Horrible idea. This idea actively goes against why I enjoy going into the city. This will ensure I never vote PC. Not just this elections but any future election. As a former c supporter, I am dumbfounded that has ever seen the light of day.
This legislation is a horrible idea. I'm appalled that, as a tax payer, my money would be going towards the removal of existing bike lanes around Toronto. Bike lanes do not cause congestion and research has shown they actually lessen it.

My family use bike lanes almost every day for commuting to work and school. I'm appalled by province's attempt at taking away my freedom of choice and endangering my family by taking away safe transport options for them.

I am in strong opposition to this bill. Biking is my primary method of transportation, and this will make roads more dangerous.
-This encroaches on the authority of municipalities to implement infrastructure improvements, by creating needless red-tape and bureaucracy.

Why are we adding bureaucracy to adding bike lanes at the provincial level? Cities should be the ones to make these decisions. When I drive, I don't want bikers sharing the road with me, its dangerous for everyone. They should be in their own dedicated bike like.

This is a backward, uninformed, selectively (and/or poorly) researched and expensive waste. If the province wants to meddle to rule with spurious reasoning, why not wait until there is an election and make this part of its platform.
I am very concerned about this bill, and its implications for the future of this province. There are many reasons to NOT pass a bill that restricts the development of bike lanes in cities around Ontario. Here are a few:

I drive on Bloor street downtown regularly. Please keep the bike lanes. It's so much easier and safer to separate out cars and bikes. It's not going to be any easier for me to get around. Businesses want the bloor bike lanes through the downtown, drivers want them, and cyclists do, too.
This proposal is sheer madness. Its main result will be to reduce freedom of choice for every resident by forcing people into vehicles. This legislation will make life worse for everyone - including motorists.

Approving policy so clearly designed at removing bike lanes is a short sighted move that shows no understanding of induced demand. A city like Toronto needs to make it EASIER for people within it to move around with viable alternatives to cars.

Please abandon this proposal! It is deeply problematic for the future of Ontario. The provincial government should not be interfering in city roads without very strong cause. This flies counter to how road management has long since been handled.

This reform is bad and I and all of my friends live in this city and can’t drive. This reform will harm more than it will benefit in the long run. New condos and apartments now have 100 time the amount of bike parking to car. More people are going to live here and bike everyday .

As someone from Edmonton and Regina, one with great biking infrastructure and one with non existent biking infrastructure, one is clearly better. As a non biker, having biking infrastructure is one of the best ways to not be scared of the roads.

I believe this bill to be a major step backwards in progress and the development of our city. I live in the area and use the bike lanes nearly everyday. Removing the bike lanes will not only make traffic worse, they will put lives at risk.

This is an affront to municipal decisioning and directly infringes on my rights as a voter. This bill should not pass. It is a blatant attempt to mask poor provincial policy for highway 413, and punishes Toronto due to some ego the premier still holds over his failed mayoral campaign.

This legislation is a waste of taxpayer money. Studies specific to this area tell us that bike lanes have not meaningfully changed car traffic, so why remove them? They also have a positive impact to local business throughout the affected corridor.
