This is quite literally the biggest waste of money. The bike lanes are already there, I walk down these streets every day of my life, while Doug Ford lives out in the Etobicoke. It is so rarely "bumper to bumper traffic" on these streets. The real traffic comes from the highways! From the Gardiner!

Traffic congestion often arises from other issues, like poor public transit options, inefficient road designs,Over population and a lack of transportation alternatives. By focusing on adding lanes, you ignore the underlying causes of congestion.

I am a SENIOR CITIZEN and I rely on Toronto’s wonderful and growing network of safe bike lanes to get me where I need to go on my bicycle. To the doctor. To the pharmacy. To visit my family. To buy groceries.

The name of this project is ironic as research shows us time and time again that adding bike lanes improves traffic flow for all road users. Even if they didn’t, the government should be providing safe options for all road users, not just the privileged few.

I don't even bike, I take public transit (GoTrain) and walk, but ripping out existing bike lanes is is the most ridiculous thing I've heard. Not only is it a waste of time, and money; it will only succeed in making roads even more unsafe.

This is a regressive and unacceptable move by the provincial government. Doug Ford himself noted that bike lanes are necessary for cyclists to feel safe back when he was filmed riding with Jagmeet Singh on Toronto streets!

Cyclists' lives matter. I, along with a lot of other residents in my city, commute by bikes every day. By removing bike lanes and pushing us to the main roads, this bill is going to put our lives at risk of being killed by motor vehicles that weigh a ton.

As an avid cyclist, a retired cycling commuter and believer in environmental causes, I find this bill offensive, dangerous, regressive and a colossal waste of time, effort and money.

Please, do NOT remove bike lanes! Please ADD MORE bike lanes!
We do not need the added red tape to the process for communities to add more transportation options for the public. Do not waste our tax revenue on ripping out infrastructure that is already in place!

This is absolutely ludicrous that a provincial government is once again meddling in municipal affairs. I suggest you resign and run for municipal office since it appears that is all you are interested in.

This is not the way forward. Bike lanes are incredibly useful and should be kept and increased in number for the sake of economic growth, safety, and environmental concerns.
City streets should prioritize people, not cars.

As a resident of Toronto, I don't want bike lanes to be taken away as they provide a safe alternative to people for commuting. I would also encourage Doug Ford to start riding, as it can significantly improve his health.

Good day,
Removing bike lanes, will result in higher traffic on the same roads, it completely against basic logic.
For example 40 people are biking to work, using a bike lane, now lets switch to 40 more cars?
Where is the extra parking space for those cars is going to appear from?

As an Ontarian who cannot afford a car, I find it disappointing and upsetting that the current government is prioritizing the use of cars in urban areas purely in order to "reduce gridlock" and "save time" for motorists.

This IS the greatest idea. Bikes are fragile and dangerous. They don't need a drivers license but they complete roads with cars. They run red lights all the time, always take for granted vehicle drivers ensure their safety but the problem is they do NOT follow traffic regulations.

We need more protected bike lanes not less. Every week, I personally face dangerous situations with inattentive truck drivers while cycling. Living in this car-infested wasteland is so miserable.
As a resident of the Kingsway neighborhood I was thrilled to see the bike lanes go in last year. I have also seen zero negative impact on my business which is situated on Bloor Street at Royal York.
