I am amazed that the Ministry of Transportation can support the idea that congestion in an arterial road can be solved with the removal of bike lanes without any consideration for operations at intersections.

After being nervous about biking in the city of Toronto for many years, the combination of gas prices, climate change, gridlock, and the need to find ways of exercising more frequently to improve my physical and mental health lead me to become a bike commuter. I now ride over 20km a day on average.

I urge the provincial gov not to follow through with the proposal for removal of the bike lanes on Bloor St., Yonge St., and University Ave. in the City of Toronto and to return them to a lane of traffic.

I live just off Bloor Street. I drive my car often and have to cross the bike lane to get onto Bloor. Most times I drive east along Bloor and then along Danforth. The bike lines are the best thing that has happened to this stretch of road in 10 years.

Bike lanes are great. The whole world and major cities around the world are restructuring to put bike lines in major streets. There’s places in the world where bike lanes are so far advanced that people simply perform all life activities on a bike. This act will take our city back decades.

Please remove the bike lanes on Danforth Ave, Toronto.
I use those lanes to bike to work, roughly once per week. They are certainly handy for me when I do that.

This policy will not reduce congestion but will lead to death of local residents. This is grotesque government overreach. Why is an MPP from the Kingston area, or from South Western Ontario making local decisions about Toronto street designs? We have local representatives to make local decisions.

This is a ridiculous bill and would be a was of taxpayers dollars. Are you also going to reimburse the amounts that the municipalities spent to initially install the bike lanes?
Spend taxpayer money on something actually useful like healthcare!!!!!!!
If you remove bike lanes you either force more people to drive, increasing the number of cars on the road and causing congestion, or you force cyclists and drivers into mixed traffic. As bikes are far slower than cars this will slow drivers down significantly.

Hi,
As a driver and cyclist in Toronto I feel removing bike lanes at the tax payers expense is a bad idea.
They provide a safe way for many commuters to get across the city.

I kindly request that the government of Ontario not pursue this regulation and remove any and all pursuit of interfering with municipal affairs. As someone that drives a car, bike lanes are not the cause of traffic, cars are the cause of traffic.

This Bill is a massive over reach by the province. It is bad policy and bad politics. It puts peoples lives in danger and will do nothing to solve the problem of congestion.

Ripping up existing infrastructure is a waste of tax payer money. Looks like the government is looking to pickup an unnecessary fight between the so called drivers and bikers.

Bike lanes do not cause traffic - cars do. If you remove bike lanes, cyclists will either use their car and create more traffic, or ride in the middle of the lane for safety, and create more traffic.
This bill is a waste of time and tax-payer money. I thought the premier was all about stopping the gravy train. More importantly this bill will put people's safety at risk - including my safety as a cyclist. I already encounter dangerously aggressive drivers whenever I'm on my bike.

This is an insane suggestion. What do you want the current cyclist to do? Ride with traffic and slowing them down further? Why don’t you build another road across the city with more lanes?
I am a parent of young children that lives in East York and work downtown and midtown. Cycling safely through the city on separated bike lanes keeps me and my family safe. Before the bike lanes, there were just parked cars.

This proposal is frankly nonsense. The public is trying to find ways to be more environmentally friendly while also cutting down on costs of cars and fuel.
