This is short-sighted and not researched. Removing bike lanes will not improve traffic- imagine that every bike is an extra car on the street! Additionally, some of those that don't have a car will continue to bike, and be forced to be less safe with the lack of bike lanes.

I personally don't believe this act will help improve traffic. I've personally seen traffic reduce as the implementation and usage of bike lanes grew, since less people chose to drive in favor of biking.

We need more transportation options and bike lanes is one of them. Whether that is downtown core commuting or riding to a Go Train station or riding a Bixi bike share bike. The province should not be intervening and adding bureaucratic red tape.
I think this bill is single-handedly one of the most ludicrous bills I have ever seen. How do you justify ripping out a bike network that's already been established, for a theory that it would boost car traffic?

As a resident in downtown Toronto for over a decade, and despite not a cyclist, I find that bike lane in Toronto is good for our community, and for safety of cyclist, pedestrians and drivers. I'm pleased to see the completion of Bloor Street bike lane on Bloor Street, which I had lived for 5 years.

As someone who voted for PC in the previous election, I am EXTREMELY disappointed with this Bill.
1. This adds governmental red tape and additional bureaucracy, which is the last thing we should ever want to see from government.

This legislation is purely political and endangers the lives of citizens. This has already been the deadliest year on the streets of Toronto and this will cause more deaths.

Bike lanes save lives! Do not take them away. Also, this is a dangerous overreach of the provincial government, which should not have micromanaging power over municipalities. Withdraw this bill now!
This proposal to remove the bike lanes is absolutely asinine. The Ontario provincial government should be using research from this decade, not bowing to the will of Doug Ford's commute. Removing these bike lines will set back Toronto years and it's an embarrassment on the federal level.

Bonjour! Je suis résidente d’Ottawa et je suis absolument contre ce projet de loi est très politique et anti-cyclistes et non soutenu par la science et les faits.

Sure seems like the current government is stoking culture war items and outright trying to bribe the electorate with $200 to distract from the fact they've underfunded hospitals, schools, LTB.

I’m strongly against this proposal. Toronto needs more bike lanes not less! Building more roads and highways will only ADD to gridlock. Toronto needs to look to other large global cities and take notes.
This is a gross overstep of Provincial authority. What the hell does the Province have to do with traffic in the city? If Ford wants to set BIKE LANES in Toronto or other cities, he should run for CITY COUNCIL.

The future of all society is the removal of cars. Cars are inefficient modes of travel due their high cost, high space requirement, and low efficiency due to inherent design such as rolling resistance.
