We need a more connected bike infrastructure that will give citizens the choice of movement. This will help reduce car congestion as some will ride a bike instead of driving car. Protected bike lanes in a net benefit for Canada. Read more

Removing bike lanes would make streets less safe for cyclists and pedestrians, potentially leading to more accidents and traffic congestion, as cyclists would be forced into car lanes. Read more

Please do not remove bike lanes! Biking is an affordable and green way for many of us to get around the city daily. If the number of people on bikes were forced to use cars, the traffic in the city would skyrocket, even with bike lanes replaced by driving lanes. Read more

Bike lanes are important for relieving car congesting. Bike lanes are much denser than car lanes and removing bike lanes will increase congestion of cars. I want uber eats drives separated from car lanes. If bike lanes are removed cyclist will just take up a car lane and make congestion worse. Read more

This proposal is a travesty. A multi-billion dollar highway expansion to save less than a minute of driving time is horrendously irresponsible. Removing bike lanes is jurisdictional overreach and will cost lives. If you remove bike lanes, cyclists will bike in the car lane, slowing everyone down. Read more

Just because the premier lost his bid as Toronto Mayor a decade ago doesn't mean that he gets to force himself onto the city. I don't even live in Toronto, but this is the most ridiculous idea I've seen when it comes to public transportation. Read more

I just bought a bike because I saw all of the improvements in bike lanes. Give us a chance to get exercise, to be healthier and be safe while riding. Removing the bike lanes is so stupid. Build our cities for people, not cars.

Toronto is crushed by car traffic because we have not kept up with building public transit and providing alternate means such as a safe and efficient bike network. Read more

I support the province providing sober second thought on where bike lines are implemented. The city has made it abundantly clear that policy will favour implementing bike lanes with limited consideration to the negative externalities. Read more

As someone who has lived on Bloor Street West where the bike lanes have been recently put in for quite some time. I’ve actually noticed a decrease in traffic and of bicycles on sidewalks. Read more

Why is the government continuing to follow a failed policy of building your way out of gridlock, yet here we are in 2024 still trying to build your way out of gridlock. Common sense will tell you more roads, will create more traffic, the traffic then complains that there is too much traffic. Read more

This bill is a massive step backwards. To increase traffic flow there needs to be better bike infrastructure, not less. Reversing any progress that has been made is a huge waste of taxpayer dollars. This is a municipal issue and the province should not be interfering in the first place.

As a motorist and Toronto resident who drives downtown to access services/cultural events, I support and want bike lanes on major roads. It is more efficient to have bike lanes and I submit that it actually speeds up traffic by reducing the chaos of bikes in the roadway where there are cars. Read more
