This is absolutely insane. We have more motor vehicle caused MURDERS in the city of Toronto of all time. It's because of vehicle size and speed. WHY ON EARTH would our provincial administration, REMOVE bike lanes protecting the lives of the citizens of Ontario? Wake up. Grow up. Smarten up. Read more

I live in East York near Pape Ave and Cosburn Ave. I used to drive to get around. Because of the good bike lane infrastructure, especially the separated lanes, I switch to my e-bike. In the past 3 years, my odometer is over 2000km - all downtown Toronto travel. Read more

The division this issue has caused in our city is heartbreaking. It is known globally that the best way to reduce gridlock in a city is to increase bike lanes and bike infrastructure. An efficient bike lane moves far more people per day than a lane of traffic. Read more

The Ontario government is using flawed statistics to make decisions regarding lives, citing data for the GTA while bike lanes are only installed in a small part of the City of Toronto. Read more

Bike lanes in Toronto are essential for creating safer, more efficient, and environmentally friendly urban spaces. They protect cyclists by clearly separating them from motor vehicle traffic, reducing accidents and encouraging more people to choose biking as a viable mode of transportation. Read more

As an avid cyclist and environmentalist I am strongly against this bill. Building and maintaining bike lanes encourages people to cycle, keeps them safe, and eases overall traffic. Read more

This is a disappointing bill. Bike lanes do not cause congestion. This has been studied all over the world. The only ways to reduce congestion are by giving people viable alternatives such as accessible transit, safe and connected bike infrastructure or walkable communities. Read more

I am opposed to the bike lane removal on Bloor, Yonge and University. I use these bike lanes on my commute, and they have made my commute feel significantly safer. Read more

This proposal is taking a heavy handed approach to reduce the ability for municipalities to provide options for residents to get around their communities without a motor vehicle. This will add red tape to the process of building active transportation networks. Read more

This is such a move backward for Ontario. As someone who’s been hit by a car cycling, the proper infrastructure on main roads is so important on saving lives. The data shows now that these bike lanes have made it safer for cyclists, and increased business for those on Bloor and Yonge. Read more

I use bike transportation every day and have been hit by cars several times. Bikes need to be protected, we frequently see news reports of bikers killed by automobiles, this bill would only cause more injuries and deaths. Read more

There seems to have been no consideration to the benefits of cycling infrastructure for cyclists in this proposal. The province should not be forcing municipalities to remove existing infrastructure and adding barriers for managing their own local roads.
