Adding more roads is not an appropriate solution to solve congestion. Automobiles are for the privileged few.
We must stop the car-centric economy and create more mass transit and zero-emissions alternatives such as cycling and pedestrian infrastructure.

Our family uses the Bloor bike lanes weekly. Removing them will only put one more car on the road and make the roads more dangerous for cyclists and pedestrians.
I am a local utility and commuter cyclist (vulnerable road user), using my bike to get to/from work and for travel, besides far more tasks unrelated to work, bringing cargo on a trailer from a store to my home.

Under no circumstances should provincial approval be required for municipal bike lanes to be implemented, whether a vehicle lane is removed to create it or not.
Bank Street @ Glen ave now has an entire lane that is unusable from 2:30pm on. Premium parking spots are unavailable along a major shopping stretch of Ottawa South making businesses that have been there for years even more difficult to shop at.

This proposal is ridiculously misguided, to the point that it must be considered a politically driven vote grab.
It is retrogressive. Our cities don’t have room for more cars. We need other space-sharing alternatives. Bike lanes are a proven solution world wide.

You should be looking for ways to increase efficient mode of transportation. That means taking cars OFF the road, investing in pubic transport, bike lanes and foot traffic.

Municipal happenings should be under no obligation to request permission from the Provincial Government to create bike lanes in any circumstances, nor to collect / report Municipal information to Provincial governments.

The City of Ottawa does a lot of great things however the way we plan cycling lanes completely ignores facts and data. Cycling represents an insignificant portion of commuting per census data.

This Bill seems to not take into account the millions of Ontarians that currently cycle or would cycle more often if there were increased protected bike lanes. These would also help drivers get to their destination faster by removing additional cars from the roads.

Limiting the construction of new bike lanes is not good planning. The province should not be regulating where bike lanes can be constructed in a city the size of Toronto.

The province doesn't need to get involved in bike lanes. Use provincial authority to force action on more housing, not dictating where bike lanes need to be.
Bike lanes are integral to our life in Toronto. We use them all year round which keeps our car off the road. We rely on them for deliveries. More and more neighbours are using them. Let's trust our local urban planners to do what's most helpful for this of us who live here.

Bike lanes can significantly decrease traffic congestion. By providing a dedicated route for cyclists, we reduce the number of cars on the road, easing congestion and improving traffic flow.

This incredibly short sighted proposal is an affront to all Ontarians that want other methods of travel to be available to them.
It would be so wonderful to have a government that embraces alternatives to encourage people out of vehicles, thus reducing gridlock and congestion.
