risk and will certainly result in multiple fatalities. The province should keep to provincial business and leave the cities to manage their own roads. Read more

I don't understanding why Bloor has been in construction for so long around St George,.making into a nice boulevard with a functional bikelane, and now the gvt is trying to remove it. Is anybody doing live research to see how much all these bikelanes are used daily? Read more

This proposal is not based on evidence, will do the opposite of what the government intends, and put cyclists - including children - at higher risk of injury and death. It’s a petty political decision that displays an utter absence of leadership. Enjoy your *increase* in congestion.
