Please vote no for this, as removing the 3 bike lanes in downtown Toronto looks ineffective, wasteful of our taxpayer money, and counter-productive for Toronto’s economy and neighbourhood safety.

I am in absolute disbelief that the Ford government would try to go ahead with getting rid of existing bike lane infrastructure in Toronto - finally after so many years. While the bike lanes on Bloor are not perfect they are a far step above of what used to be there.

I am a resident of Toronto and an independent voter. I commute to work daily using bike lanes in this city, including Bloor and University. I urge you to STOP your attack on the city’s bike lanes. Your mandate is to move people safely and efficiently.

I am both a cyclist and motorist in Toronto. As a cyclist, I am safer in a protected cycle track / bike lane. As a motorist, I am not worried about running over cyclists when they are in a protected bike lane. Bike lanes protect gig workers delivering our food.

This is horrible. We should be investing in more bike lanes and keeping them safer not removing them.
Toronto is becoming further and further from a world class city as the Ford government removes all things that make this city good.

I am disgusted by the misguided and misinformed effort of this government to regress the gains that our cities have been able to make in providing safe, environmentally friendly, and equitable alternative transportation solutions.

I am writing to express my shock and disappointment at the decision to dismantle bike infrastructure across Ontario. This choice not only puts lives at risk but reflects a deeply troubling prioritization of culture wars and divisive rhetoric over the safety and well-being of Ontarians.

In June 2015 I woke up to a text from my roommate asking me to give him a call when I woke up. At the time he had subletted his room to a friend as he had moved back home to Burlington for the summer.

There has never been a "war on cars," because for the past century, it was more of a "war on any method of transportation other than cars."
This bill wages a war on bycicle and urban infrastructure in a city that cannot afford to provide space to a car that carries on average one person.

This Bill is being brought forth by the Minister of Transportation, a man whom apparently cannot envision any alternate method of transportation from his home (Brampton) to his workplace (Toronto).

As a person who has used public transit and did a lot of walking in the downtown core, traffic has gotten worse with all the people driving downtown to all the events happening in the city. Having watched several bike patrons getting killed by doors and cars running them over.

Many adjectives could accurately describe the proposed legislation; vindictive, dangerous, counterproductive, unwanted, pandering. What it is not, is evidence based or well considered. The people of Toronto clearly rejected Doug Ford when he ran for mayor, he should stop pretending that he is.
I like bike lanes, and I like them more when they are more than a painted line. People don't use bike lanes that do not provide proper protection from cars. Bike lanes are especially important in major population centers, especially downtown's and residential areas.

We NEED bike lanes if they are to be a serious alternative to transportation. Studies have shown that the more lanes there are for cars, the more people will choose their cars over any other form of transport. Which means more cars end up on the roads, and that makes traffic even WORSE.

Getting rid of the bike lanes won’t help traffic and will make cyclists AND drivers less safe. It feels a bit self-centered to try and get rid of these three roads’ worth in particular.
I support the bike lanes. It is unfair the the province is trying to override the ability for municipalities to make decisions that are in the best interest of the local population.

As a cyclist there’s nothing worse and unsafe than having cars dangerously and recklessly overtake you, despite having to share the lane.
This bill would cause a spike in cyclists deaths, increase gridlock by disincentivizing cyclists, and increase congestion on our roads.
