I do not support this bill. Municipalities should have control of local roads. The provincial government should only control provincial highways. The local council and mayor have a better understanding of what their communities need and want.

Almost all cyclists also drive cars or take taxis or public transport. Dedicated bike lanes make it more likely that people will feel safe enough to ride bikes instead of driving cars. Too many cars on the road are what causes traffic congestion, not bikes. Read more

Studies consistently show that the way to reduce traffic is to provide alternate modes of transportation including public transit, BIKE LANES, and safer pedestrian infrastructure. Read more

Hi, I am a business owner based in the Vaughan—Woodbridge riding and I am deeply concerned about this bill. I am a massive supporter of public transportation and bike lanes are a critical part of our public transportation infrastructure. Read more

I'm a driver. I don't like gridlock but I also like bike lanes that separate them from me. I don't really want to get into an accident where I run them down because they have to weave in and out of traffic and parked cars. Read more

Please reconsider. MORE bike lanes and bike infrastructure is what will reduce traffic in our city, not taking them away. I have been biking around Toronto since 2020 (I bought a bike in order to avoid taking TTC during the COVID pandemic) and have increased my usage every year since then. Read more

Removing existing bike lanes to improve car traffic, would be blatantly ignoring all of the data showing otherwise. In at least one case in Toronto, removing bike lanes actually INCREASED car travel times. Read more

This is a ridiculous suggestion to remove bike lanes on bloor, yonge, and university. These lanes make it safer for bikers and more accessible to get around the city. Numerous times before the lanes were put in, I was almost knocked into traffic by parked vehicles opening their doors on me. Read more

I am a Toronto cyclist, driver, and transit user. Many of us in this city use multiple forms of transportation and we make choices about which based on what is efficient, cost-effective, and environmentally conscious. We also make choices about which is safest. Read more

Toronto should prioritize the maintenance of its existing bike lanes for several compelling reasons. First, these lanes promote cycling as a safe and viable mode of transportation, encouraging more residents to choose biking over driving. Read more

Toronto needs more bike lanes!! This proposal will not address congestion. Bikes are not the problem. Bike lanes are well used in Toronto. Bike lanes are reducing congestion, improving people's physical and mental health and helping create a vibrant city. Read more

As a driver and a cyclist, the plan to remove bike lanes along Bloor, Yonge and University is a waste of time and tax payer money. A better use of money would be policing intersections during rush hour to ensure traffic keeps moving smoothly. Read more

As a driver who commutes in and out of downtown Toronto every weekday, I find the proposal to remove bike lanes on Bloor, University and Yonge to be an unacceptable and utterly wasteful use of government resources. Read more

The provincial government should not be adding red tape to the building of Ontario's transportation options. Bike lanes are an extremely important method for people to commute and reduce overall gridlock. Read more
