Please do not get rid of the Yonge, Bloor, and University bike lanes. Me (23) and my dad (55) bike to work everyday on these routes, and my quality of life is higher because I’m able to use these bike lanes. Read more

I use the bike lanes every day to get to and from work. Biking is the best way to get around Toronto-- it is fast, environmentally friendly, and healthy. Removing bike lanes will not stop me from biking- it will just put the lives of myself and many people I know in danger. Read more

1. Increased Safety: Dedicated bike lanes separate cyclists from vehicles, reducing the likelihood of collisions and making streets safer for all users, including pedestrians and drivers. Read more

Bike lines are essential to the function of our cities and the health of our citizens. They save lives and make drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians feel safer, especially on major roadways. This is an outrageous proposal that would literally send our city backwards in time. Read more

I’ve been biking to work on Yonge street for some time now, and I don’t believe that removing the bike lane will speed up car traffic. I recently had an experience getting to work where the bike lane was blocked and required cyclists to go into the car traffic lane. Read more

This is really bad. Why go back on the progress we've made? Bike infrastructure needs to be increased, not decreased. I know so many people (including me and my family) who feel unsafe while biking on Ontario roads, and hence avoid it. The current bike infrastructure is really bad. Read more

Bike lanes on municipal streets are a municipal issue. If there was a bike lane on the 401, then the provincial government would have every right to remove it, but removing three bike lanes on municipal streets is an abuse of authority.

This is one of the most insanely misguided and pathetic overreaches in recent ontario government history, which is saying a lot, and the fact that this culture war trash (which is also incredibly damaging to a lot of people and their chosen means of conveyance) is being used to distract people from Read more

I'm a long-time resident of Etobicoke who walks, uses the TTC frequently, and recently started learning how to ride a bike due to the expansion of the Tangerine RideShare bikes to my area. Read more

This is absolutely wrong and must NOT be allowed. The province has NO BUSINESS deciding whether municipalities should or should not get bike lanes. This represents massive overreach by Doug Ford and will not be tolerated. Read more

As a driver living in Toronto, I hope there will be more bike lanes in the city. When I drive in the places without bike lanes, I’m scared of my car being damaged by the cyclists. Read more

I'm a transit rider and driver in downtown Toronto. Both transit and roads are often at capacity during peak times, and if we added the people who bike onto either mode, it'll significantly make traffic and/or crowding worse. Read more

The provincial government shouldn't be adding red tape and bureaucracy to municipal governments' ability to address local transportation options. Bike lanes are essential transportation routes for thousands of people daily in Toronto, including myself. Read more

This is an absolutely terrible proposal. You should be ashamed of putting the convenience and expediency of drivers above the safety of cyclists and pedestrians. Do you really think that by removing these bike lanes, cyclists will stop using these roads? Read more

This is a tremendously bad idea. I oppose the removal of bike lanes as it will not help traffic move quicker. More bikes mean fewer cars, safer cycling and a boast to small business along routes with bike lanes. Read more

As a regular TTC commuter, this proposal is ridiculous. As the premier pretends to serve Ontarians and cut spending, the province will waste millions ripping up brand new infrastructure, and doom our already overcrowded roadways and TTC. Read more

We need to look at congestion taxes for vehicles entering Toronto. The tax should based on the legal capacity of the vehicle and the number of people in the currently in the vehicle. This would encourage car pooling and people driving smaller vehicles. Read more
