We need more bike lanes, I lived grew up in Toronto and have a vested interested in seeing this city succeed. As someone who grew up here as the population has grown I have seen traffic increase significantly. Bike lanes are not to blame for an increase in traffic in Toronto, cars are. Read more

All actual evidence says that removing bike lanes will NOT improve traffic in any real way. Please stop using wedge issues to bolster your perceived political fortunes, especially around this issue. Read more

Removing bike lanes is terrible and a pointless waste of taxpayer funds, if congestion in Toronto is a problem improve public transit so there are less cars clogging up the streets.

This bill, while framed as a progressive, environmentally beneficial act on behalf of Ontarians is very much a step backwards in the grand scheme of making Ontario a better place to travel. Read more

I can't believe the latest short-sightedness of our premiere in regards to the war on bicycles he is currently waging in Toronto. It is a huge step backwards in terms of quality of life in our biggest city from a long term perspective and a very, very real safety issue in a short-term perspective. Read more

Dear Minister, My whole family is biking. But we never use busy streets - only the quiet ones. Majority of bike riders prefer to ride bikes on quiet streets with little car traffic. Don’t listen to people who suggest adding bike lanes on major roads! They never biked themselves! Read more

When a motor-vehicle operator kills a cyclist, two lives are lost. The motor-vehicle operator may continue breathing, but they will never have their pre-accident life back. They will be traumatized by the experience and suffer tremendously. Bikes lanes save lives.

Do not remove the bike lanes. This is a waste of taxpayer dollars. As a taxpayer, I am against this. The province has not consulted with the city, and has not waited for data on how the lanes are actually used. This is not a decision based on facts or analysis. Read more

It seems the current government has not learned from countless studies that show that if you build it they will come and overflow what you have built. The current cycling lanes on Yonge St and University are wonderful (I have not tried the ones on Bloor St out in the west end). Read more

I am not a cyclist. In fact I commute almost exclusively by car, and have been annoyed by many a cyclist crowding the roads or being otherwise inconsiderate. That said, I still believe it important to support bike infrastructure in the city. Read more

Hi I use the university bike line all the time, as someone who lives in the suburbs I really like having safe bike infrastructure and having this will reduce traffic due to less cars on the road

I am extremely opposed to the removal of these bike lanes! There is zero evidence that bike lanes materially negatively impact the flow of traffic, nor is there evidence that their removal improves gridlock. Look at NYC: no protected bike lanes, endless gridlock. Read more
