Je pense que l'élimination de pistes cyclables mettra en danger la sécurité et la vie d'un très grand nombre de cyclistes. De plus, les cyclistes seront forcés de circuler au milieu de la voie, comme c'est leur droit, ce qui ralentira encore plus le trafic automobile. Read more

This bill is full of extremely short-sighted and non-data supported decision-making. It continues to show the focus of this government is enriching donors and developers for short term profits and not making life better for Ontarians. Read more

As a resident of Etobicoke-Lakeshore, I am writing to express my disappointment with this government's decision to give the province veto power over the installation of bike lanes, while also possibly removing existing bike lanes. I feel this is a significant overreach of jurisdiction and power. Read more

This bill is government overreach. How we use local streets is a municipal issue. This also disregards any data and analysis that show these bike lanes are used in greater numbers every year, do not affect vehicle travel times, and create safer streets for everyone outside a vehicle. Read more

"Ontario is looking to fight gridlock and get drivers where they need to go faster." This line is the most offensive part of the proposal. This is not a provincial issue, but a direct attack on downtown Toronto. Read more

Please do not remove any bike lanes in Toronto. My transit options are only the TTC and share bike. I need to be able to get to my doctors' appointments, shopping and banking, safely, just as every driver does. Read more

The Ontario government is being shortsighted on this bike lane reduction bill. It is giving no thought to the future for the sake of more auto traffic. Cities deserve to manage their bike lanes, they are better equipped to decide where bike lanes do and don’t belong. Read more

Bike lanes save lives, and means drivers don't need to be having to look out for them, meaning they can concentrate on the road more. I live on Bloor and have seen zero change in car traffic since lanes went in, and emergency vehicles have been able to get through as normal. Read more

What an insane waste of money. We’ve already built these bike lanes. Removing them would be expensive and force cyclists back into the lanes with car traffic. By law, bikes are entitled to the entire car lane when no bike lane is provided. Read more

I do not agree with this bill. Countless times when the issue of gridlock is brought up, the way out is clear, more bike lines, more transit. When you build more lanes, they just get filled and then the question is brought up again, why do we have gridlock. Read more

How do you expect people to cycle in Ontario when most places do not have a complete bike lane system in place? There are LESS bike lane options than roads for cars available. Read more

This is a gross misuse of provincial government getting involved in municipal issues. Bike lanes are an essential part of every community. I'm very against this proposal.

More lanes has never solved traffic. The only long term solution is promoting and supporting alternatives to driving, especially in dense urban areas. This bill is shortsighted and will be a detriment to cities across the province.
