I 100% support this bill to remove the bike lanes in the city of Toronto. I am a resident of Etobicoke around Bloor street west and I have seen the traffic situation here go from bad to worse in the last year due to the reduction in traffic lanes with the new bike lanes put in. Read more

I wish to register my disapproval and complete disagreement with this proposal. The proposal to remove bike lanes, and to prevent the installation of new bike lanes, is not based on valid evidence about effective strategies to reduce traffic congestion. Read more

Ontario Professional Planners Institute said that removing bike lanes: through the proposed legislative changes will not reduce congestion. We need to get people out of their cars and onto transit, cycling, etc. to reduce congestion. Read more

Removing or not expanding infrastructure for bike lanes will not save time or reduce traffic. By doing this, you will be increasing traffic and time by forcing bikes to take up space on the roads. Read more

This seems like a page taken from the gas guzzling 1970s. The reason there is gridlock is because there are too many cars now and not enough public transportation networks. European and Asian cities have more regional commuter train and bus networks. Read more

Please do not waste money taking out bike lanes that were just put in. They were put in with city planning in mind. You have no reason or data to show removing them will improve anything. Stick to provincial matters and not municipal issues we have a municipal govement to handle those. Read more

Do not remove the bike lane. The only way to reduce gridlock is to provide other viable modes of transportation. All that removing bike lanes achieves is to increase the use of cars which will inevitably cause gridlock again. This has been proven time and time again. Read more

Why is the Ontario government wasting our money on this? Every study out there finds that adding lanes for more cars doesn't help congestion in the long run. But you are doing exactly that anyway. Are you even trying to fix the problem? It doesn't look like it. Read more

I am disgusted with the direction that Doug Ford’s government is taking our province. As the rest of the advanced world is moving ahead, we are moving backwards. The government’s role is to make decisions that will move us forward inspite of the dissenting mob of reluctant, self centered people. Read more

I strongly disagree with this policy. Research shows that bike lanes calm traffic, making roads safer for drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists alike. Additionally, having more people on bikes means fewer people on the roads in cars, reducing the biggest contributor to traffic. Read more

Toronto is approving numerous developments without car parking. Improving cycling infrastructure together with investing in public transit would make this make more sense but now the province is removing bike lines to allow safe cycling in the city for individuals. Read more

Rather than discouraging bike lanes, the province should be encouraging cities to install them. Gridlock is caused by cars, and the solution to gridlock is to reduce the number of cars on the road. Read more

As a bicyclist I implore the Government to not dismantle any of the bike lanes. Perhaps the Premier might want to think about all the bikes that are currently using the bike lanes, using the regular car lanes. Bicycles generally do not go as fast as cars. Read more
