I think this is a misuse of resources in time, money, and working power. This could be spent on better upgrading mass transit options to reduce congestion instead.
Including but not limited to free transit (bus and subway), and increased service locations and times.

As someone who lives downtown in Toronto and drives, I love having the bike lanes on Bloor, Yonge, and University. It has made both driving and biking so much safer, especially for families as biking with kids in streets with cars never feels safe.

Here are some numbers fifteen,ten,5 and 7.
These numbers are the amount of minutes, that emergency services had to wait to move along, Bloor Street West. in the west end between Ossington to pass Lansdowne avenue.

As a Torontonian, this bill would negatively impact my daily life in the city. Bike lanes are vital to the city’s multi-modal transportation and I use them regularly to commute and get around safely.

I am writing to express my profound disappointment with the decision to rip out the bike lanes in Toronto. This move not only demonstrates a fundamental misunderstanding of urban transportation dynamics but also threatens to exacerbate the very traffic issues you claim to address.

I am a driver and this makes me immensely uncomfortable. Knowing that cyclists are in their own lane, safely separated from my car is a relief. I frequently drive on the 3 main roads proposed and have not found any difference pre or post bike lanes in terms of traffic.

Why are you using our tax dollars to do this after they’ve been built? If you had a problem with these lanes, why didn’t you say something before they were built?
I’m a driver and I suggest you guys not to remove Bloor st, Yonge st bike lanes
Bikes don’t disappear, imagine thousands of bikes with speed of 10km per hour using same roads with cars…
The problem with gridlock is not that cities do not have enough space for cars. The problem is that they're too many cars. Adding one more lane of car traffic will only induce more people to use the road and cause it to return to its previously congested state.

Your 1.2% figure is from 2011, covers entire GTA, and predates the installation of bike lanes.
The Bloor, University and Yonge lanes were installed between 2016 and 2021.

Reducing bike lanes will not reduce traffic flow. In fact, you will have less traffic on the roads since the bikers will not be using cars to travel.
This bill will not do what it proposes to do. This is a bad idea and should not be carried out.
Firstly, encouraging cycling is a great way to solve traffic congestion and demonstrates through infrastructure that the health of its citizens are important. Secondly, the aspects of allowing construction without environment impact assessments is despicable.

I am strongly opposing this bill as a regular bike user who is helping reduce gridlock by using bike for commute on daily basis.
I have seen 10's of bike stopping just in small pace which covers the space of 2 car.

Every person on a bike is one not behind the wheel of a car, contributing to traffic and air pollution. Not only that, bike lanes increase accessibility to transit that is both efficient and good for one's health and well-being.

Abolishing human-scale, low/zero emissions mobility infrastructure, thereby forcing an increased dependency on motorized transport in this era of impending climate catastrophe and ecosystem collapse is a criminally embarrassing mistake.
